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.

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 ?

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 ?

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

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 ?
