>>60171147
is this not just a master race seasonic with an evga sticker? my bronze rated seasonic is silent even in an amd system.

Maybe the name should have tipped you off anon.

>>60171283
I'm not a seasonic shill. I can screenshot evga support and post it as proof if you want me to.

>>60171283
G3 is based on superflower's leadex platform IIRC, not seasonic.

>>60171147
Have you tried flipping the ECO switch?

I have the 550W supernova G3 with an overclocked i7-2600K and RX480 and it doesn't do that kind of shit. Do you have the "eco mode" on? Does your PSU take in hot air from inside the case?

>>60171392
>>60171381
Do you people not think I would have flipped the only switch that's not On/Off to see if it makes any difference?

And no it doesn't change anything.

>>60171746
Have proper airflow and/or clearance.

Back to plebbit

>>60172092
I know, I learned my lesson.

>>60172049
Nice canned response.

Corsair RMX series
Not as obscenely expensive as seasonic, extremely good quality and actually silent.

>>60172092
>>60171182
What's wrong with EVGA?

>>60171147
i use the 850 g2. seems pretty good to me. have you tried contacting evga support?

>>60172271
>doesn't even read the OP

>>60172311
oops. still.. that does seem weird. i'm running a [email protected] and an oc'd 980ti and my fan is silent all the time.

>>60171147
Not you again.
Fuck off to plebbit.

Just put a quieter fan on it.

>>60172360
>just void your warranty

>>60172148
Have RM750x. You can't toggle silent/fanless mode and that is worrying, since it gets hot even on relatively low powered hardware (SB-e and 750Ti).
It has a very annoying buzzing sound when the computer is not idling, which negates the whole "silent operation" meme. 10 year warranty and corsair support might be worth it though.
It's also a CWT platform, which isn't the best of things but pretty alright.

>open psu
>splice a control dial into fan wires

What's it like being retarded?

>>60171182
>>60172092
Seriously though, whats wrong with EVGA?

>>60172583
Nothing, Gx/GS series power supplies are made by Super flower and Seasonic who are elite tier manufacturers
They're just shitposting EVGA because of the 1080 VRMs which was not their fault

>>60172455
Huh, I have a 550x running a 6600k + 1060 and it never goes much over room temperature and if the fan ever does spin up I can't hear it. No buzzing or anything of the sort.

>>60171182
fucking this.

never trust EVGA after the shady shit they pulled with their 1080 acx cooler.

Literally housefire and they intentionally skimped on the heatsink surface area to make a higher profit margin, exactly lile Intel Kabylake thermal grease on the internal heatspreader, instead of soldering the IHS like AMD Ryzen does

>>60172256
>>60172583

They literally take OEM parts and slap their logo on it and sell for premium price.

Their AIO liquid coolers are made by Asetek and their power supplies are made by superflower/seasonic, and their RAM sticks are made by SK Hynix or whatever.

Corsair does the same thing, their AIO liquid coolers are made by Asetek and their memory is made by SK Hynix. And then Corsair takes out a massive price premium pn it, exactly like NZXT does

>>60172784
>Literally every company does this
Who should I trust anon??

>>60172784
Asetek are fucking patent trolls
They sued cooler master for the seidon line of AIOs because of "muh monopoly"

Have XFX XTR 650W with 4690k and 980 ti both OCed and I am not even sure if fan spins on that thing

> 750 G2 -> [email protected] and GTX760
no PSU ever...

So what's the best PSU brand?

>>60175096
seasonic

>>60175222
>trips of truth
Thanks mate.

>>60173945
This

Don't fucking buy AMD if you want a quiet system

What's the quietest psu?

>>60172759
I think they wanted to give the illusion that the card is cooler by not cooling the vrm as then the sensor would not pick it up.

>>60171147
Post a picture of your case with the PSU.

Sounds like it is taking in case air not fresh air somehow.

I have a EVGA G2. Never hear the fan.

>>60171182
Lol evgas good go home your drunk

>>60177338
This. I got G2 750 and its dead silent.

>>60177338
I'll post my setup when I get back home from work.

>>60171147
>850w for a system that will never go over 550w
Kek, why would you even spend that much?

To answer your question, Seasonic has fanless units

>>60171147
You should've bought at least 1000w if you wanted it to be silent with those specs.

>>60177823
Cause I'm thinking about adding another R9 390X in crossfire. So add another 320W to your 550W.

You know everyone does this right?
