My system is in need of a new PSU. I am using one of our spare PSU which is very noisy for my likings.
I have 4 Panaflo 12L fans throttled down to half speed. For my cpu cooler i have a Thermalright SLK-947U Copper HS with a 92mm Ultra Low Speed Panaflo 92mm fan running at full speed. Finally my GPU cooler is an MSI Stock cooler garaunteed to run at less than 15dba.
Is my system quiet enough that i should opt for a Modstream or a Seasonic PSU. Or should i be just as good with a Powerstream. Right now i am using a Thermaltake 420Watt PurePower (I hate it btw).
Basically should i look for the quietest PSU or should i look for a decent one.
My rig is in my sig. My FULL LOAD (Running P95, S@H, Multiple Web Apps, and Games) is 42C for the CPU, and 20C for the case ambient temps are 70F in the Winter and 78 in summer.
As a sidenote i think my DVD-ROM drive is going. I would like a very quiet drive (Im using a generic one right now) can anyone make any recommendations. Right now i like the Asus, or possibly the Lite-On.
