Product Description

Building upon the technology that made our revolutionary Phantom 350 power supply totally silent, the Phantom 500 with Antec's new Hybrid Fan technology, provides awesome power while continuing to offer the user an extremely quiet computing environment. Phantom 500 operates completely silently until its internal temperature reaches a user selected temperature, whereupon the fan turns on to balance high power performance with quiet computing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best power supply out there for SILENCE, October 2, 2006

This review is from: Antec PHANTOM 500 12V 2.0 500W ATX Power Supply (Personal Computers)

I bought this to try and silence my PC (Athlon X2 4800+, 4 WD hard drives, XFX 7900GT). It worked superbly - in 12 months, with the default settings, the fan never came on. The powersupply never got particularly hot - warm (like the bottom of a laptop) but never HOT. So the fan didn't come one.

No power problems at all with this supply - good power on both 12v grounds. Not like my last setup.

Still, it's nice to know that the fan is there to kick in if something were to happen. Kind of like an insurance policy. I'd buy this again if I were building another system, and I've been recommending it to all my friends who custom build.

This model is not fanless. It uses what Antec calls a "Hybrid fan design". Basicly, it allows you to set a temperature at which the fan will come on.
