Need PSU

[DeathClock]

Im going to buy the following stuff:
*512MB x 2 (1GB) PC3500 DDR CL2.5 (OCZ EB Platinum Series)
*AMD Athlon 64 FX-53 (S939, 2.4GHz, 1MB, Boxed)
*Gainward GeForce 6800 Ultra PowerPack Ultra2600 Golden Sample (256MB)
*MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum, nForce 3 Ultra (Sound, LAN, SATA-RAID, 1394)
*Nexus Breeze (350W)
*Western Digital 36GB (Raptor WD360GD, 10.000rpm, 8MB, SATA)
*Western Digital 73GB (Raptor WD740GD, 10.000rpm, 8MB, SATA)

But i still need an other PSU, caus the one in the case has 350Watts and thats not enough for me. Has someone got an idea for a good and silent PSU? It has to be one from this website: http://www.tweakers.net/pricewatch/cat/212/top
Because i live in Holland and don't want to buy it from the States or something. Please help.

The power supply in that case is pretty healthy, at 16a on the 12+ line, you maybe close to the limit though, but it would probably work.

I'll look trough the list later, and see what I would get.

I'd go with an Antec powersource or enermax. OCZ makes good power as well. Don't skimp on power. That's all I'm saying.

heya Deathclock;

I own two Antec 430w True Power, and I have been very happy with them.
With todays high demand for power a True Power 350w or higher is needed, i always try and excede recommended requirements, so i recommend 410w of continuous power or better, how much more you want to excede the recommended wattage is up to you.

 

[DeathClock]

And how much noise does that Antec 430 make in dB? Because i want to keep my pc as noise free as possible. The standard 350w gives 19.2dB, and there's a 400w from Nexus aswell which creates only 16.2dB of noise, would 400watts be enough?

I've had my best results with Crucial Ballistix, I can run their PC4000 at 2-2-2-5 PC3500 speed, and it's programed 2.5-3-3-8 at PC4000.

The NX4090 PSU would be plenty of power. Becareful though, and make sure you get a 4090, as their regular 4000 is not really any better than the 350 watt that comes with the case (powerwise).

Remember that watts really isn't the important number (Its sort of like mhz myth, yes it is important, but itsn't the most important). What you are looking for is the amount of amps.

You want silent, you want power.....hmmm okay let me think for a second.......Ok heres 2 options

1) Zalman 420Watt 20 Dbs to 30 DB's
2) Tagan. Can't remember the specs but there better then Zalman and a bit quiter to.

JeanLuc, I think that powersupply he mentioned is worth looking at, NX4090 PSU. It's nuts, two seperate 12V+ lines, both that put out some serious amps, really got me looking at it pretty hard now.

Going to have to find out what Crashman thinks about it first though, before I buy something like that, as I haven't really heard much about Nexus at the moment.

"Nexus Technology BV was established in 2000 in the Netherlands by a group of experts on heat conductivity and noise reduction in the computer industry. The founders have build up an in depth knowledge and experience on heat conductivity issues and thermal characteristics by working closely with many of the larger pc manufacturers for several years"

So thats why most people don't know them (yet).

So I take it they are pretty good quality? Second I wonder if I can get them here in the US without paying a fortune?
