PC Power & Cooling Powers the "Dream Machine" for 11th Consecutive Year at MaxPC
Who does Maximum PC trust the most to power their annual "Dream Machine"? PC Power & Cooling has been the PSUs of choice for eleven consecutive years, and this time the Silencer 910 made the cut with its 1KW peak output, 80+ Silver efficiency certification, and rock-solid single +12V rail design. An honor usually reserved for the industrial grade Turbo Cool Series, The Silencer had no problems fueling the high end components including the fastest video cards in SLI mode, multiple drives, and powerful processor, and all at a sub-$200 price point.
"This year, we made our challenge harder by stripping out all the excess, leaving just the lean ‘n’ mean hardware to send the message that this is a take-no-prisoners PC. It’s amazing that PC Power and Cooling’s Silencer 910 approaches the kilowatt range without the noise usually associated with 1K units. The unit is, of course, a single-rail design with up to 74 amps on the all-important 12-volt rail. What the specs don’t show you is the PSU’s heritage of reliability. While other brands have experienced failures in long-term use, we’ve never had a PC Power and Cooling unit give up the ghost."
