In the thick of it all most folks don't think about how quiet their PSU is, especially when you have the roar of an athlon system in your in your inventory. Well, Overclockers has reviewed a few that are said to deliver good performance, at minimal noise, read about it here (http://www.overclockers.com/articles540/)

Oh c'mon, you know that shit's totally bull. I totally despise all that thermal control shit and the fan that comes with the PSU. What I do is replace it with a Panaflo 80mm Low, and connect it straight to the mobo fan header. Low noise and kick ass performance. Word. Now where's that damn picture... Well, you get the picture.

i have my quiet , almost brand new enormx power supply, so quiet in fact that the darn fan in the back died, i don't have time right now to be without it, so i had to tape up the rear case fan hole, this psu also has the 120 underneath pulling in, along with that my case has tons of positive pressure that air is being forced out of the power supply with the fan dead, so its running fine, lots of air, god i love positive pressure, so sometime when i get around to it, i'll get it sent back , but hey one less fan, its quieter, :) lurch
