The hipers are good quality/price balance
The mobo will take either a 20 pin or 24 pin atx psu so you have loads of choice

Ive just routed through the bios and the throttling can be turned off.Once the new HSF is installed ill give it another go without the throttling

Ah, that's good as i've been taking a look at some of the Hiper modulars :)

Now, what wattage? lol

I had one of them for a couple of day's and it's bloody useless. It can't live up to the specs they advertise and there's absolute no way you could pull 580W over any extended period of time and the fans are really noisy, who sticks 80mm fans in anything nowadays?

Not surprising as its a 550W PSU.

It should be overkill for what i'll be needing, which is the idea. Not stressing it out too much.

I still use 80mm Fans, never used anything else (aaprt from the 92mm one cooling my CPU on my Zalman)

Try reading it again ... it's 580W and it has two fans, 1 x 120mm and an 80mm exhaust which is far too noisy, if I can hear my PC then it's too loud.

Heh, i knew that... What made me think 550 there :S Strange.

Most of the reviews done by big places seem to point to it being a decent PSU as well. Probably still get one, the PC i have is noisy, but i have music on contsantly, so it never bothers me :) Plus, i come to expect it what with OC'ing alot.

Anything else you'd suggest?

Seasonic, Tagan, Enermax, Antec & OCZ, in that order. The PSU is the most important part of your system, if it blows then you risk taking the CPU & motherboard with it so it's definately not worth scrimping over.

I've blown 3 in my computing life, never done any other damage. So, i must be lucky.

Looking into alternatives now, and i'm also skimming the web for reviews as well.

Too noisey? Not likely. I have a 480W Tagan and it has 2x 80MM fans (one at the back and one at the front). They're completely silent, temperature controlled based on the heatsink temperature inside the actual PSU (this PSU is usually at 400W load 24/7 since my CPU uses 135W on it's own :erm: ).

We're talking about the 580W PSU, and I certainly didn't sit here and imagine the noise it's fans made :rolleyes:

And? Do you really think you're pulling 580W from it?
