So Ive been asking a bit about my current PSU, which when playing Crysis2 gets LOUD.
I've had a lot of great suggestions for new PSU's to buy, but one thing troubles me- my nice pretty new case.
There really isn't a lot of room over the top of the PSU for the fan to blow, like 3/4 of an inch. So I'm concerned that ANY PSU I get will overheat in there, and I will have spent money for nothing.
What do the experts here think? If I get a more powerful PSU will it have to work less and therefore be cooler? Or if I get one that is just better quality? I thought when I bought this one that it was good quality too, 2 years ago. I am not on a budget for this.
My priorities are QUIET and MODULAR.
Am I going to run into these problems with any PSU or is it totally doable to find one that is quiet in my case at full load? I have 2 extra hard drives and all the fans in the case in addition to the system in my siggie if that is useful...
