NIM Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 I have a Powerware 5115 UPS which is great, but it's fan is too loud and never goes off.http://powerquality.eaton.com/Products-services/Backup-Power-UPS/5115.aspx?cx=53Can anyone recommend good PSU, similar to the one I have, but if possible, to not have any fans.

5eraph Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 I've been using an APC Smart-UPS 1500 since 2005 (the 120V version). It's not fanless, but the fan does not run all of the time. Even when it's running, it's quieter than my tower so I don't even notice it.It is currently in dire need of a new battery, though. Quote
NIM Posted January 30, 2010 Author Posted January 30, 2010 That's a monster Nice one.Well, the fan shouldn't work always on mine, but for some reason it does. I've talked to my friend yesterday, who runs an UPS maintenance company. Since he only has Eaton products, he will give me 5110 model for testinghttp://powerquality.eaton.com/Products-services/Backup-Power-UPS/5110.aspx?cx=53Also, since EATON bought MGE, this one seems good too:http://powerquality.eaton.com/Products-services/Backup-Power-UPS/Ellipse-MAX.aspx?cx=53I will get the 5110 model next week and the most important thing is that it has AVR which is automatic voltage regulation with buck and boost.

ccl0 Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 those replacement batteries can get expensive Quote
Mr_Smartepants Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 If you don't mind replacing the noisy fan, I've ordered silent fans from http://www.dorothybradbury.co.uk/ several times in the past. Dorothy has been operating her business for many many years and hand picks the fans she sells after extensive testing for noise. If she doesn't have a particular size, she'll either source it for you or recommend another dealer.Awesome service! Quote
