OCZ GameXStream or FSP 700W
Posted: Wed Jul 05, 2006 3:38 pm
I'm interested in these units but I'm worried about the noise level. Any SPCRers out there using them?

oc'd dual core CPU, Crossfire X1900s, watercooling system (pump + 4fans) and 4 HDs. I know it's not gonna suck 700w (slightly 530W load by some calculations), but no other 600W+ has the quad rails, UV fan (:P) and excellent amperage. Plus it's cheap today.El Doug wrote:Ive never seen the fsp used, but I can comment on the GameXStream. Its REALLY REALLY LOUD
OCZ claims that the Modstream is near-silent... and even it is rediculously noisy.
I cant say Ive had experience with the FSP. However, what is possessing you to believe you need 700watts?
No, they don't. Protechnic Electric, model MGA12012HB-O25.Howard wrote:I don't know if OCZ is using a different fan than FSP, though.
My x1900s are also overclocked, driving up the amp requirement. CPU 10A, x1900 ~12A-15A each, pump 3-4A, you can see under full usage it's pretty much sucking up all the amperage the S12s are *spec'd* for (I know they have a much higher failure rate, but still...).psionic wrote:I've used quiet a few of the high end power supplies and while both of those are fairly quiet at idle, neither are quiet under load.
The FSP 700 with a fan swap would probably be good, but if you are running dual X1900XT's, then you already have plenty of noise--unless of course you swapped out the stock cooling.
Sounds like your demands are mainly on the 12V rails. Both the S12-600 and the Liberty 620 probably deliver enough amperage on the 12V rails.
You mean you can't hear it over the two X1900's, watercooling pump, 4 fans and 4 hard drives? What a surprise.I can't hear it with the side on (under load).
I think he needs to check which forum he's on!jaganath wrote:You mean you can't hear it over the two X1900's, watercooling pump, 4 fans and 4 hard drives? What a surprise.I can't hear it with the side on (under load).
