About a year ago, I searched high and low for a fanless power supply above 400W which was completely silent, but was disappointed with electrical buzzing noises coming from the most recommended power supply (Seasonic X 460). Is there a fanless power supply now that makes absolutely no buzzing noise ...

Can anyone test to see if it makes buzzing noises like the Seasonic fanless PSU?

There is a damn good reason to buy it, and that's to potentially avoid the electrical buzzing noise that the Seasonics all emit. I'd settle for slightly less efficiency and slightly more cost if it means having a pure completely silent PSU. Just search Seasonic and buzz on the internet, you'll see l...

The new Silverstone 500W ST50NF Fanless power supply is available now: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817256075 Finally, an alternative to the fanless Seasonic X power supplies. Someone buy it and tell us whether it buzzes/squeals/chirps like the Seasonic X fanless power suppl...

What's the point of them making this video card, when it's impossible to get?

Already "deactivated" on newegg, which means end-of-life usually, and no where else selling it at a reasonable price.

Yes, I am very sure it is coming from the SSD. I had the SSD outside of the computer case, 1m away from everything else, and I put my ear right next to the SSD. The noise I heard coincides exactly with the time I do the benchmarks. So it is 100% confirmed that the noise is coming from the SSD. Now, ...

I have tried 2 different SSDs (Western Digital 256gb and Intel 320 120gb), they both make high-pitch squeaking and buzzing sounds when undergoing activity, particularly when running benchmarks. The noise is very soft, most people I think won't notice such a small noise. But has anyone here noticed i...

The HR-01 is older than the HR-02, I'm pretty sure the 02 is superior for passive so I'm not even considering the 01.

Waiting for review sites to post comparison results between HR-02 and HR-02 Macho, running passive!

There are 2 fanless power supplies on the market: - Seasonic X 460W (and 400W) - Silverstone Nightjar 400W We know that the Seasonic produces electrical buzzing sounds when under load, there are many posts about it on here, and even the reviewer noted the buzzing noise. But what about the Silverston...

Any updates on how to avoid getting a buzzing X-460 unit??

I want to know, can we run this CPU cooler in passive WITHOUT fan, like the original HR-02? There are some physical differences between this and the original HR-02, outlined here: http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=779&Itemid=62&limit=1&limitstart=5 But will those ...

Thanks for the info. It is the motherboard then. Both the motherboard and the PSU are at fault (because the PSU shouldn't buzz under any circumstances), but it looks like it's possible to avoid the buzzing if the motherboard plays nice.

More info on the "fix" please... is it because of the surge protector, or the motherboard, that solved the buzzing? What brand is the surge protector? Is Belkin good enough or not? So many questions... I have tried a few surge protectors before, not the expensive ones though, they made 0 difference ...

When will it be available in shops? I want it...

Your theory is great, but the problem is Intel's charging the same price (if not more) for the new G3 compared to the G2. If Intel is selling the G3 for half the price of the G2 at same capacities, then I'd be very happy, but that's not the case. As for the advertised write speed of 160mb/s, it was ...

What the... this is SLOWER than the Intel G2...
"While in 4K random read/write test,its performance was not so good,and the read/write speed was 22.53MB/s and 46.83MB/s,even lower than that of X25-M"

And the write speed is nowhere near the advertised speed of 160mb/s.

I waited for 5 months for this?

Rather than try to blame it on the quality of the electricity, why doesn't Seasonic just spend a few extra dollars to make sure that every part in the PSU is solid and doesn't make buzzing/squealing/whining noises? I have some generic brand PSUs that don't make anywhere near as much buzzing noise as...

People have to stop recommending Seasonics, they all buzz audibly, even the fanless ones.

And no, the fan noise does not mask the buzzing.

I have a cheap Vantec power supply that buzzes less than the Seasonics 3x its price. Unacceptable.

I tried 3 X-650s, all have same buzzing noise as the X-460s. Returned them all.
I think all of Seasonic's power supplies have this problem. How disappointing.
It's not a problem with my electricity, because I experienced the same noise in 5 different locations, including the shops that tested them.

Please help, I also need a PSU that has no coil whine when used on an i7 computer. I've tried so many brands (Antec, Seasonic, Corsair, Vantec, Zalman) and they all have the stupid coil whine noise. What's wrong with these power supply makers? Yes I acknowledge that the noise might be caused by the ...

I have tried 2 Seasonic X-460W fanless power supplies, and both of them make buzzing sounds. The buzz becomes a high pitch constant squeal when the computer is turned off, but has the electricity cable still plugged into the power supply. It's extremely annoying and disappointing. I had no problems ...
