If Silverstone have 560W with modular, I will buy it...but too bad...I can't found any...or did I miss out something... blink.gif

AFAIK, Silverstone's modular design is from Decathlon series, but this's gonna cost a bomb... brows.gif

Anybody can recommend me a silent PSU? Not really into overclocking.... I've read so many reviews on Silverstone Strider ST405, Acbel Intelligent Power 450W, Coolermaster Extreme Power, etc...now starting to be abit confusing. One website say that one is good, then the other website says not good... then suddenly one person say must get PSU with Active PF...now really dun know which one to get...

please help. I'm only looking for a good, decent, QUIET PSU.

p/s : I almost made up my mind to buy Acbel, but then read from some comments from forumers saying that Coolermaster PSU fails alot and it's from Acbel made. How now?

when comes to <450W PSU, avoid CoolerMaster or Acbel, get Silverstone, Enermax, FSP, Antec instead thumbup.gif, IMO, Silverstone ST405, Enermax Liberty 400W, Enermax FMA 350W is a good choice... hmm.gif, forget 350W Enermax FMA tongue.gif, too low i think for todays computing...

Ok thanks bro...btw is the Active PF thing really crucial? From wat I read, SIlverstone Strider ST405 does not have this feature. What about the noise level? which one is the quietest?
*
doh.gif, my Enermax FMA isn't Active PFC and my Zeus is Active PFC, nothing different... unsure.gif, anyway, actually i meant, IMO, doesnt really matter... smile.gif, noise level? i must say, Silverstone is the most quiet PSU among those i listed... thumbup.gif

What wattage it have for Decathlon series? How much and where can I get that? Any forumer sell or bulk it?
Do you mean the ST60F? wow, all is modular... but the price... sweat.gif  still can't make my mind on which PSU should I get... thinking of get Liberty 500W...what you guys think, if I upgrade to C2D, 2GB DDR2, adding few more 120mm fan, add high capacity hdd to replace current low capacity hdd,should be enough juice right...since C2D is consume less power? unsure.gif  Not going to upgrade gc as I am not hardcore gamer, so my current 7600GS should be sufficient, and I am not going to use Vista that fast... laugh.gif

Decathlon series only offer 650W; 750W and 1200W, the price? it's gonna be very expensive, well maybe same price range with Olympia series...

Liberty 500W is good i must say..., not meant a Liberty thought, but i meant, 500W should be sufficient for your system...

IMO, no really... if you can afford getting nice 8600GT, 8600GTS, 8800GTS, 8800GTX or even 8800GTX Ultra, why not getting a nice reliable PSU, 8800GTS coupled with some lame PSU, definitely a risk i must tell you, if not now, sooner or later... it's just a matter of time...

guys, between enermax FMAII 460w and liberty 400w, which will u choose considering both have almost similiar pricing?
*
i'd say FMA II, why? because it's non-modular PSU... Liberty 400W is good though... but that's just me smile.gif

The problem is not constant right? Sumtimes buzzing sumtimes not buzzing? This is sumtimes caused by unclean power from my own experience. Like in my hse, when sum1 turns on the hot water heater in the bathroom, my PSU starts buzzing, my projector TV also has these horizontal lines running up n down the screen while the shower is on. The minute the heater goes off, all these things stop. Weird but true. laugh.gif

it might be true nod.gif, because, i XP too, when someone (usually my mom la), using blender... there goes the buzz sound, sometime from monitor power, and not always from PSU...

big no-no to so-called iCute true power PSU, you can get a quad core system, but lack of PSU, although still can be running, but still... strongly get other reputable brand like Silverstone, PC Power & Cooling, OCZ... general guideline for me lah, the heavier, the better tongue.gif
