#965 - SilverStone Nightjar 450W Zero dBA Fanless PSU

CHECK PRICES: http://3dgameman.pgpartner.com/

"The NightJar Fanless PSU series is available in two flavors, 300W and 450W. I'll be reviewing the Nightjar 450W Zero dBA Fanless Power Supply (SST-ST45NF) which peaks at 500W and this is more than enough power for a HTPC or a silent gaming build. This PSU uses solid state Capacitors which results in cleaner more reliable power than cheap capacitors found in many other PSUs on the market. The housing is made from thick aluminum and it acts as a heastink since this PSU does have a fan to keep it cool. It also has plenty of ventilation holes, but it's crucial to have excellent case ventilation to insure this PSU gets adequate cooling. Watch the video to find out more." ~3dGameMan.com

any psu with or without a fan would be silent in this situation,

you need to connect the leads to the motherboard before the psu will turn on, DOH!

[3DGAMEMAN]

Nope, all you need to do is jump the green and black on the 20/24 pin motherboards lead.

"Have a listen to a zero decibel power supply it's obviously completely silent!"

Best quote from Rodney.

LOL, have a listen at a 0 db power supply =))

[meade9166]

not really 0 db's,cause the transformer makes a noise too

[marcusmw007]

@njaffar

people can still hear 0 db!

[iRiselyTech]

@danielghofrani transformers are 2 coils of wire with electricity jumping between them. Thats the hum you hear. Power supplies use capacitors, resistors, MOSFET's etc etc, which instead of making a noise, generate heat

@danielghofrani Possibly because it's 1: Not that big, and 2: Not actually using THAT much power? o.o

[danielghofrani]
