Any info on these Seasonic?

[Ravenor]

Greetings,

I looking to replace my wife power supply and I am working on a budget. I know Seasonic make reliable high-end PSU's but i can't find too much info on these. Have any of you guys sued them before? Is it Quiet(she wants it really quiet)?

Canada Computers | Power Supplies | Seasonic SS-600ET 600W 80 PLUS BRONZE Power Supply - OEM/BULK 3YR.MFG.WARRANTY

500-600 watt is the range im looking for but under $100.00. Any positive feedback would be appriciated.

If she want really quiet, then drop a few more bucks and get this one: Canada Computers | Power Supplies | Seasonic X-560 Fully Modular 80PLUS Gold 560W PSU (SS-560KM Active PFC F3).

The fan will not spin unless 50% load is achieved. That's the PSU I use in my Wife's rig. And a happy Wife is a happy (husband) Life.

I've had the SS-600ET until recently. It's a decent power supply for the price but there are surely better ones out there even at few dollars more. I would agree with 3.0charlie or try this guy below:

Seasonic S12II 520W EPS12V 20/24PIN ATX Power Supply Active PFC 80+ Bronze 6+8PIN PCI-E W/ 120MM Fan - Seasonic Electronics - S12II 520

I'm a big fan of Seasonic power supply and this was one of my favorite although I wasn't aware about the X-560's fan not spinning unless 50% load or higher.

I use the S12II in my file server, and I can hear the PSU fan over the HDD chatter.

Get the X560. You won't regret it.

Rosewill's Capstone units are currently leading the budget segment. They're based on SuperFlower Golden Green platform, which's used in NZXT Hale90 units. Shoot for the Capstone 550. It's better than the X-560 as well. It runs cooler, has comparable performance and sells for cheaper.

NZXT HALE82-series PSU's are all basically rebranded Seasonic M12 II models.

You can pick these up pretty cheap when they have both IR + MIR at some retailers.

X-560 / X- 660 / X - 760 will not spin their fan up to 30% of the rated load in well ventilated case. At 50% of the load on 560, there is at least 30W worth of heat to be dissipated from PSU. That will require fan.
