FAQ
- “Do higher powered power supplies cost more to run because they consume more power?”
- “I just bought an Ultra-Quiet power supply and I can't get it to work. Is it faulty or am I doing something wrong?”
- “Why should I buy a whole new replacement power supply when I could just replace the noisy fan in my existing power supply?”
- “Can I use the Ultra-Quiet power supplies with a non-Athlon PC?”
- “How do I know what wattage power supply I need?”
- “My new PSU came with a 24-pin connector but my motherboard needs 20 pins! Do I need an adaptor cable?”
Modular Quiet Gaming Edition PSUs with 135mm fan
 | 1000W Modular Quiet Gaming Edition PSU with 135mm fan [17 in stock] | €167,47 | |
| 750W Modular Quiet Gaming Edition PSU with 135mm fan [5 in stock] | €111,64 |
These Gaming Edition PSUs from Xilence are a little different to the other Xilence PSUs that we stock. The most obvious difference is the fact that these PSUs are modular. Modular power supplies are great because you only need to use the power cables your system actually needs. This prevents a clump of cables being tied up from your power supply that you have no intention of using. This makes the install very tidy indeed!
Just like the other 700W and 800W Xilence PSUs, the 750W and 1000W module power supplies incorporate a 135mm fan. This provides excellent airflow to the internal components of the PSU without any excessive noise. In fact the noise level of the PSUs starts from a mere 20 db(A).
The power supplies are packed with connectors! The 750W PSU has four PCI-E, six hard drive Molex, two floppy and four SATA connectors. If that is not enough then the 1000W has six PCI-E, seven hard drive Molex, one floppy and a massive 12 SATA connectors. On both of the power supplies the PCI-E connectors incorporate two extra pins, making them PCI-E 8-pin. These connectors are used on ATI's new HD 2900XT graphics card. This means you can run two HD 2900XT in Crossfire mode and not have to worry whether you have the right connectors.
6/8-pin PCI-E connector
The final feature that deserves a mention is that there are two small 3-pin sockets available on the PSU. The socket labelled "Fan", allows for the supplied "case fan power" cable to be attached. This provides an additional three 3-pin fan headers. The second socket labelled "detector", is for a cable that connects to an available 3-pin fan header on the motherboard to allow the user to monitor the RPM of the PSU fan. This cable does not power the fan, it is only a monitoring tool.
Installation Guide
For those customers not familiar with modular power supplies we thought it would be best if we provide a few pointers as to where each cable is connected.
PCI-E Connectors
The PCI-E are the most straight-forward cable to attach. The red coloured plugs fit into the red coloured sockets labelled "PCI-E". When all four connectors have been attached you will have two black 6/8-pin connectors and two red 6-pin connectors all labelled PCI-E ready to be attached to the graphics card/s.
SATA and Molex/Peripherals Connectors
The SATA cables connect to any of the three sockets labelled "SATA" and the Molex connectors connect to the remaining two sockets labelled "Peripheral". We hope the wiring diagrams below will help, just click to enlarge.
