Pro-Source 1500 UPS
 |
"The Pro-Source was spot on in every testing scenario we could come up with including the slightly insane "Let run a computer during the worst electrical storm of the year" test. The Pro-Source reliably shuts the computer down during power outages, protects against overvoltage, undervoltage, catastrophic power failure and shuts the rig down during power outages. Now if we could just get it to go to the fridge and get us a soda we'd marry it. The consistent excellent performance of the Pro-Source 1500 in the worst testing we could throw at it and the stable voltage it fed the test rigs during severe lightning storms earn it a 9.5 out of 10 and the Bjorn3D Golden Bear Award." |

"The PC Power and Cooling Silencer Quad 750 is a product of high quality construction and excellent performance. In our tests the power supply has not made a turn and the values on the lines were always maintained, with an efficiency that goes beyond the 80Plus certification. The interior design helps to reduce the noise of the fan, which is always important for a PSU, and that justifies the name "Silencer." |

"The Silencer 750 Watt performed outstandingly. It scored a top power factor of 48 at standby and managed to win second in idle and load results. This power factor meant that wattage was relatively low due to the PSU making the most of the power it draws. In all the tests which we conducted on the power supply, the Silencer somehow managed to break at least one record. It scored the highest efficiency results we’ve ever recorded and also won overall in the voltage tests. As it stands, the PC Power and Cooling Silencer 750W is the best power supply I have reviewed so far. " |

"If you own a high-end or otherwise mission critical system, we have no hesitation in recommending a Pure Sine Wave unit. We can't overlook how well the Pro-Source performed. As expected, it kept our mid-range system up and running with plenty of time to tie up any loose ends before shutting down. More surprising was how well it handled two higher end systems, keeping both zipping along for nearly 10 minutes before running out of juice. That's impressive. We rated the Pro-Source highly because it did well in so many areas, if not falling just shy of an Editor's Choice award. PC Power & Cooling's Pro-Source delivers the cleanest power you're going to find in a UPS, and it has the muscle to handle high end systems. " |

"When trying to describe the build quality and electrical performance of the new Silencer 910W unit, one can only describe them as outstanding. The voltage lines will barely flinch even when the load suddenly changes. The very high efficiency not only keeps the PSU running cool, but it also limits the amount of wasted energy and the overall power requirements of the unit. They selected some of the best components when they designed the 910W version of the Silencer, creating a highly dependable product. Confident as they are about their products, PC P&C covers the new Silencer units with a 5 year warranty. The Silencer 910W will be a very satisfactory choice for those seeking exceptional quality and superior electrical performance at a very competitive price. " |

"I have to say, after testing the PC Power & Cooling Silencer 910W PSU, I wasn't disappointed at all. Normally most maufacturers will charge a very high premium for a high wattage PSU, whether it has all the features or not. This is certainly not the case with the Silencer 910W. For a start, it offers excellent stability, masses of connectivity and more importantly ... silence. PC Power & Cooling never cease to amaze me with the build quality, stability and power efficiency of their power supplies. The Silencer 910W is one of the most powerful PSUs that we've tested to date, that offers all of the above as well as silence. Featuring a powerful single +12V rail at a massive 74A, it's more than enough to satisfy the needs of the most demanding user and enthusiasts. What's more, it's Quad SLI certified upto 2 x Geforce GTS 295 and comes with 80Plus "Silver" certification. All of this comes with their impressive 5 year warranty too ... I can't fault it." |

"While the PSU is rated at 910W, it's peak wattage will allow you to go even towards 1000W. Making it an 'unofficial' KiloWatt power supply really. What we like very much is the extremely high efficiency, the PSU is rated to be 88% efficient at normal load, which is an achievement all by itself. PC Power & Cooling have created another little gem with the Silencer 910. It is a remarkably stunning power supply really. Their concept of keeping things basic really works out for them and though that might not be everybody's cup of tea it surely is convincing. The overall look and feel of the PSU was remarkable. It surely is a PSU with balls made out of steel as we weren't ably to stress is to it's max whatsoever. If you like a plain, simple and horribly stable power supply, this is probably the best you can get as it is ranking in the highest of high-end." |

"PC Power & Cooling have been making solid single 12v rail PSUs for a long time now, and it’s given them chance to get really good at it. The 12v rail on this sample was tuned ridiculously close to the 12v output it should have been at (How close? Under 0.1% !). PC Power and cooling have the brand reputation for a reason. They make top quality power supplies again and again time after time. The silencer 750W is no exception, and gives great performance. (my editor informed me that PC Power and Cooling are his number 1 choice of PSU, he also told me that the earlier model of Silencer 750W powered a modded rig that used to cause most other manufactures 800W PSU’s to cut out) I can understand why now as well! The great performance gains this PSU our recommended award!" |

"The built quality of the Silencer 750 is extremely good. When it comes to the noise level, the PSU stayed quiet during all our tests. In terms of performance the Silencer is extremely stable at stayed way below the official tolerance. The efficiency is also very good! For everybody who is looking for a powerful PSU in this range, PC Power & Cooling delivers the ideal unit! This power pack convinced us in terms of performance, stability and plenty of connectors and walks away with our Silver and Eco Award." |

"It is necessary that a reliable psu is used for power hungry gaming systems which have multiple graphics cards. Besides it’s nominal 750W nominal power, this psu can reach 825W peak value. The expression “Silencer”, gives the idea how silent this psu is." |
