PSU advice needed

Krazy Owl · Jun 23, 2012, 05:47 AM

Hi. I'm looking for a psu smaller as possible with 2 X 80mm fans opposite side each other. Not the model that you have one on the side and one on the top....really 1 each side but opposite left-right .

Around 600w max to fit on the setup under my avatar and leave place for further upgrade on my video card.

Around 60$ if possible and could be an older model I dont care.

Thx.

Something like this?

hec ACE-580UB 580W ATX12V SLI Certified CrossFire ...
COUGAR DX600 600W ATX SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80...

The fan is centered on one side. What I need is that the fan on the wire side is opposite of wire because on my HTPC the psu will suck the air from the HDD mounted right near the psu.

Maybe this : APEVIA ATX-AS680W-BL 680W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Read...

Or you can browse yourself : Computer Hardware, Power Supplies, 80mm

No point in having 2 fans on a PSU, especially for a htpc (more noise). Grab any PSU from Enermax, Seasonic, Corsair etc., I'd stay away from Antec.

I was going to say why?

Krazy Owl · Jun 23, 2012, 11:59 AM

I have 2 cm between the psu and the hhd drive. I want to use this proximity to suck the hot air from hdd adn throw it out by using the psu.

Hm.. Looking at your case (PGS Aerocool Qx-2000), I think there will be enough fresh air coming from the front if you install any 60mm fan to cool your hard drive.

60mm is easier to find : 60mm fan

Or you already install those 60mm fan and still experiencing high temp on your hard drive?

The front 60mm is a joke since in front of it there the panel for buttons. Mo real vent there so in fact it sucks the air from below but below theres the 120mm fan .
