Well, now I'm even more in doubt. But still, thanks for the input! Both the Nexus and Tagan seems interesting, although I'd really like to read reviews of it here on SPCR. The AX500-A also sounds interesting, but I'm not sure if Fortron is the ultimate silent-psu-maker any longer...

Why, of course, you're right, Atmos. Never checked that review out. Worth checking? Absolutely, but where? Anyone seen some reviews that compare the 4000 with the 4090? But how do you guys know that the Nexus is more silent than the Noisetaker, when it's not listed on the recommended list here on SP...

Thanks a bunch for you input! :) Noizz: I'm just a little bit sceptical to the Nexus, as it's rated 6+ (on noise) on SPCR's PSU recommendation list, as opposed to the Noisetaker's 8, or the SilenX' 7. How is the Nexus more silent? Is the list wrong? Kingcow: Firstly because I've never heard of them ...

Hey, cool. Just found out that the norwegian Nexus reseller has started selling the Nexus NX-4090, and that at a good price. So is this the most silent 400W from the brands I listed? (List is updated... )

Brett,
Thanks for your input. Although fanless would be cool (definately no pun intended ) I'm really interested in psu's with fans for the time being, both because of the economical and practical aspect...

Thanks for the input. Unfortunately, I'm unable to find Seasonic or Nexus psu's, unless they're sold under another brand here. Why would you pick the Noisetaker over the Tagan? Because I wouldn't have any worries ordering from the shop selling Tagan here in Norway, if that's what you were thinking of.

Living in Norway, these are the brands available that I consider the most silent. But which one is the most silent? I'm aiming at the "around 400W" mark. Tagan Enermax Noisetaker Fortron/Source w/120mm fan SilenX Nexus I can see from the recommendation that SilenX is better than the Noisetaker on mi...

I'm wondering how much heat output the 9800 non-pro has compared with the 9800 pro. I'm of course thinking of putting a ZM80-HP on a non-pro, and from what I gather it works rather well on a pro, if the case is well cooled. Now, my case gets quite hot, and I'm wondering how much cooler the non-pro i...

Basically, Storagereview's idle noise figures are there for you to ignore. :) Well, that was more or less what I was thinking too. But the problem with MikeC's comparison is that he uses a 'cuda IV which is very hard to get (at least here in Norway...). I would like to see the same comparison with ...

I don't really get all this. Some say the Samsung has a whine, some says it's completely silent, some say it makes seek noise, review here on silentpcreview says there's no seek noise. Some say Samsung is more silent than the 'cuda V, others say the opposite... I'm going around in circles here... Co...

What do you guys think of this benchmark:

Choose "Idle Noise" from the drop down list...

Aha... I might want one of those... Would that make them cheaper too, or is single platter disks more expencive?

What's so special about the P80 80GB?

You get the samsungs with 8MB cache too. And still it's more quiet.

From what I've read on other posts and reviews here, the samsungs might be a better choice that Barracuda V...

I was thinking about that, but I found a shop listing a V80 as a 7200rpm, so I started wondering. So it's just the shop that messed up?

What's the difference between P80 and V80?

Well, I think I've come to the right place. I'm definately a fanatic when I can hear my 12dB cpu fan inside my case... So I'll get me a IV over the V. Thanks for the info.

Without the "recommended" fan, so that it's truly passive? Or is the FX5600Ultra too hot?

I have a Ti4200 with a zm80hp heatsink, and it worked great, all until a lightning struck 10m from our house, that is... So I'm on the lookout for a new gfx card...

I've read alot of reviews stating that V is quieter than IV. But here on silentpcreview the opinion seems to be the opposite... Which one is the most quiet?
