Consider the NesteQ ASM 620 semi passive! One of the strongest ultra silent PSUs to date and i can tell you out of personal experience (i own a 7600 SLI system) that it's a excellent unit. maybe you want to add it to your list. (however it has only 2 12 Volt lines, 3 is ofcourse better. But the seco...

Yes, i sadly made this experience AFTER i fully installed the NesteQ, i found out it's pretty much work to change it now. I carefully bound all cables toghether in my case, this means a whole lot of work. I'm still hesitating to do it *g* (see my case: http://www.computerbase.de/forum/showthread.php...

review online (german)! http://www.hartware.de/news_40130.html Summary: + very stable even under load + quality surface and components + passive mode works well + internal fan easy to change for a different model - fan is too loud, manually set to low, still clearly audible that's exactly my experie...

I agree. You can never have enough control

extended control is however not available with the NesteQ for now.
only manual speed adjustment or semi-passive mode.

Looks like the NesteQ review unit will be shipped to silent pc the next days :wink: I'm also looking forward for the review. That is, i already have it, so i won't read any new facts. Except perhaps the difference between the low end 450 and the high end 620 W models. Question is how much louder Nes...

Maybe you'll want to wait, because i contacted NesteQ and they're going to send silent pc review a sample for review. But it's not though yet. I think whatever you choose, it's no mistake, but They should be completly (or almost) silent when in idle or browsing the net and only spin up a tad when pl...

Guess what! I had a talk with Elan Vital /NESTEQ and it looks like they are interested in sending you an ASM semi passive PSU for review!

MikeC you are an admin, so i guess i'll contact you via pm.

Hmmm i understand your theory about an agressive fan controler, but let me tell you, if the fan set's in and you put your hand at the rear ot the PSU, the air that comes out is roughly "warm", never nearly what i would call hot. But if i read the NESTEQs fan wouldn't start with 2 GeForce 6800 Ultra ...

Well to answer your question, hard to tell. This PSU stays "so cold" while being in use that only the slightest radiation should be easily enough to save it from suffering any damage. However, you have to mod it in some way, because the standard built-in fan turned even to it's slowest setting will ...

I prefer my NESTEQ ELAN VITAL 650W PSU.
It features a stunning 0 db and is rock stable!

it fires my GeForce 7 SLI system and is 96% of the time at 0 db.

just my 2 cents -

Hi! I registered this forum only for writing you my feedback, so please be sure to reward it ;-) I decided to buy the 650W Topmodel of the Nesteq Elan Vital power supplies and it fires my system quite well so far. Here a brief overview of my system: GeForce 7600 SLI System with 5 HDDs in RAID format...
