Great review, the new 3d sound images are as much beautiful as meaningful. But you can not complain all of the time that "everthing's quiet BUT the psu fans are not" then not trying anything to shut them up. The rest of the case is good, the psu is hard to change... looks like a mandatory mod to me,...

Me too, after bad experiences with small toys I got me a 1250VA, added 2 200Ah truck auxiliary batteries and can run for hours, but I know many people out there have 1000's $ equipment and data without even a surge protected power strip ! I just read that Mike has bankrupted the site to buy a new va...

embarassing hole in spcr psu reviews
that's interesting: in all of the reviews they have a good time in testing the max rated currents and the temperatures, and nobody ever cares to ceck out what happens when the AC supplied is bad, wich is much more important ! How many people use the max power for 10+ minutes ? and how many have an i...

I never meant to do any harm to silentpcreview.com , just that I'd like spcr.com to point to the same ip as well and this for the occasions where 2-finger-typing ppl like me need to type it.

Hi I am thinking about getting me a reserator because of it's promise to cool well a gaming machine with no audible sound. Why were you disappointed, is there anything wrong with the product ? Silence is the first thing, I don't mind running my cpu regular clocked and in the 50's C, but it has to be...

none of them
The 5400 idles typically at 2.5 as specified in manual. that says it all. The 7200.7 performs always .1 louder than ST360015A, so is out to. I wonder why you do not consider the SPCR reference ST340016A. I do not have experience about them, but I am the biggest fan of ST360015A, idling inaudible in ...

Nowhere_man, why don't you play around with yours and write here the VA and W readings ? I don't understand what is not that simple.

I was referring to a generator/inverter being driven by a computer/man to compensate the remote psu noise. common pfc is at the other side. Could it be swapped back on the line to the generator in a lab circuit ? Probably, if it's at the first stage of power conditioning. If yes, Can we add up the n...

switching PSU Vs inverters and alternators: the bike analogy

PF and UPS
Thanks zuperdee for his explanation and links, after much mumbling and reading I agree with him about PF. The phase displacement between current and voltage is only confusing in our switching psu world, it makes sense in traditional inductor-resistor-capacitor-genrator circuits where you can actuall...

I did look in my italian power bill for the price. They apply different prices due to how much you consume, and where when how and why. It's really not clear, they must do it to keep off the curious ones. Anyway for a normal residential use it's about 0.13 Eur/KwH. If it was 0.28 GBP i could as well...
