    better in what way?? if you mean quiet try fitting your psu with an extra quiet fan but watch your temps...if you want it close to silent, watercool it :idea:

    I have no idea how to do water cooling so I am leaving that alone!! Eneve though an easy tutorial might help but I am just looking for a good all round PSU which performs well power wise and is not to quiet, SO what do you guys use?

    macron are good
    so are enermax
    and so are sparkle
    and so are the ones that come with chieftech cases....

    anything above 300w should be plenty...

    i use a 300w macron....

    Although I'm pretty happy with my 350 watt Enermax, Sparkle have a great reputation and that is what I would buy next time! You have to watch the Enermax with some M'boards though! I had an Epox 8KHA+ and the 5v line was aweful with the enermax. It's been fine with my Soyo now though, but just be aware!

    I have the quietpc.co.uk 300W PSU, and its silent almost, sounds like u might have a dodgy one!

    E-mail em for a replacement, u have a 12 month warranty with it. i replaced mine after i blew it up :worried: (i said it just stopped working! :hehe: ) Sent it one day recieved a new one by Courier the next. Excellent service! :D

    Its and ADDA fan which is pretty quiet! if u want try a papst/panaflow 80mm or one of the Enermax ones (with noise control) The Quiet PSU should work fine tho! Powering my system amicably (see sig.)
