Can't handle the noise of this FSP anymore, it just cant keep up with the load an stay cool and it compensates by cranking the fans up to the point of making my ears ring.
even at idle, its by far the loudest component in my case, im replacing it ASAP.

The 520W Powerstream will suit your needs. Only if the S12-600W had adjustable pots it would've been nice...

OCZ PowerStream 520W: 1% load regulation, adjustable rails, 5yr warranty & that famous OCZ customer service!
More than enough for highend SLI, too! :toast:

OCZ claims it's <30db under load (23db idle) but, LegitReviews found it generates 40.8 db.
Seasonic claims their PSU generates 21db, SilentPCReviews found it generates around 38db under 400W load (which usually means you gotta be gaming). That's good because I don't care the PSU noise too much when I'm gaming.
