Hey, was wondering if I could replace my g4's power supply with a quieter one and which one I could use. TIA

it depends on which G4 you have.

If you have a quicksilver, not without some heavy and scary to do mods. There isn't a stock power supply that delivers the requirements of the QS mobo.

If you have an AGP, then yes.

If you have a yikes, then probably, since it's similar to B&W G3.

I have a mystic G4, so I guess I'm okay. Thanks.

BTW, why won't it work w/ a QS?

That website wasn't very helpful, though.

the QS requires a 28V pin. I can't find a PS that supplies that, and I've looked just about everywhere.

check this out too:
