Cute!
This is a cute little PSU, bought it in error as I thought it said it was for mATX not an actual mATX PSU. Who cares though! its tiny and really useful.
Does any one know what cases are compatable with this PSU? I'm having a hard time find any. Might as well put it to use.
Excellent & Quiet
os:
Windows XPUnbelievable. My one is as quiet as a mouse and has plenty of connectors. It is possibly the quietest PSU I have and I have 12 computers in the house.
RE: Plenty of power
If price is not an issue, I would strongly recommend a 'Silenx IExtrema 400 Watt Micro ATX PSU' which has a noise rating of 14db!! and all the connections you could possibly want, at this level it is pretty much silent!
mATX PSUs
Quality mATX PSUs are hard to come by. I'd recommend you look at this though, http://www.enermax.com/english/product_Display1.asp?PrID=36 which is quiet (80mm temp controlled fan), has a higher rating on the +12V rail (20A) and is readily available.
Enermax also do a higher rated one than this http://www.enermax.com/english/product_Display1.asp?PrID=68 but I don't think it's avaialble in the UK.
Plenty of power
os:
Windows VistaBought this to power my newly built micro entertainment pc. Plenty of power and connections for what I neeeded but is very noisy for such a cute little unit! This lets it down big time for me but there really isn't much choice out there for M-ATX psu's. If anyone knows of a 'silent' micro psu out there please let me know!
very noisy
os:
Windows XPIts a good psu with 2xfans that kicks out a lot of air but its very noisy .
no good for my media center. so still looking for a micropsu
4 pin ATX power
is a 4 pin mobo power connector enough to run a mATX mobo that has an 8 pin mobo connection?
specs: 65w celeron dual core
and xfx 630i board
If you want silence, try this...
Don't get this one - get ebuyer's other microATX PSU (125004). Yes it's more expensive, no it doesn't produce as much power, BUT it does have a larger fan. A larger slower moving fan will generate less noise than a smaller faster moving fan (both providing the same amount of air flow).
IF YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A GO AT THE FOLLOWING, THEN PLEASE BE VERY VERY CAREFUL!!!
BEFORE YOU OPEN UP YOUR PSU, LEAVE IT UNPLUGGED FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS - AND DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO!
For my media centre (diskless netbooting machine on LinuxMCE), I then replaced the PSU's fan with an AcoustiFan of the same size, and I'm telling you, it is virtually inaudible. I'm also using the Scythe Shuriken (148079), and that is it - no other fans are needed. When replacing the fan, you'll probably want to solder it in as it's a little bit tight for terminal blocks. Or alternatively (this is what I have done), just run the fan's cable out with all of the other PSU cables, and plug it into a spare position on the motherboard. This way, you can monitor the fan's speed, and, if you're feeling very brave, reduce the fan's speed.
If you are going to do this, then DO NOT leave the computer unattended whilst the PSU fan is running at reduced speed.
