Re: New PSU time!

Are you sure? Overestimating sometimes doesn't help quietness. I've used this calculator . With moderate overclocking, here are the results: Load Wattage: 626 W Recommended UPS rating: 1200 VA Recommended PSU Wattage: 676 W Considering that the full load is never reached in practical conditions and...

Re: How quiet are the SeaSonic Snow Silents?

Not that right, I suppose: define silent, please. Quieter than a snowfall, as the name suggest. I said: "more a marketing gimnick than a real advancement over the usual Sanyo Denki ones".
