lol angel makes me sound like a girl i really should change name.

anyway i read a few more reviews and antec is the bestfor voltages and tempratures it also helps my other case fans be speed controlled. the akasa does not do this.

ur NOT a girl?

jk.

vb said yesterday in another thread that the antec has a speed controller that can control all fdans in your case. that would be helpful.

The Antec has a thermal sensor (presumably in the case somewhere) that throttles the voltage on the "fan only" power line.
My problem with this arrangement is that the fans are reacting to the temp inside the PSU, NOT the case itself.
I think it is a mistake to assume that the interior of the PSU accurately reflects the condition of the entire PC case.

the 550w antec has the fan speed control. The 480W does not i am not to fussy about it.Also i could add the fans to 1 of the 3 rails for 4 pin components for full speed.

Where do you get your information???

The whole TruePower series has "Dedicated Fan Only power connectors" with speed control.

Check out this article at Tomshardware: http://www4.tomshardware.com/howto/20021021/index.html

It shows the Antec True 380 to have an output of 471 Watts in a stress test.

OVER what it is rated.

that is very good.

they should stress a cheap 350watt psu and see what the max is they get out of that.
