    Has anyone any experience of, or can recommend a silent PSU? I'd ideally like one that is passively cooled that is totally silent but there doesn't seem to be many sites stocking these from what I can see. Also, if I'm sticking my system in something like - http://www3.hardwareversand.de/8VJ7GtfWFR9MAk/3/articledetail.jsp?aid=6409&agid=635, and having a little overclock, then will I have serious heat issues? Has anyone done this?

    Not sure i'd trust a fanless PSU....

    Just go for a good quality quiet one. Tagan or similar

    Thanks for the replies and links lads.
    Yeh that Zalman 850W looks good but is too expensive and overkill for my uses. I might check out the Corsair VX450 on that comparison list. I've got a Tagan 580W and it's always been absolutely rock solid, but now that I want to put it in a small case up on my desk I find that it's the main noise source in my system.

    Corsair HX620 is a pretty darn quiet PSU.

    Have to agree, I have one myself. And its the quietest component in my system. Awesome cables too. Makes it so easy.
