Hello, after a few days of research at local stores and on the internet, I have two options left. But: Which of them is better? Which is quieter? The PSU with 120mm fan branded "HX" I refered to in a previous thread seems to have vanished from Ebay, but a very similar model branded "Power" is now of...

Great, that link helped me a lot !!! The PSU seems to be really OK. The only thing I am worrying about now is the current specs. See the three models they offer, labeled with the most likely exagerated power rating given by the manufacturer. And tell me which one I should buy for a "normal" AMD XP26...

After 140 views of this post, just one single opinion? Sorry if links are in German, but it's mainly the pictures which matter, and tech stuff reads the same as English anyhow. I did two more things: First, I looked at one of the auctions again, and it tells the PSUs are made by Golden Field. That s...

Have a look at this! What brand of PSU are these? Do I have to believe the promised noise levels? I am even not 100% sure all three offers are the same thing. They are sold for 20-35$ on ebay.de. Please comment: http://www.w-2-m.com/netzteil.htm You'll see 4 PSUs. The first two claim to be 19-21dB w...

OK, convinced ! Not talked over, I really mean convinced!

I'll try to get that option (2) in my initial post in the auction at a good price, and if it get's too expensive, I'll pass and wait for the Seasonic.

Thanks a lot for your help and for sharing all that knowledge with me!

Thanks a lot, dukla2000, for that precise and well explained answer. I conclude from your words that any Fortron PSU is fine, the 120mm model as well as any other fitted with a quieter fan. And that I should wait for the Seasonic PSUs to show up. I'll perhaps do that. But I guess if everyone does, S...

Which one will be quieter: The 120mm Fortron in PFC-version, or the FSP300-60BTV(PF) 300W with Papst 8412NGL ? The announced Seasonic Super Tornado PSU. When will it be available, what will be the price range, and is everyone sure it will be better than the others? Of course I don't want to stop any...

I need help deciding on a new power supply. Here's the situation and my preselection: I typically no not update my PC too often and if I do I try to get something of high quality at good value that will serve me for a while. I am willing to pay a little bit more, but only if I see a clear benefit in...
