Very stupid name .

>be quiet!
Are you telling me to be quiet?
DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!
REEEEEEEEEE

>530W
is this a joke?

Tier 5 trash?

>tfw cheap tier three psu

Yolo

Tier three is not bad. Just don't do anything like OC or using high tdp GPU/CPU.

>tfw fell for the EVGA meme
Kill me.

Why is EVGA a meme

Housefires

How

>buying a power supply from any brand that isnt seasonic

don't you fags understand that if a psu isn't made by chinks its shit?

google.com/#q=evga exploding

I use an Thermaltake ATX SMART 550W for three years now and had no problems. Am i going to hell for this?

that's graphics cards not PSU's

>their graphics cards spontaneously explode
that's a brand I'd trust with powering my computer

How does a GPU explode or combust? They had to be messed with somehow.
EVGA makes great PSUs and people vouch for that.

Well, there was that Nvidia GPU that could exceed its power specs by far in some situations and blow the VRMs if the card manufacturer hadn't overengineered them at least a bit.

>fell for the seasonic meme
>bought M12II
>fan sounds like a turbine at idle
>loudest component in case
>mfw everyone else has the same issue
Never buying seasonic again. I'd rather get some semi-decent chink internals and an excellent fan / fan profile than the other way around. Seasonic might make good internal components but they don't seem to care about anything else.

For reference:

My first EVGA 850W Platinum G2 power supply lasted 5 weeks. The replacement lasted 1 hour.

Returned it and got a Corsaid RM850. Working nonstop for months now.

You're the cunt who made that thread a few days ago?
>buys a bronze tier 3 trash psu
>wonders why it's shit
>saving money on the most important component
Kill yourself.

I doubt its the fan itself thats the problem but rather the controller. Most PSUs use the same generic fans.

>his PSU doesn't have a fluid dynamic bearing fan

Xfx pro master race

It was "bronze tier trash" that cost more than all the other "gold tier" options. I specifically paid more to get a seasonic because everyone else shilled them so hard. People were claiming it was bronze but it was at the top end of bronze, and the components were much higher quality than all the other cheap gold power supplies so it was worth it.
PSU efficiency just seems like marketing anyway.

Yeah, it probably is the controller but the end result is the same.

>34500 hours
Is that supposed to impress me? I have Antec Earthwatts 650's that have double that.

Magnet bearing über alles

I have some generic chinkshit psu from a prebuilt that has worked for over 13 years.

You didn't research your purchase at all. Seasonic with the exception of the semi-passive gold/platinum/titanium units is well known for having loud fans.

Loud by quiet PC standards anyway.

>XFX XTR
>seasonic rebrand but better

I did research, I just didn't pay attention to dB measurements because I was prioritising performance over noise. None of the reviews I looked at mentioned it being exceptionally loud, and I just assumed that being a brand so highly regarded there wouldn't been any major issues with it.

Yeah, this'll probably be what I buy next time, either that or one of Corsair's high end models with the idle fan at low load.

>not getting fanless seasonic for single cpu/gpu build
are you retarded or something?

>buying meme fanless PSU
>ever

You mean the ones that cost £150? Out of my budget at the time.
I don't have an issue with fans, just loud ones.
My ideal setup would probably be a fanless PSU and GPU along with some quiet case fans so I have full control over the fans and profiles, so that's what I'll probably do when this build starts showing it's age.

So you're saying you didn't do research?

Noise isn't an issue, the PSU is loud because it's designed to keep cool. Now, if you actually did research you'd know that you want a quiet PSU and you would not buy a 10 year old cheap Bronze unit that is known for not being targeted at quiet PC enthusiasts.

Speaking of which
>it was at the top end of bronze
Not really. It's a high end Bronze unit but not top end. And most of the top end Bronze PSUs are known for being obnoxiously loud. Every single one I remember is loud as shit. Bequiet and Nexus have high end Bronze unit for quiet PC enthusiasts, but back in those days people didn't particularly care for noise so these aren't the norm. Most quiet Bronze PSUs are new units, which are universally low end.
