Quietest 500-600 watt PSU
Was thinking about the HX520w but is there an option that is quieter around the same wattage??
noise being the number 1 priority in a PSU for me

so....
ive decided the Nexus 430 should be ok for me...
ive got a q6600, 8gb ddr2 sdram, two hd's (80gb & 400gb), 111d dvdr drive and will be upgrading the graphics card soon (probs to a 512mb ddr 3) but not sure what model yet (ill be looking in the forums for that in a sec)
im guessing i wont have a problem with this supply??
only really use the pc for streaming video, music, the interweb, however i might use it for some gaming (but not a lot)
only problem is i can't find anywhere that sells it in the uk!!!! the nexus website says it has 4 uk distributors but only one of them has it and its notin stock!
my pc sounds like a hovercraft!!
i really want a nice silent supply for an ok price
if anyone can reccomend any other supplys though it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!
p.s - anyone used any of the other nexus psu's?? any good??

Will the Nexus 430 be ok for me too? If not I was going to go for the Enermax Modu82+ 625W.
My rig will be either of the following Intel CPU's Q6700 or 6600 or Q8200
fairly standard dvd rw
2x sata hdds
1x external hdd
4gb ddr2 800mhz mem
and I think ASUS P5N7A-VM motherboard (built in graphs and sound)
For general use mostly with a bit of media (hd/blu ray) and maybe a game every now and then (not all the time).

I think your system at most may draw 150W from the wall socket if you don't plan on overclocking or overvolting CPU. 625W is too much for such a low-end system in terms of 3D performance.stephentw wrote:Will the Nexus 430 be ok for me too? If not I was going to go for the Enermax Modu82+ 625W.
