Yup. And the Corsair CX430 V2 is the same style. Most of those also scale the fan speed to the temperature so when it's not working hard, it's very quiet. I really like the power supply reviews at http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/ They actually load test! And tear it down to see how it's built. It was from them I decided on the Corsair as my current best-choice power supply. -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
