Introduction

We would like to thank PC Power & Cooling for supplying the review sample.

PC Power & Cooling has been in the PSU business for quite long. They started in 1985 with their first products being quiet fans and not PSUs. However a year later they introduced the Silencer 150 and Turbo-Cool 200 PSUs. In 1991 PC P&C moved to its current facility in San Diego, CA. Some of the innovative products of the company are: the first CPU cooler, the first PC heat alarm, the first independently-regulated PC power supply, the first redundant power system, the first NVIDIA-certified SLI supply, the first one Kilowatt computer power supply, and the first power supply with its own certified test report (Turbo-Cool 1KW).

A crucial point in the company’s history was the buyout from OCZ Technology Group in 2007. With this move OCZ utilized the huge experience of PC P&C to deliver even better PSU products. Currently PC P&C focus on industrial and professional power users and their PSUs follow a non-modular design while OCZ PSU series cover all other categories and include modular PSUs.

In today’s review we will test a PC P&C Silencer 760W. This PSU can deliver 760W at 50°C (836W Peak), is NVIDIA SLI and 80PLUS Silver certified, is equipped with an 80mm ultra quiet fan and has a single +12V rail that can output 74A. The model also comes with seven years of warranty that back up the PSU and ensure your piece of mind.

Specifications

The PSU features a single +12V rail and a fairly strong 5VSB rail.

Cables & Connectors

All cables are long enough and distance between the connectors is the recommended. Peripheral connector cables have 18 AWG wires, while the ATX 24 pin, EPS and PCIe cables use thicker 16 AWG wires for lower resistance.
