Can anyone kindly suggest a good/reliable power supply which is quiet enough ? with having lesser and smaller fan ?
If possible not lower than 350 watts.Budget around RM 150~300

Thank you

try Silverstone Strider Series..

ya~silver stone ST50F are recommended~the best psu

Both having 12cm fan which I though isn't that quiet.I never use before , which I need those who is using telling me how noisy or quiet it is.

Is quiet.

But we don't know how quiet you want.

It's hard to judge and recommend you also:)

try corsair. no sound at all. some even assumed the fan not spinning.

But totally over his budget:)

But i also agree..go for corsair if budget allow;)

Here's an example , I am currently using Enermax FMA 350
http://www.enermax.com.tw/english/product_...ay1.asp?PrID=29
Having 2 fan and running at the lowest speed 2000 RPM.
I found it my whole room can hear the fan noise.

From on your budget, you can get ST50F. It is a reliable PSU, and cheap too. Based on its website, noise level 22 dBA minimum is pretty silent to me. Should be not much of a different with CM Silent LED fan (19 dBA)

Within you budget,

Just try st50f or a used st56f.

Both are silent.

What is thier RPM ? If I raise my budget , will I getting a more quiet psu ?

basically i don even realise that my com is on until i want to use my com again sometimes( i always left it idle for downloading with the monitor OFF) with silverstone 560w ...it will cost u around rm320-350... if u have rm600 to splash den u can go for corsair 620w...

less fan? the most fans i saw is 2, and the less... no fan , if you want 0db, get an fanless PSU, but it's just not that good due to our climate here

Silverstone ST40F, ST50F or ST56F is the best choice for your budget. Why are there many users using it? Because of its price + reliable + silent

How silent does it run ? can gives some example please ?

Right now here are a few question ,

Which PSU is the most silent PSU
For budget :

RM 0 - RM 20 = ?
RM 201 - RM 400 = ?
RM 401 - RM 600 = ?
RM 601 - RM 800 = ?

My meaning of silent is close to fanless PSU.I'm using Enermax FMA 350W and it's noisy which it had 2 fan running 2000rpm and I am not able to set it lower.

Anyone can help mod?

Corsair VX450. Cant hear the fan at all, even when gaming with 8800GT.

Of course you can't hear the fan if you are using 8800GT stock cooler.8800GT alone is already very noisy when load which cover up the noise of your Corsair VX450.

I want someone who actually having a passive GPU cooling or no graphic card at all to compare the power supply noise.

Is it that hard finding a silent power supply or every lowyat.net user never even bother about the noise level of the pc ?

Silent PSU ?
Gigabyte Odin GT
set the fan speed to minimum 800rpm on 14cm fan . its very quiet.

Like I said , if your PC having a 8800GT , you wouldn't be able to hear the power supply no matter quiet or noisy PSU because your Graphic Card fan cover it.

I need someone who really thinks noise is a problem. NOt those who choosing Performace over noise.

How silent is silent? ~22db (Stock intel cooler noise levels) silent enough for you?

If you want less than 22db, tough luck, a PC is not recommended for you.

I am pretty sure you can't compare 22db.Everyone is different , some even complain stock intel cooler is noisy.

So can you tell me how do you measure 22db ? What is your 8800GT db ?

how about using 25% fan speed if u know how to get idle under 55C ?

my ST56F silent gila...

my ST50F also silent great

Hi Kingmax bro, my FMA 350W is not noisy, I adjust the fan speed to minimum level. It is more quiet than the chapalang icute power supply (also have 2 8cm fan) that i used before. FYI, my housemate using Enermax Liberty 400W power supply that have only 1 12cm fan, it is quit silent also

wao
if use 8800gt
then good lo cause it already
noisy till can cover the psu noisy right?
haha

lol silrave = =.....
who wants gfx has high pitch noise ler ?

Thank you for your reply.I think my FMA 350W having problem with it maybe dust stuck on it.I'd like to ask , what is your fan speed when you adjust to the minimum ?

ok ok
haha
now thinking get PNY 8800gt or galaxy 8800gt

my silverstone strider 400w quiet one..even got 12cm fan
