Hey guys, my 1st post here, i'm hoping for some advice on my PSU upgrade.
As you can see in my sig i have the BFG 800w at the moment and it was fine until i went SLI with a 2nd BFG 8800GTX OC. Suddenly it sounds like a jet engine lol. I guess with my OC system and the 2nd GC i am asking it to run at 80%+ and the fan is noisy as hell.
I have been looking at these PSUs. I want it to be as quiet as possible. At asome future date I'm going to WC my system and so i need a future proof PSU in terms of wattage and silence.
Coolermaster Real Power 1000w Modular Power Supply £152.74 (ignore prices really as i can find slightly cheaper elsewhere)
Zalman ZM1000-HP Heatpipe Cooled 1000W Modular PSU £140.99
Thermaltake ToughPower 1000W Modular Power Supply £170.36
OCZ ProXStream 1000w SLI Ready ATX2 Power Supply £156.26
Gigabyte ODIN PRO 1200W ATX2.2 Quad-SLi Compliant Modular PSU £166.84
I like the idea of modular as i like to keep air moving around my case. My personal pref is to go for the Zalman 1000w but if anyone has any suggestions please I'm all ears!
Cheers
