A little help. True430 vs Forton Blue Storm
Ok I want to get a new PSU. I have a Antec True430 that is about 2-3 years old. I want to get a Blue Storm because it is a great PSU but I do not know what the noise difference is between the two. What do you guys think? Any experience with both?
I have one of the TruePower 430 power supplies - purchased in 2002 I think. It isn't in a case at the moment just on the floor powering a ghetto setup - Athlon 1400, Gigabyte motherboard, no case fans ( 
), 20GB HD, graphics card.
Purchased a BlueStorm 350 for a relative which is now powering his Athlon 64 system. The loudest fans are the Arctic Freezer 64 and the two Jeantech Phong case fans.
The BlueStorm seems quieter than the earlier Fortron power supplies with 120mm fans.
The only test I can do at the moment is put my ear next to the psu fans and let you know what I think. Load will be different on the two systems so I don't think it is the best test.
