I think this will be my next PSU for my HTPC case. Sounds very good.
I wanted to kick out my old Noname PSU in any way, as it is getting too loud.
Now I read, that even efficiency is very interesting in new PSU's.
over 80%, thats great, I do not want to know, how less efficiency my noname has......
Thanks for the Review and the informations guys.
