Topic: Next level upgrade - fanless PSU for your Pianoteq setup
I was under impression that my recent PC was relatively quiet. I always payed attention to more "silent" components, such as fans and HDD's.
After my recent PSU (power supply unit) start dying, I bought myself a fanless one. I also disabled my couple of HDDs. So it is the only one CPU fan at a very low speeds in the system. The results are impressive. The loudest thing I can hear now - it happen that one of my PC displays have a noise-buzz, never heard it before. Previously I would consider 2.5 HDD as being virtually silent to me, now I hear it LOUD.
Would definitely recommend anyone looking for a boost for their Pianoteq setups to get a fanless PSU for their PCs (and to get rid of their HDDs). I would recommend these two models:
http://www2.seasonic.com/product/platinum-400/ - it is what I got, a choice for those who may need (any modern) dedicated GPU in their setups.
http://www.streacom.com/products/nano160-fanless-psu/ - for any (reasonable) setups without a dedicated GPUs.
There are also another fanless PSU choices from both Seasonic and Streacom.
I consider this upgrade for myself as having almost the same significance as getting a 'pro' soundcard
