Silencer 760W
 |
"You're getting an incredibly high quality and high performing unit that's backed by a strong 7-year warranty (so you're sure to get your money's worth with this investment!). The Silencer brings some high-end features and tight specifications to the table - some are good examples of things never found on a consumer level power supply. If I wanted a reliable power supply to trust an expensive system, gaming rig, or server on, there's no doubt that the Silencer would be my top pick." |

"The PC Power & Cooling Silencer 760 lives up to PCP&C's reputation with its stable power stream and cool and quiet operation. It easily handled the moderate load from a modern single GPU gaming system and is manufacturer approved to handle up to dual GTX 470s with its SLI Ready label. The Silencer 760 is rated for continuous 760W even at a smoldering 50°C, with a peak up to 836W. This equates to a robust 62A +12V current, all while pulling down an 80Plus Silver efficiency rating and offering an impressive seven year warranty." |

"As you can see, the Silencer Mk II 950W PSU produced excellent load regulation on all of the outputs across a broad range of loads; just what we have come to expect from PC Power & Cooling – very good! The Silencer Mk II 950W PSU had no problems handling our cross-loading tests. In the second test we reversed the cross-load and placed a heavy load (166W) on the +3.3V and +5V outputs with a light load (2A/24W) on the +12V rail. Once again, the Silencer Mk II 950 PSU passed this test without problems. The unit demonstrated very good efficiency, excellent voltage regulation, and reliable cooling. The build quality of the Mk II 950 power supply is good and backed by PC Power & Cooling’s 7-year warranty." |

"The PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk II 650 W can really deliver its labeled wattage at high temperatures. Efficiency was high, between 83.6% and 87.3%. If we tried to increase one amp at any given output, the unit would shut down, showing that one of its protections kicked in, which is always the desired behavior. The maximum amount of power we could pull from this unit matches precisely the peak wattage advertised by the manufacturer. The new PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk II 650 W is a very good power supply, presenting better performance than practically all 650 W power supplies we’ve reviewed to date." |

"If efficiency and silent operation are important to you, PC Power & Cooling's Silencer Mk II 750W is worth considering for your next rig. The aptly named Silencer features a 135mm, ball bearing, thermally controlled fan, and we found it nearly noiseless during the entire testing process. The cables were long enough to reach all the components in our full sized case. Power users will appreciate the four PCI-E connectors and support for both ATX and EPS12V motherboard power. PC Power backs up the power supply with a seven-year warranty so it'll likely last the entire life of your system." |

"The Silencer Mk II 750 looks nice, has plenty of rugged connectors, and the cables are long enough for the largest PC case. The PSU comes with a heavy 14ga cord, some wire ties for cable management, and thumbscrews for ease of installation. The Silencer Mk II 750 is 80Plus Silver rated, with efficiency up to 88%. The most surprising thing about the Silencer Mk II 750 is the price, it sells for $129.99 at my favorite online retailer. I highly recommend this power supply for any single video card rig, and for SLI up to at least what it is rated for, a pair of GeForce GTX 260s. I imagine it would handle more than that, however. OCIA.net awards the PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk II 750 Watt power supply our Gold Seal of Approval." |

"The tolerance is typically a 5% fluctuation on any voltage line. The PC Power and Cooling 950 Watt Mk II PSU is well within that 5% fluctuation. As we can see my Vantage score jumped from 33k, to 36k just by switching out the PSU. This tells me that I was at one point; under powering my current computer. The PC Power and Cooling 950 Watt Mk II is a true "Single 12 volt Rail" and why you seen the score jump 3k points, as the PSU was able to feed the power hungry 470GTX video cards with enough power. I will take into consideration that this PSU can power my computer quite easily, the cables are flexible enough not to hinder their usage and also considering the 7 year warranty that this PSU comes with it is more than a fair price to pay. The PC Power and Cooling 950 Watt Mk II PSU is an affordable PSU that can power up some of the largest computers out there today." |

"Silencer Mk II is the latest power supply series from PC Power & Cooling, featuring a synchronous design with DC-DC conversion, single +12 V rail, 80 Plus Silver certification and an amazing 7-year warranty. We liked that the cables are long and each video card power connector is installed on an individual cable. Efficiency was very high all the times, peaking 88.2%. Voltage stability was another highlight from PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk II 750 W, with all voltages inside 3% of their nominal values. PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk II 750 W is very good 750 W power supply: high efficiency, voltages very close to their nominal values (3% voltage regulation instead of 5%), very low noise and ripple on its outputs and an amazing seven-year warranty. In summary, a very good power supply that won't let you down." |

"The PCP&C 750W power supply is designed for the average gamer setup which can handle its bright blue power and four graphics cards. The Quad is a 80plus certificate and is cooled by a 80mm fan. The cabling is not modular and consists of motherboard and CPU connectors, four PCIe connectors - two of which 6 have 2 pins. Six SATA connectors are divided into two cables, an additional three cables have eight Molex connectors and one floppy connector." |
