"Even with the Core 2 Extreme X6800's electricity-sipping ways, we couldn't skimp on power with five hard drives, two videocards, and a Blu-ray drive to feed. We wanted power that's reliable, powerful, and quiet, so we turned to the go-to company for PSUs: PC Power and Cooling, and its new Silencer 750. This PSU gives us confidence that we won't smell the acrid scent of blown components on boot, or experience the power dropoffs and transients that have haunted lesser power supply companies. The best feature of the Silencer 750 is its silence, though. By lengthening the case of the PSU slightly, PC Power and Cooling says it was able to eliminate much of the cavitation noise of air being sucked over the components. And it did this without sacrificing the PSU's power rating. When the company says its PSUs hit a rating, dognab it, they do." |
