Review: Thermaltake Silentpower 480w Powersupply

Another Thermaltake product, I know some people don't like them, but I've had good experience with their smartfans, I decided, 350w on a raidmax generic wasn't cutting it..

I ordered a Thermaltake 480w silent,
(over the antec 480w silent)

its a nice heavy PS, lots of plugs (9 regular, a wrapped mobo plug, a serial (i believe) etc), good length on plugs [3 short strand, a medium strand of 3, and a long strand of 3]

and once again, either thermal control, or 5.25" or PCI slot fan control... i used a 5.25 bay..

good solid output, nice orange fans, a good amount of plugs with good length,

quick and easy install, just undo 4 screws of the old one, unplug, and put 4 screws in the new one.

Sound: its quiet, on low its unhearable, on medium its still just a little noise, just a blowing of output (its not raspy or anything), and on high there is a good amount of hum (once again, run this fan at medium unless you're flushing your system

Conclusion: There are plent of powersupplies... I picked this because of solid output, good amount of plugs, and fan control, i was not disappointed.

Thanks for the info.
are you being 1) serious 2) telling me to stop doing reviews 3)Data


I was gonna do a series, maybe it would catch on and there would be a lot, it would help people pick out new parts, I would find that useful

[ 3 ] :D

I'm not really sure why you're giving us hardware reviews, but I'm sure somebody will find them useful. Carry on. :bandit:

well, this this TW TECH, any reviews would get buried in general forums, and I'm always looking for reviews before i buy a new Hardware piece.. If i could get reviews from regular people all the better..

others: maybe a mobo, some case fan reviews, new lite-on 52x burner
and a refurb monitor review (comng wednesday)

cool beans

i like'em so far skibbi

from my pov, it doesn't hurt to know more about stuff
