Hi Folks,
First thanks for the outstanding resource. Glad to be a part of it.
I'm building a Digital Audio Workstation and as such am aiming for maximum quietness to mix and record without background noise. This is the no. 1 concern.
My original plan was to buy the Seasonic 650W Gold X-Series, However I saw that for marginally more I could get the SeaSonic Platinum-660 660W
Then I saw a lot of talk about voltage whine from the Platinum, although after searching I saw feedback from time to time indicating whine from the Gold Series.
I basically want to know which system is more likely to be quieter. The Platinum does have more technical pluses but If I'll be taking more of a chance on voltage whine/higher noise with Platinum then I'm going for Gold.
I don't think I'll be using more the 450W so both systems would remain in silent mode for the most part, but I'd like to have the extra voltage in case.
Thanks.
Seasonic Gold vs Seasonic Platinum.
