Quietest SLI Power supply

[tonyou]

According to NVIDIA, there are only four power supplies in the world currently certified for SLI.

The quietest one is the Enermax

"Certified for SLI" and "capable of SLI" are totally different things. The latter means that that a PSU can provide the juice necessary to power two 6XXX cards; the former means the manufacturer has struck a cooperative marketing deal with nVidia.

...& in this case, certified for SLI = capable of SLI. Not that you'd need a "SLI certified" PSU for SLI to work.

That's what I was getting at. Any PSU with enough juice, especially on the 12v rail, will be able to power an SLI system. Even a high quality 430W unit should do the trick (though I wouldn't bank on it). nVidia's just making a couple bucks on the side by officially "declaring" SLI PSUs.

I bought a 550W TruePower 2.0 on Monday, two days before I found out about this deal. Bah!

Powerstream 600, best PSU for the money IMO.
