Turbo-Cool 860
 |
"The new PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 860W power supply was designed for both industry professionals and high-end gamers who demand the very best. The 860 demonstrated excellent efficiency, very good voltage regulation, and produced clean outputs. The Turbo-Cool 860 can deliver up to 64A (768W) of +12V continuous power at up to 50°C operating temperature and can support dual, high-end video cards with four PCI-E connectors. All this in a small chassis that will fit in virtually any ATX style case. The build quality of the Turbo-Cool 860W power supply is excellent and it is backed by PC Power & Cooling’s new 7-year warranty and legendary support. If you like to tweak things and are looking to fine tune your DC output voltages, the Turbo-Cool 860 allows some adjustment without providing too great a range that could inadvertently cause damage to your PC’s components.

"We found the Turbo-Cool 1200 to have very stable voltage output that did not fluctuate during periods of heavy load. And because this PSU is geared toward the high end, it’s outfitted with a multitude of connectors…This PSU is built so well and provides so much power that it should last through multiple upgrade cycles and provide years of trouble-free service." |

"With its relatively high output rating, high efficiency, quality construction, and adjustable rails, it’s easy to like the Turbo-Cool 860. Considering its features, performance, and competitive price, this has to be our favorite PSU of the bunch. " |

"For this price the Silencer is an amazing value considering the reputation behind this Power Supply. The Silencer was quiet throughout testing and we had no issues with stability even when loading the PC with multiple real world applications. OCZ has once again scored huge, not only producing a high quality product but delivering it at a price point that is affordable to everyone." |

"The overall build quality of the Turbo-Cool 860 is excellent. The unit also features a healthy apportionment of relevant connectors that can be customized to a user’s specification if the user orders directly from PC Power & Cooling. This is a service and build feature that is, as yet, unmatched by any other vendor we have reviewed and certainly is worth some amount of price premium.Today we saw the Turbo-Cool 860 post efficiency numbers of 81.94% to 85.05% at 120v and 81.09% to 84.88% at 100v that can only be described as excellent. The PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 860 is a good power supply that does well in all our tests and everything about its build quality, voltage regulation, efficiency, and DC Output quality make us want to unabashedly recommend this unit." |

"Another supply with plenty of headroom is the PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750W. This is unusual in doing away with rails altogether, delivering its full +12V power down one 60A line. This gives you more flexibility, as a power supply with three 20A rails couldn't drive four 13A devices, whereas the Silencer can. Despite its high current, the Silencer averaged 85.3% efficiency in our tests - one of this month's best scores - and it comes with a five-year warranty. It lives up to its name, too, pushing out a barely audible breeze and rising to only 31C at 100% load. " |

"The PC Power & Cooling Turbo Cool 860W PSU is a very good power supply indeed. It handled all our power hungry components with no problems at all. This PSU is truely designed for the most demanding of enthusiasts. All the voltages arcoss the board were rock solid with very little fluctuations during heavy load.In my opinion, the PC Power & Cooling Turbo Cool 860W PSU is one of the best sub-1000W power supply we've tested to date." |

"The voltages were very stable. The rest of the rails were spot on. Probably the most stable we’ve seen in a power supply, the Silencer performed like a real winner. The Silencer shined again when it came to noise and heat. The 80mm fan on the Silencer was whisper quiet and the exhaust blown out was slightly warm meaning the Silencer was coping very well under stress. The Silencer 610 is a phenomenal power supply. Once again PC Power & Cooling have shown that they’re still at the top of their game. We can’t really find anything wrong with this power supply which would make us hesitate in recommending it to anyone." |

"The Silencer 610 is SLI certified and comes with plenty of connectors. Design and built quality are excellent. Comparable to the results of the 750, during our 8 days testing the Silencer 610 stayed extremely stable and even under full load the PSU cools all components well due to the efficient design and 80mm fan. We achieved an efficiency of over 84% which is very good and even our highend gaming system couldn’t push the unit to the limit. " |

"This is a 610 W power supply without any fancy feature like modular cabling system or 120-mm fan, but providing all the specs a regular user needs nowadays. Since this power supply passed flawlessly all our tests, and continued working after that, is really able to deliver its labeled power at 45º C and provides a high efficiency, this is definitely a model we recommend, and that is why we are giving it our Recommended Product Award Seal." |
