I wish to make my htpc as noiseless as humanly possible, and currently the loudest part is the psu. Which has a proprietary design since the computer is a barebone. So standard form factor PSU won't fit not even an SFX. So the only way I can replace it is if the new psu is external or very small.
I've found this:
ZF240 Fanless 240W ZeroFlex PSU
But will it be enough for an X79 with a E5-2670@ stock, a GT1030 passive video card, and 4x3TB wd green HDDs ?
In theory it should be, but I wouldn't place any bets.
CPU:110W
VGA: 30W
HDD: 40W
RAM: 10W
That adds up to about 190W plus 10% overhead = 210W peak power draw in theory.
What say you? Or can you recommend another noiseless external or small psu?
