Re: What is lowest noise in Power Supplies?

Get a 400 Watt PS with a thermal fan controller, it will run
cooler. Get a quality power supply from a name brand
supplier.
Liquid cooling is for the CPU, and other components,
including the hard drive.

Re: What is lowest noise in Power Supplies?

Have you considered having the PC in another room, or a cupboard that can be
cooled as well? You can remote the monitor, mouse, keyboard, and even a CDR
and floppy drive. With an LCD monitor, and just the essentials on a desk, it
makes a nice clean area to work.

Re: What is lowest noise in Power Supplies?

That would be a great idea but not for me. The next room is the formal
living room.

The computer sits under the specially designed computer desk and I insulated
with acoustic tiles the sides and top of the little "cubbyhole" meant for
the computer.

It is not a very loud noise, rather a constant low hum, but noticeable
nevertheless. Even with the TV on nearby.

Buy a Bose headset with noise canceling.

Re: What is lowest noise in Power Supplies?

Got it, but too cumbersome to wear all the time.
I was thinking of the NEXUS NX3500, 350 Watts PS with 120 mm fan. Anybody
have this one?

Re: What is lowest noise in Power Supplies?

The big fans are quieter. Dirt on the fan blades makes
noise, keep it clean.
