Silencer 750 Quad Black (Recertified)
 |
"PC Power & Cooling goes it’s way with the Silencer Quad 750W PSU. With a 12V single rail at 60A this PSU is aimed at overclockers and users that have a large amount of high end hardware in their system. The manufacturing quality is excellent and the performance is impressive, last but not least the price is good also considering it is SLI and Crossfire certified." |

"The power supply is an very good unit. If you're a gamer who likes to use the latest videocards, the two eight pin PCI Express 2.0 power connectors will keep your videocards happily fed with extra juice. We often say that you can tell how much confidence a manufacturer has in its products by the length of it warranty. At five years, the PC Power & Cooling warranty is two years longer than the industry standard. The PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad is aggressively priced. There are a lot of good power supplies available for that price but there's just something special about PC Power & Cooling that makes you want to go that route." |

"I salute this quality product that delivers what is promised, not only that it actually overperforms. PC Power & Cooling is known for their quality products and for us gamers it is important to choose the right PSU especially if you are running two VGA cards. This requires a PSU with high stability and efficiency. Not only does the PSU deliver enough power (we tested it at 760.1W) it’s also extremely stable. The peak of this PSU is 825W! When it comes to the noise level the Silencer impressed me as well, no matter how much load I put on it, the Silencer remained quiet, this is the first time I have experienced a PSU that is quiet and delivers the goods – finally! For those of you who are looking to buy a PSU – for god's sake go for the Silencer!" |

"The 750W Silencer is recognised as one of the most reliable stable power supplies available today.In terms of heat dissipation, the Silencer does a good job of keeping itself and its neighbours cool. Rock steady operation is a warranted association with PC Power and Cooling products and the Silencer 750 is no exception. All the features you could ask for are included such as active PFC, automatic fan speed control circuitry and a 5-year warranty. The SLI certification has undoubtedly helped. The Silencer is, in a way, a box filled with peace of mind." |

"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." |

"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." |

"We were really impressed by this power supply. Efficiency was one of the highlights of this product during our tests. If you pull up to 80% of its labeled capacity you will have at least 85% efficiency, peaking almost 90% when you pull 40% of its capacity. Even when we overloaded it efficiency was still above 80%. It is a very quiet power supply if you run it below its maximum capacity.Featuring a 5-year warranty, four video card power cables and a sufficient number of peripheral power connectors, this product is perfect for high-end users looking for a power supply on the 750 W-850 W range.

"By using only a single 80mm fan for cooling, the Silencer 750 Quad PUS was found to be very quiet. If it wasn’t for the 2900 XT’s, that can sound like a hair dryer at times, I would not have known the system was on. The cabling was long enough to reach all the places I need it to go in the Ultra M998 case and still be some what hidden.The Silencer 750 Quad is a very capable power supply for mid-rage systems. " |

"The power supply itself sports some impressive features, such as an 825 Watts peak, but it is more rated at a reasonable 750 Watts @ 40° C. This yields 83% efficiency with .99 power factor correction (PFC). The 12-Volt DC output is an impressive 60 Amps on a single rail. As we said earlier, the unit is certified for both ATI Crossfire and NVIDIA SLI use. The internal build quality is excellent. In real world testing of the Silencer 750 Quad that lasted over a month, we noticed very little movement in the voltage output. The Silencer 750 Quad in our HD 2900 XT equipped system was more than up to the task of powering the video card, 3 hard drives, 2 optical drives, as well everything else in our system. Under heavy load, the fan did spin up a bit during marathon gaming sessions, but the noise from the HD 2900 XT video card was louder than that of the Silencer 750 Quad. The Silencer 750 Quad did what it was advertised to do, which is to provide clean and stable power to our system with no problems whatsoever. Given that this is a reality, we can recommend the Silencer 750 Quad as an excellent product that is able to perform well in a variety of situations. " |

"Using the Silencer turned out to be a breeze. PC Power & Cooling made great efforts to keep the Silencer true to its name: silent. PC Power & Cooling made great efforts to keep the Silencer true to its name: silent. The Silencer Quad performed the best out of any PSU I have ever owned. Not only are the voltages all quite accurate, but they are extremely consistent as well even when stressed on an overclocked, Crossfire enabled system. The single rail design took the cake and really impressed us today." |
