i just got a geeek flex atx psu. I haven't actually used it yet but its modular and GEEEK offers a 2 year warranty. http://www.geeekstore.com/shop/custom-flex-atx-modular-psu/
they also offer customization of your cables and the color. the cables are also slimmer for a smaller case.
I got the 400w but that's cause i have a 1030 don't plan on getting a higher end gpu than a 1060 in the future. Also seems like gpus are becoming more and more efficient.Nice! Did you get the 400w or 600w one?
Also, can you let us know about the quality and loudness, when you have some time?
I got an ENP7660 to test, but not the customized one, the original from Enhance. Would like to know if Geeek really improved it.
Cheers
So finally got to use the 400w psu and holy shit its pretty loud. Not a jet engine (not as bad as the 290) but it was definitely audible from anywhere in the the room, which is jarring when for the last 2 years I haven't really had to deal with that. I don't know what I could do to quiet it, maybe use a funnel and a larger fan? Maybe see if i can get my money back, but unless i use headphones its pretty audible.
do you know any small fans i could get for a flex atx psu thats really quiet? I think they changed the fan and its better than pre built computers but it definitely is audible.Sorry about that. Tbh, I was expecting it already, Delta's Flex-ATX psus are really loud at stock. I think Enhance 7600 series are the only ones with high wattage and acceptable noise right now, unfortunately. I wonder why Geeek got it out from their list, maybe it sold out...

Seems an interesing mod, can you show us some pics?I've been running an FSP400-60FGGBA for over 18 months with its 40mm removed entirely, with a 92mm fan blowing in front in its place, controlled by the PSU. The temperature with the 92mm fan is actually slightly better than it was with the stock fan, when probing the heatsink in the center of the unit. The Enhance units have exhausts rather than intakes, but its probably still viable to ditch the housing altogether. The other issue with 40mm fans is that even if they are low in decibels, their pitch is high and annoying. That said, there's a lot of potential for interesting designs using Flex ATX.
The Geeek 600W doesn't seem to be listed anymore, and the unmodded Enhance is also nowhere to be found.
It's not too interesting, heh. The stock fan is removed, and a 92mm sits behind it:Seems an interesing mod, can you show us some pics?
Yea, it's strange that Geeek unlisted the 600w unit. Enhance 7600 series are the best Flex psus on the market right now, and are also very quiet without any mods. Unfortunately, they only sell it to big orders, or if you contact them directly (I actually have one ENP-7660 stock unit)
