Silencer Mk II 750W
 |
"If efficiency and silent operation are important to you, PC Power & Cooling's Silencer Mk II 750W is worth considering for your next rig. The aptly named Silencer features a 135mm, ball bearing, thermally controlled fan, and we found it nearly noiseless during the entire testing process. The cables were long enough to reach all the components in our full sized case. Power users will appreciate the four PCI-E connectors and support for both ATX and EPS12V motherboard power. PC Power backs up the power supply with a seven-year warranty so it'll likely last the entire life of your system." |

"The Silencer Mk II 750 looks nice, has plenty of rugged connectors, and the cables are long enough for the largest PC case. The PSU comes with a heavy 14ga cord, some wire ties for cable management, and thumbscrews for ease of installation. The Silencer Mk II 750 is 80Plus Silver rated, with efficiency up to 88%. The most surprising thing about the Silencer Mk II 750 is the price, it sells for $129.99 at my favorite online retailer. I highly recommend this power supply for any single video card rig, and for SLI up to at least what it is rated for, a pair of GeForce GTX 260s. I imagine it would handle more than that, however. OCIA.net awards the PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk II 750 Watt power supply our Gold Seal of Approval." |

"The tolerance is typically a 5% fluctuation on any voltage line. The PC Power and Cooling 950 Watt Mk II PSU is well within that 5% fluctuation. As we can see my Vantage score jumped from 33k, to 36k just by switching out the PSU. This tells me that I was at one point; under powering my current computer. The PC Power and Cooling 950 Watt Mk II is a true "Single 12 volt Rail" and why you seen the score jump 3k points, as the PSU was able to feed the power hungry 470GTX video cards with enough power. I will take into consideration that this PSU can power my computer quite easily, the cables are flexible enough not to hinder their usage and also considering the 7 year warranty that this PSU comes with it is more than a fair price to pay. The PC Power and Cooling 950 Watt Mk II PSU is an affordable PSU that can power up some of the largest computers out there today." |

"Silencer Mk II is the latest power supply series from PC Power & Cooling, featuring a synchronous design with DC-DC conversion, single +12 V rail, 80 Plus Silver certification and an amazing 7-year warranty. We liked that the cables are long and each video card power connector is installed on an individual cable. Efficiency was very high all the times, peaking 88.2%. Voltage stability was another highlight from PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk II 750 W, with all voltages inside 3% of their nominal values. PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk II 750 W is very good 750 W power supply: high efficiency, voltages very close to their nominal values (3% voltage regulation instead of 5%), very low noise and ripple on its outputs and an amazing seven-year warranty. In summary, a very good power supply that won't let you down." |

"The PCP&C 750W power supply is designed for the average gamer setup which can handle its bright blue power and four graphics cards. The Quad is a 80plus certificate and is cooled by a 80mm fan. The cabling is not modular and consists of motherboard and CPU connectors, four PCIe connectors - two of which 6 have 2 pins. Six SATA connectors are divided into two cables, an additional three cables have eight Molex connectors and one floppy connector." |

"The Silencer 750 design is very discreet and inconspicuous. The daily performance of the PC Power & Cooling Silencer is perfect. Particularly impressive is the performance at 3.3-volt, whose voltage during the test has practically no changes. When it comes to price, the Silencer is not expensive, and cheaper than any other PSU with a similar reputation and specifications." |

"We were surprised to see this PSU using a 80mm fan when unboxing it. Of course this fan is good enough to keep the power supply cool. Silencer 910 comes without modular cable management and offers 4 PCIE connectors. There is no lack of any kind of connectors. This PSU did well in our testing. The voltages were stable and efficiency was good. The unit from PC Power & Cooling is first class, which will satisfy any user." |

"The Silencer 910 has a Silver certificate, but is not modular. There are enough cables, in addition to the motherboard and CPU connectors twelve SATA connectors on three cables, eight molex connectors on two cables and four PCI-e connectors, where half are 6+2 pins, each with its own cable. The cooling is provided by a rear-mounted 80mm fan." |

"Pro-Source is PCP&C’s line of uninterruptible power supplies (UPSes). This particular model is a 1,500VA unit (1,440VA with a standard plug) capable of delivering 900 watts, which should be more than enough for an enthusiast system not running under an insane load. At 900W, expect three minutes of runtime; at half-load expect 12 minutes. The three 12V, 7Ah rechargeable batteries are fairly simple to replace, and the UPS runs at 97% efficiency while on AC power. I also like that PCP&C bundles remote management software so you can use the Pro-Source’s USB port to check on battery levels or respond to emailed outage alerts." |

"The PC Power & Cooling Silencer 910W is a Powerhouse. It has no issues whatsoever and provides the most stable voltages we have seen in this test. With just 0.1W it has the lowest power consumption in standby mode of all power supplies we tested today." |
