PC Power & Cooling have been making solid single 12v rail PSUs for a long time now, and it’s given them chance to get really good at it. The 12v rail on this sample was tuned ridiculously close to the 12v output it should have been at (How close? Under 0.1% !).

With PCP&C power supplies you are paying for quality components and build, unfortunately this means you will pay a premium over other generic PSUs, but when you consider that if your PSU blows it can take out everything it is connected to as well, surely it’s worth paying for that peace of mind. The Silencer 750W Quad Blue can be found for around £100 at the time of writing.

PC Power and cooling have the brand reputation for a reason. They make top quality power supplies again and again time after time. The silencer 750W is no exception, and gives great performance. (my editor informed me that PC Power and Cooling are his number 1 choice of PSU, he also told me that the earlier model of Silencer 750W powered a modded rig that used to cause most other manufactures 800W PSU’s to cut out) I can understand why now as well!

In use the PSU is fairly quiet, but its 80mm fan is still louder than a fair few 120mm unit’s I’ve used before. So if silence is what you are after, then you need to look elsewhere.

The great performance gains this PSU our recommended award:

Pros

• Fairly Quiet Operation
• Rock steady voltage rails
• Single 12v rail so Amps aren’t wasted (vs multi rail)
• Plenty of connectors
• Cool running

Cons

• Would like to see longer 8pin 12v aux cable
• Unsleeved cable ends

Reality Check: Another great PSU from PCP&C, unfortunately it’s not silent as its name implies, but it can’t be faulted on performance.
