Replacement for TX-750?
Posted: Mon May 09, 2011 1:54 pm
Hi, I just made a new quiet build. Unfortunately my "recycled" PSU is now the loudest component.
I have a Antec P182 with an additional tricool fan in the front-middle. All the fans have been "volted down" from 12 to 7 and then put on low speed - (below my sound requirement).
My system is a 2500k, with a Zalman CNPS 10X Quiet (set to low), MSI 570GTX Twin Frozr, 8 GB ram, an old 7200 rpm 1TB HD and a Crucial C300 SSD 128 GB for OS.
So my question is: Would it make any real difference if I exchanged my Corsair TX-750 with for example an AX-850.
My goal was to make a "great buy" silent computer. I do game from time to time, and it is only when im not gaming that the fan noise bothers me.
FYI I might be able to sell my PSU for 100 USD (3 months old) and buy a new AX-850 for 200 USD - making it an easier decision to upgrade.
Seasonic X seems extremely overpriced (150% vs corsair ax same W) at my place (Denmark), but any other recommendations is appreciated.
Thanks in advance
