[QUOTE="jawbroken, post: 38250, member: 14372"] If I remember correctly, it does not work this way. Power supplies have an efficiency "sweet spot" and operating at well under their power limit can mean it runs less efficiently (ie produces more heat) than a "smaller" power supply operating at closer to its maximum. You are probably just best going with a power supply that is known to be quiet anyway. I don't know much about Antex, but I have heard good things about the Zalman noiseless 400W and 460W power supplies. [/QUOTE]
