Silencer MKIII 600W Power Supply
Introduction
PC Power and Cooling, who are now part of OCZ are renowned over the world for their high quality PSU devices in the market. The trend today is to go for the biggest wattage available however in reality most of us can survive easily on sub 1000W PSUs and this is where the Silencer MK III series is being targeted at. With 3 distinct models ranging from 400W, 500W and 600W it’s mainly aimed at the mainstream market with the added promise of high performance and professional grade power. With a top mounted variable RPM 120mm fan and a full modular design it’s good to see that PC Power and Cooling have revamped the drawbacks seen on the MK II series.
Some of the main highlights of the new Silencer MK III series include the usage of 100% Japanese 105°C capacitors with a continuous output at a demanding 50°C ambient temperature and heavy-duty protection circuits. For total peace of mind PC Power and Cooling also offers a 5 year warranty on these units which is something you do not see happening every day from other manufactures. The PSU we’re reviewing today is the 600W Silencer MK III series, so lets now take a quick look at the specs before going onto more details.
