what is the maximum volume level for this PSU (in dB)?
232067
I have not measured the volume in dB, However it is much quieter than the case fans and CPU fans. I currently have it in my workshop in an open air environment, so I never hear the thing. The fan is 140mm I believe, and is controlled by temperature. The intelligent fan control keeps fan noise to a minimum below 45C. Which it never reached, even while mining in the summer. Regardless, it will be a very quiet unit for most applications. Look for the review at Johnny Guru for more info.-buzznut

I can't speak to the actual db level, however this compressor is extremely quiet. I can run it in my basement and not disturb my wife on the next floor up.

This card has a TDP of 115W, thus a PSU of at least 450-500W* would be recommended, leaving some wattage for other components and upgrades. *Standard PSU warning: Watch out for outdated and/or mislabeled PSUs (such as this one: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=324 ) - some PSUs do not deliver their rated voltage, or are rated on their 'peak' output wattage (the wattage they can provide for ~10-50 milliseconds before catastrophically failing)

there are 2 sata connectors on this power supply. They are rather short so if you have a huge case and several drives do not use this power supply. Also this PSU WILL NOT run a high end graphics card, this PSU is meant more for replacing old PSU units in older computers. I would not suggest you use this in a high end gaming or HDPC system!

No. for that level of boost you would have to look at commercial building amplifiers which are more expensive, and rated for higher power. Since dB is a measure of gain and not an absolute power measure - the maximum boost is 15dB.

It's a junk low of the low tier psu, spend the extra money and get a sea sonic or superflower made unit, my cx750 had major coil whine. I now happily own a silent evga g2 850w psu made by superflower.

Would recommend at least a 600wat psu.(Also depending on what else you have in your system)

I measured 86 dB right below my fan on high. Belt drive is supposed to be quieter. Higher quality is quieter too, but much more expensive.

I have a single unit (not overclocked because I don't wan't to void the manufacturer's warranty) powered by a Corsair RM750. It's a well-built, gold certified modular psu with a massive heat sink. I've had it running 24/7 and have had exactly zero issues with it.

120 db as per spec. That probably tells you nothing. What I CAN tell you is that it works fine. Nice loudness.

This isn't an answer to your question, but a warning... I have purchased 4 of these PSUs in the past year or so- 3 of them failed- 2 with a loud bang. I would look around for another manufacturer instead. BTW, I have 7 of the 300 watt Silverstone SFX PSUs and haven't had any failures with them, so the failures just seem to be and issue with the 450watt SFX units. And you should know I'm not running these anywhere near the 450watt rating.

Hey there, the card has been measured around 220 watts by several hardware reviews, this is also close to what the spec says. Now for a PSU overall power you need to check what's in your system overall. Note overclock causes significant overconsumption (upto 280W in some Vmod cases).

will power to max capacity of speakers. 15 watts clean with bigger power-supply. Not going to Rock a night club but more then enough for casual listening.
1683100
I have only installed to 500 watts or more. Probably not enough power from PSU!

users guide says 100W x4 max at 14.4VDC and 1kHz, you'll have to decide if that'll work for your speakers and what you're trying to do with them. My uneducated guess is that this thing will get stressed if pushed to the limits. I'm using it well below max and I'm very happy with it driving 4 computer speakers.

I don't have that particular psu. Why don't you try going to their website or simply google it?

Sorry but I don't know about the dB level. The room I'm using it in is 12x16. I would compare the noise level to that of a fan. To me it just seems like white noise.
