Value and Conclusion

	The HEC Silent 385 is selling for about $45 which is a fair price for this PSU.
	Very quiet (temperature-controlled 20-30 dbA) Stable voltages Pretty black paint SATA Connector Screw package included
	Unsleeved cabling Cables could be longer Paint job takes fingerprints very easy Only 220V AC supported, no mains power cable included
7.5	The Silent385 is a good allround PSU for the normal user and seasoned overclocker. Hardcore people probably want to choose a PSU with a >400W rating.The tested 220V version is only available for the european market. A 110V version with the same specs is available for the U.S. market.
