What customers say about "Features"
Corsair RM550x Fully Modular Power Supply
  • This Corsair RMx power supply Is absolutely silent when just using my Hackintosh for work stuff.
  • Absolutely no complaints. Modular design allows for cable control.
  • Large fan keeps things cool and runs very quiet.
  • Never had any problems in over a year of in continuous use.
  • The fan doesn't even spin under lower load. When you pull more watts the fan spins up but it is large and quiet.
EVGA SuperNOVA 550 G3 Fully Modular Power Supply
  • The unit I received sounded great in eco mode, literally silent!
  • This is a fully modular power supply.
  • The box has lots of fan power.
  • The power supply is very quiet, I have it installed on top of the desk.
  • This is super quiet, which probably has a lot to do with the Eco mode. Smart cooling is a really nice feature, this should come standard.
