Hi,
I current have one of these cases :
Envizage MTX-003B Black Mini ITX Case with 300W PSU
The problem is the psu fan is very noisy. Can anyone suggest a new fan for this psu or even better a new itx psu which is silent.
Thanks

I would suggest considering a pisoPSU or a similar power supply.

EDIT: I am talking crap, yeah pico as long as your power draw at full load is less than 90W. Buy from official stockist - there are not many of them. I have a similar issue with my Microserver as the PSU is like a turbo.

I've ordered a PSU for my m350 / DH61AG intel board that's 160W... Is there anything bad with it being over 90W? Was the only compatible adapter at mini-box...

No issues at all, it's just costlier. 90W is more than enough for almost any ITX system and all the picoPSUs can only deal with 65W TDP CPUs max.
Not so absolute for ATX systems... e.g. if you have a few HDDs installed you might need a bigger power pico. You will probably also need an ATX adapter if you're installing in an micro/full ATX board. baldmosher™ Trying to save his marriage with a HTPC Current system: TV unit, 37PFL5405H, Microserver N40L (as HTPC), Xbox360, BDP-S370, FoxsatHD, Azur 540Rv2, Keysonic 540RF, Harmony 300 Planned W7x64 AMD mATX (HT)PC build: Case, PSU, RAM, Mobo, CPU Total £240 + IR + HSF? + SSD? |

How do you know what PSU OP needs without knowing his HTPC spec? What if he have AMD A8-3850 with AMD HD6570 (crossfire)? Just a thought!
