Anyone seen a review that tests the efficiency of FSP460 PSU? Wondering if it would be a comparable (and cheaper) alternative to Seasonic 460 (SS-460AGX).

Hoping that going 460W will allow the psu fan to stay low speed at a higher load (3+ghz system) as the pretty picture here indicates for the SS (page 2 graphs): http://www.seasonic.com/pdf/datasheet/0 ... lencer.pdf

And if that doesn't work, then the slightly beefier heatsinks should make it easier to mod a low air flow solution perhaps...

Great site & forums btw. All the PC noise has made me snap finally so I'm thankful for all the helpful info here that will help me go silent.
