i was wondering which power supply was better in terms of noise and cooling...do you guys think that the silenx450 psu gets hot cuz it is made so quiet? Cuz if it does get that hot...i would rather just sacrifice like 6db to get a better cooled pcpcooling psu. Do you think 400 watts will be enough for an amd64 3200 with a x800 pro? thanks.
 
well...im tryin to make my new rig silent...and i have no idea how quiet the truepowers are...(are they really even that quiet?) im tryin to look for a silent psu that has around 450+ watts or so...or do you guys think 400 watts is enough for

10k rpm raptor hdd
7200 rpm wd hdd
5 silenx fans
x800 pro
thermalright sp97
amd64 3200
512 ocz eb 3700
case- cooler master praetorian
vga silencer rev 3
audigy 2 zs soundcard and bay drive
dvd+-rw/cdrw combo drive

My new power supply is a 460w akasa unit, its feels very good quality and comes with black easy-fit power connectors. It uses a 120mm fan which is 18db at normal load (thats almost noiseless). <A HREF="http://www.akasa.co.uk/spec/power_supplies/spec_ak_p460fg_bl.htm" target="_new">http://www.akasa.co.uk/spec/power_supplies/spec_ak_p460fg_bl.htm</A>
