Hi, I didn't had X-850, but I changed two seasonic x-660 both with a annoying coil noise confirmed by the retailer, I tested both on 3 different systems and on all they had coil noise so it wasn't induced by other hardware. Its your choice if you want to try another seasonic, depends on how lucky yo...

i checked my hearing 2 years ago and everything was excellent, no problems found, i take care of my hearing, and I am still young. I have another question. Can the coil noise in the PSU be induced/provoked by another component? like the the motherboard. I started the pc without the video card and hd...

I am 100% sure it is from the PSU because the psu is outside the pc case so I can put my ear near it.

After I bought a nexus psu with coil noise that i could hear it from across the room now I got Seasonic x-660. I don't know if I am just unlucky but the new psu make a buzzing noise and something high pitch noise. it is not as loud as the one from nexus, but i can still hear it from inside the case....

I totally agree but nexus was not cheap and is highly recommended, I wasn't cheap :). Most Enermax PSU models are available here but they are even more expensive than seasonic x-660. The cheapest enermax with that gold look fan that is rated as being silent is Enermax PRO87+ 500W that costs as much ...

After my bad experience with nexus I just want to be 100% sure.
Seasonic is 50% more expensive than nexus and nexus wasn't cheap.
The fan inside seasonic can run as high as 2200 RPM and that is a concern for me, that can't be silent

is there a better solution than seasonic x-660 ?

after the unpleasant experience with the nexus I decided to go with another brand because there are a lot of complains about coil noise with nexus. I am looking at Seasonic X-660 (the 560W is not available). Is this PSU the best quiet solution? I just want to be sure I make the right choice.

here, on a retailer website are few feedbacks from other users that complain about coil noise in RX-6300.
the inside of the RX-6300 and NX-6000 R3 is exactly the same? because I don't see any complains of coil noise in NX-6300 R3.

I bought RX-6300 and it has coil noise. it makes a buzzing noise even when my pc is off. the fan motor makes a clicking noise. i will return it.

Maybe this will help someone else. Ive sent an email to nexus and they replied: "In noise the RX-6300 would be close to the NX-6000 and the RX-5300 would be more silent than the NX-5000 R3. But for both levels the difference is almost not noticeable." So I will buy RX-5300 because it is modular and,...

thank you very much for helping me. From what I see the PSUs with a SanAce fan are most quiet, but only top of the line psu have one and they are expensive. The best choice for me is a Nexus. The only thing I have to do now is to decide between Nexus NX-5000 R3 and Nexus RX-5300 (modular), both are ...

I am making a new system: 2500K, Asus P67 MB, 2x2GB RAM (maybe later 4x2GB), 2xHDD 7200RPM, 1xHDD 5400 rpm, 5x120/140mm FAN, Sapphire 6850 video card (I will upgrade sometime). A 500W PSU is enough for the system but a more powerful PSU will run cooler and maybe a better investment. Is Corsair Build...

so nexus is still the best option. Is there any other PSU quieter than Nexus at the same price? Seasonic X series is much more expensive.

Is Corsair TX650 v2 worth taking into consideration? is same price but has more power and 5yrs warranty. Does anyone know what fan is inside?

I see. So nexus is the way to go. Now I have to decide between rx and nx. The fan in the NX looks like the Nexus case fan real silent 120mm, but after I looked after the manufacturer I see that the case fan is made by yate loon according to SPCR and the PSU fan is made by Muhua Industrial. I bought ...

Can you give me the link for Seasonic S12II 520 test? I can't find it. thank you
the 380W and 520W version don't have the same fan model from what I see from pictures.

I want to buy a new PSU. Which of these is most silent? The nexus rx has a bigger fan.
Seasonic S12II-520 Bronze/Seasonic M12II 520W Bronze VS Nexus NX-5000 R3/Nexus RX-5300

I am also interested which card is more silent, asus or sapphire. From what i read asus can't go lower than 1500 rpm.

Could asus 6850 be more silent than Sapphire? I want to buy 6850 but cant decide between this two. thanks
