New Antec TRUE power supply

Bought a new ANTEC TRUE 330 watt power supply, got it today, running my 1.8A at 2.4GHz. QUIET and smooth. Replaced an Enermax and glad I did.

Just thought some of you would like to know these power supplies seem to be equal to Antec's claims. Nice!

I can't find the exact amperage stats on this anywhere it seems. However I do like the idea of the "fan only" outputs that can thermally control all your case fans too.

How much did that set you back (google's not being to helpful here)

EDIT: here it is:


+5V
-5V
+12V
-12V
+3.3V

1.0A
28.0A*

Ripple V(p-p)

* +5V, +3.3V & +12V maximum output 310 Watts max.

That's always obnoxious how they call a 310 watt a 330 :-/

Just how much quieter are we talking here?

I've got an Enermax 330W in my current case and it seems plenty quiet to me.

I know its a bit extreme, but could you perhaps post up a small mp3 of each power supply turned on so we can hear what the noise is like?

I went to Antec's site trying to find some noise level specs but couldn't find anything, of course Enermax's site has none either.

How long are the cables in the Antec PSU? How many connectors and of what types? Were the connectors gold-plated?

I'm just curious how much quieter we are talking here and if its quantitative enough to be worth the extra money. I also wonder about how a quiet PSU will be when you've got a much louder CPU fan/heatsink cooler running anyways (god I hate how loud my Delta is).
