Quietest pair.

Honestly I don't know. The smartpower 2.0 is very quiet, but it hasn't been thoroughly tested yet. I think it would depend more on what you do with the case/psu once you set it up.

Strong, super-stable, super-efficient, every connector you could want. And QUIET. I came close to ordering an Enermax EG565P-VE, which I'm sure I would have been pleased with, but I couldn't get over the S12's efficiency and near-silence.
