1. If you were building a PC and were putting the PSU in a case where it would never be seen, would you spend the extra money to get a retail over the OEM, or save the $ and use the OEM? Why?
2. What about OEM fans? Are they noisier (run different RPM, or speed up earlier under load etc, or are the fans of a lower quality, etc)
Thanks again everyone |
1) Depends on your budget. If you're trying to save money, go with one of the OEM models. I have an SS-400ET running in another rig and it's a perfectly good PSU.
2) The fan controllers are probably configured to favour lower temperatures rather than low noise, but they are still very quiet.

Newegg and NCIX both sell a few models, and there are probably plenty of other retailers who do as well.
