thats funny, when i used that same calculator it said 609 watts

looks like the seasonic jumps to 31dba around 340 watts but at low temps fan is off. if the rx nexus is as good and silent as the nx it will be a tough call. you do get full modular and gold with seasonic. part modular with rx and no modular with nx which i believe are both bronze. these 3 psu units...

how many watts of power do you think i would draw with this setup. the reason im asking is the fans kick in to 31dBA at about 340 watts -seasonic x-650. if im gonna hit 350 often i would opt for a nexus -AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz -G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DD...

i agree with Parappaman. the CP-850 may be alot of watts but its a must have with that case and the reviews were great.

my post may help you as i have the same case in mind

i want to get these 92mm nexus PWM fans but how will i control the speed. i was told if there is no control they will run at full speed and thats not good. the asus motherboard has 4 pin Q-fan but that is only for the cpu. the case and psu headers are 3 pin. any thoughts?

im looking for a wireless/N router but i never used wireless. i had a dual lan motherboard for years. any recommendations?

im looking at these 2 psu's and other than the RX being modular and larger fan is there a big difference especially with being quiet. im worried the RX will be louder and i know the NX is highly recommended. any thoughts?

any idea how the 2 psu's compare in noise?

can i use Nexus PWM Series DF1209SL-3PWM 92mm Case Fan with ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO/U3S6 motherboard or will they just spin at top speed

i have decided that 650 is overkill for me so im going with the solo an a nx-5000. hope it works out. thanks again

i know i have been a tough case here but thanks for all the good replies im going with the solo and a nx-5000. again thanks

i have decided on the solo due to its smaller size and quiet potential so the reviews lead me to the nexus NX or RX psu. even though the value430 may be quieter, reviews showed that is does not do as well under high heat and with the solo there will be more. any recommendation on which psu to go with?

do you think i could reuse this psu APEX AL-B450E 450W ATX12V for the above build

good to know thanks maybe ill use the money to replace the rear
antec tricool with a nice nexus 120mm

im starting to hate antec..... in that series the 2 cases that have the front esata dont have the HD suspension system. i mean come on just make a great case and stop messing with us.

forgot to mention the audio card, though i dont think it will jump the watts much and 1 120mm fan and 2 92mm fans

the only thing i may overclock is the ram to 1600 from 1333, im not a serious pc gamer mostly rts type and world of warcraft. no editing, but i would like to get into some sound recording i forgot to mention i have a creative sb x-fi audio 9400.

im on newegg.com and looking at scythe or nexus fans. how do they compare. im also wondering why scythe comes recommended in the 120 and 80mm size but not the 92mm on this site. any ideas on the 2 questions?

i have been using a dual lan motherboard for years to go online with xbox360 now with my new board i need a router for xbox360. i dont want to spend alot of money if i will not use the tech. any ideas?

thats your best bet if you want the same type case try Sonata Designer 500 comes with earthwatts rather than neo

the antec solo with either ENERMAX MODU82+ 625w, antec signature 650w or seasonic x650. or the antec P183 with CP-650 psu -AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz -G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 -ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO/U3S6 AM3 AMD 785G HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0...

how do these 3 power supplies compare and is it a waste of watts(to much) for the following setup -AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz -G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 -ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO/U3S6 AM3 AMD 785G HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 -2 Western Digital Cavi...

imo that is a good move. i may be doing the same with a seasonic x650 to go with....good luck

i give up......................

good question jessekopelman, but what is the answer. what case right now has the potential to be the most silent. its all the same is not true. yes components are the real factor, but if you took the same set of fans, psu, hd, cpu fan, etc. and used them in 4 possible cases the acoustics would chang...

well im going with the antec p183 with the c850 psu thats made for it or the solo with either a seasonic x650 which is a little expensive for me or similar. any ideas on a cheaper rival to the x650. another thing how important is this esata the solo is lacking dont most motherboards have it

thanks for the replies....i understand the point being made but it still seems that some cases are designed to dampen or reduce sound so to clarify the question i want the case that case the most out of the box potential to be silent. i know some come with crap fans and i plan to get a quality psu. ...
