What's the reference quiet PSU nowadays?

[Fryguy8]

Is seasonic still among the leaders for good/quiet PSUs? I'm trying to build a quiet-as-possible development server (socket A based, pretty low-end, will just be housing a development sql server and version control)

Pretty much.

Yea, Seasonic is usually about as quiet as it gets. But Zalman has a new PSU that came out that's supposed to be really quiet also. Maybe you could check out a review or two. BTW, Zalmans are OEMed by FSP.

Quiet is in the eye of the beholder. I have the new Corsair HX620. It's supposedly one of the quietest. The fan is dead silent. The actual PSU on the other hand hums. I can hear that over my three 120mm fans (all pretty much silent).

Seasonic. Check out SPCR for details on their testing. (at SPCR everyone has pretty much the same stuff: Seasonic, in a p180 or 150 or solo, nexus fans, zalman chipset cooler, scythe ninja)
