The quietest 350W for an NF7-S... Suggestions ??

[ZR]

Looking for suggestion for the quietest 350W Power Supply for my NF7-S.

Price is of course a factor too...!!

Any and all advise is welcome.

I know its not 350 watts, but I'm using a 330 watt Antec TruePower with my NF7-S. Very quiet supply. The quality of the supply makes up for it not being 350 watts.

I'm running the following with my 330 Truepower'

AthlonXP 1900XP - 192 fsb x 9 (1729Mhz)
512 Megs DDR (384 Mhz)
Geforce 4200 -128megs OC 325/650
1 7200 30 gig Maxtor hard drive
1 5400 8 gig Maxtor hard drive
1 32x CDROM
1 52X LiteOn CD-RW
Floppy drive
Hercules Game theater XP sound card
6-80mm various cfm case fans
1-80mm Tornado fan on my cpu heatsink

I'm not using an NF7 but I do have a true power 330. Very quiet. Includes a variable voltage temperature controlled fan power lead for case fans that can really reduce case noise. I have 4 fans running off of their fan power lead. Most of all Tom's hardware torture tested a number of power supplies some of which could not put out their rating. The true power 380 put out 471.

Another vote for Antec, usually a little more expensive but always high quality. I'm using an Antec Sonata case which includes the new TruPower 380S, with only a single fan that is temp regulated -- it's the quietest thing in the box ;>)

The "S" model is available separately and is highly recommended if silence is golden to you.

I use an Enermax 450, slightly more than your spec, but nice and quiet. It operates with 2 fans, one being a 90mm size that only runs when case temps start to climb over 30C. This fan also runs at low rpm >1500.

My computer runs at 52DB although I have a total of 5 case fans (not including 2 in power supply) Prior to focusing upon bringing down the noise level, my computer ran at 72DB.

Hope this helps.
