    This a good powersupply

    The Thermaltake TR2 470w



    I want to know if its powerful enough to handle my pc (see signiture below)

    Here is its rails:
    +3.3V@22A, +5V@32A, +12V1@14A, +12V2@15A, -12V@0.3A, +5VSB@2A

    If not i could get the 500w version but thats a bit on the pricy side

    Before any of you ask whats wrong with my current PSU the fan is damaged somehow and it makes this extremely irritating rattling/buzzing noise and im sick of it so im getting a new one

    Edit* i wrote the wrong title should be "is this a good powersupply?"*

        price of a new, decently high-powered, reliable psu: $100

        price of a new, decently quiet, reliable fan: $8

        why not swap out the fans instead of the whole psu? only two wires--ground and power (possibly a resistor, depending). no soldering required if you clip/fasten the wires instead of cutting the old fan out completely back to the terminal.

        then again, i understand that folks are sometimes risk-averse when it comes to their gaming rigs.

          Actually im not entirely sure its the fan when i put pressure on the powersupply towards the motherboard it shuts up when i let go the annoying high pitched rattling continues

          All the back screws are tight as hell but it might be rattling agiainst the case

          So what do you people think is the problem?

          Well you live in america so buying from you would be a bit difficult especially with different currencies ive bought from the USA before for example my graphics card is from san diego but its just more problems than its worth
