S12s
does anybody here know what the audible difference between the s12-500 and the lower s12s would be. Im getting this PS for the connections (3x SATA) and the pci-e, and im wondering if the noise will be noticeably different from the s12-300 for example or the s12-430. Any thoughts?
Also, I saw that somebody in a forum had a Be Quiet! psu, I couldnt find too much reliable information on that unit. anybody know? i am going to try to get in touch with the person who posted it. Thanks,

Depends on what speed the 7000 fan is running at. If 5V, it's quiet enough for most people; I've never heard a hum associated w/it. Unless your friend is running it at 12V in an aluminum case, the 7000 is probably not the sources of this hum. I'd look at the HDD first.Ackelind wrote:Isn't the 7000b pretty loud? My friens has one, and it is by far the loudest component in his setup, even though he hasn't even opted for a silent computer. It makes a deep "hum" in his case (3700BQE) even when set at lowest with the fanmate.

Re: S12s
From what I've read it won't be very noisy at first but as time passes it will get noiser due to its ball bearings.capleton wrote:does anybody here know what the audible difference between the s12-500 and the lower s12s would be.
