Silencer 610 EPS12V (Recertified)
 |
""This 610W unit outdid its specs by a large margin."" |

"It seems PC Power & Cooling has another winner on their hands here. PCP&C stands out with better overall performance, less variance in its rails, less variance when overclocked, and closer to advertised rail voltages; pretty much a winner all around. It seems since our last review the Silencer series has become even more affordable and no longer resides at that high end exclusive club when it comes to price. It certainly resides in that club when it comes to performance and that is why we have no qualms when it comes giving it our recommendation as one of the best values in power supplies." |

"Beating competing PSU models such as Corsair VX 450W, Be Quiet! StraightPower 600W and 550W, Apevia Iceberg 680W, Antech TruePower Trio 650W, and Hiper Type-R 580W, the Silencer proved its grit at Hardware Logic: Way to go PC Power and Cooling, good and clean power! The PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610 EPS12V power supply is a solid performer with a strong warranty. If you are looking for a PSU for a serious application in the 600 watt range, this one should be among your considerations. If you are really serious about pushing a system and need something solid, the PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610 EPS12V certainly fits the bill." |

"Overall we were very impressed with the PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad Power Supply. The power output and quality were excellent and easily handled both of our test systems. Build quality was excellent, and it's quite impressive to see some of the physical and technological features in what is essentially a consumer level power supply. The PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad Power Supply does bring the power, but does so the right way. Backed by a solid warranty, good performance and build quality, we have no problems telling our readers to strongly consider the PC Power & Cooling Silencer we reviewed today." |

"From these tests we see some pretty solid performance. The 3.3V line was rock solid during testing, and the 5V and 12V lines stayed relatively consistent. Most people wouldn't expect a quad-core rig with Crossfire graphics cards to run well on 500W, but the Silencer is a testament to the fact that it can with a high quality power supply. The Silencer stays true to its name, as it stayed very quiet throughout all testing. Because PC Power & Cooling puts an inch of space in front of the fan, there is very little air turbulence within the unit, keeping the air movement over the fan very quiet. Given its performance and silence, it's definitely a great bang for the buck, and earns the OCIA.net Seal of Approval." |

"The Silencer 500 leaves a great impression when it comes to external appearance and packaging. The build quality is very good as always. From the performance side of the equation, the power supply does well. The efficiency is also good, reaching up to 86% with 230VAC and up to 84% with 120VAC. In terms of pricing, we have the next surprise, as the Silencer 500 will be a bargain (relatively speaking). PCP&C is known for being more expensive than competing models, but this time they're competitive with similar quality 500W offerings." |

"The Silencer 610W is yet another exceptional high performance PSU coming from PC Power & Cooling. For those who care about the electrical performance of a PSU above all else the Silencer 610W will be a very satisfactory choice. It is one of the most stable units we have ever tested and will not show any sign of instability even during very large changes on its load and it also is very efficient. Another strong point of the Silencer 610W is the unreasonably good acoustics performance as the unit is extremely silent despite being cooled by a small 80mm fan. The Silencer 610W EPS12V unit on the other hand is very reasonably priced and is one of the cheapest units available in the 600-700W range making it a very sweet deal for people who want a high performance unit and the aesthetics are a secondary factor. Taking everything into account, we believe that the PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610W EPS12V unit rightfully earns our Editors Choice." |

"If someone needs a real work-horse then PCP&C Silencer 470 ATX will totally satisfy him. It’s a typical labourer, which should work and work and work… and it works good. " |

"The Silencer 610 is a fantastic power supply. At a decent price you get a SLI and 80plus certified unit that is extremely quiet" |

"The results of the Silencer 610W are quite impressive. During the test we realized that this Silencer 610W is a good performer, which impressed us by its stability and its silence. We therefore give the Silencer 610W our Silver Award. " |
