PC Power and Cooling Silencer Mk II 950W High Performance 80PLUS Silver SLI CrossFire Intel Haswell Ready Power Supply

Pros: It's a 950W 80+ silver rated PSU for less than $150 - how can you go wrong? Plus it lives up to PC Power & Cooling's reputation that they've built since their inception. Solid, smooth rail with every single connection you could ever need and then some. I upgraded from a Corsair TX750 and don't regret it one bit. And this PSU is very quiet too - it lives up to the "silencer" name. Solid, quiet, stable - that's all you need for a quality PSU.

Cons: While not bulky, it is extremely heavy but that's probably due to the quality of materials used to make it. The 8-pin 12V rail connector cable is a bit too short, and I can't route it behind the motherboard tray of my Graphite 600T, but that's hardly anything to knock it down an egg.

Pros: Fantastic PSU with over 89% efficiency at 750w+ load! Have used it to power 3 x overclocked Radeon HD 6950s (750w+). Highly recommended for the price. Tested the 12v rail using 2 x 5870 and 1 x 5970 under load (~685w) and they were rock solid at 12.2v.

Cons: It is not modular. With the right case, this is a non-issue.

Pros: Have 5 of these , 2 are running 24 hours a day 7 days a week in Linux servers no issues

Cons: Noda - hmm would be nice if they where modular, don't knock a good thing. Lol

Overall Review: When running servers must use a power supply that won let you down. I have treid the new highly aclamed seesonic, ocz, silverstone, and a few other brands. Well what allways happends is I wined up going back to the pcpower & cooling, they just run pc's smoother Also aside from its reliability this power supply gave me 670 more points in 3d mark repeatedly. I do have a few of the older pcpower&cooling supplies you know the onse that arnt silent yet rock solid and i was worried about this one not living up to the name especially since the takeover and redesign. Rest assured its still the best. Like I said I have 5 and a few running on all the time no problem :) Please don't use seesonic for builds i cant explain why but there terrible in servers not stable over time crashes and instability problems. There is no test that can replace real world experiences. One server I couldn't figure out what the problem was I finally replaced the seesonic to pcpower&cooling and now stable 7 m

Pros: Backed my car right over the package FedEx so conveniently placed right outside my garage. Drove right over it. It didn't even dent. I expected catastrophic failure when plugging it in, but instead, it worked like a charm. The fan is very quiet -- I hope it's not the side effect of a car being on top of it. The fan also spins for a little after the ATX power is off -- I hope that also a feature.

Cons: Did not protect other components in the box that were also driven over.

Pros: Actually delivers 1000W consistently! Around 1% (yes, ONE PERCENT) off from being 80PLUS GOLD certified. Great fit and finish. The moment you hold it you can tell it uses quality components, and the casing is amazing as well. More connectors than you know what to do with!

Cons: More connectors than you know what to do with!

Overall Review: Some enthusiasts believe modular PSUs result in leakage of current. Though this hasn't really been tested one way or the other, if you have a case that can handle the extra cables and manage them nicely, it's something to keep in mind.

Pros: Does everything exactly as advertised. Worked right out of the box, no issues whatsoever. What I like about PC Power and Cooling is they don't advertize the 'peak' power, they advertize the constant power. The 950 unit actually peaks at over 1000w

Cons: It's Heavy! Almost 13lbs - Not really a con, just a sign of quality components.

Overall Review: 7 Year Warranty - Can't be beat!

Pros: I had always used Corsair psu in my builds, either for my self or for friends. This is my first psu from this manufacturer and i can say the build quality is no less if not more high quality compared. The psu is silent and sturdy. I have a Phantom 410 case. I was able to route the 8 pin cpu + the 24 pin atx power cables behind the case. Comes with plenty of cable option. It is not modular, but that does not matter, because i was able to hide and tied the cables to the case using zip ties. I liked how the 24 pin atx power cable is split 20+4.

Cons: As with any psu, even corsair, wished the 8 pin cpu + 24 atx pin was 1-2 inch longer.

Overall Review: It is normal for the psu fan to continue running even after shutdown via windows. I thought this feature is neat because just like with boiling water, after shutting off the gas, the water tends to boil up a bit more and then cools down. I think the same could apply to pro-long electronics components.

Pros: - PC P&C has remained an excellent power source after the OCZ acquisition. - Rock solid design - Silent

Cons: It's a little expensive vs. the field for a 900-1000W PSU, but you get what you pay for.

Overall Review: I'm replacing a 4 year old PC P&C Silencer 750 with this guy. I like to cycle out PSUs every 3 years, but really and truly based on the readings I'm still getting on the older 750, there was no real reason to swap it out. This guy has a SEVEN year warranty, and I firmly believe it'll keep solid output every second of that.
