Modular psu suggestions
Hello,
Searching for a modular psu to replace my brand new hiper 580W(far too noisy for my taste, the 80mm fan runs far too much and is quite noisy, the 120mm is also noisy( a little less)).
Some passively cooled psu would be ideal(i wish they did watercooled psu's) since noise is quite annoying.
EDIT: need at least 300W, although more isnt a problem.(I only have a pcie 6600GT+X2 4200+ overclocked+3 sata disks on it)
Suggestions?
Best Regards,
DeathWolf

Seasonic M12 should do the job.
BTW, are those Hipers really with "sieve" design? That won't do good for airflow inside PSU so 80mm fan has to turn about always for PSU to have effective cooling.
There's more than one passively cooled PSU:

Also in fact watercooled PSU exists

Water and power are just things which should be preferably kept separately IMO.

There aren't reviews with both of them but here's reviews whose results are comparable...
Maybe except that voltage regulation of Corsairs weren't tested with full load on 12V with extreme crossload (3A/3.3V & 4A/5V ~30W vs 56A/12V) and with input temperature of 55C.

Personally I would keep Seasonic's traditional sleeved cables as better than Corsair's "flat" cables. (also that ripple of bigger Corsair doesn't look good)
