It's not often we review a 1600 Watt power supply. The guys behind LEPA however where keen that we tested one. So who are we to argue with that, in this review we'll have a look at the LEPA G1600, a 1600 Watt power supply that is labeled with a Gold certification, and if you are on 220V it will reach close to Platinum levels of efficiency. Quite amazing really as the unit isn't huge by any standard, it's not too noisy by any standard and heck, it is even modular. Have you ever seen a power supply that has 10 (!) 6+2 PCI Express graphics connectors ? Heck yeah, let' check 'r out.

We review the PC Power and Cooling MK III Silencer 750 Watt review from OCZ technology. The Silencer Mk III series are all about being quiet, being awesome and very efficient and again, the PSU as tested today carries a Gold certification. The PSU also improved on the audibility front as it comes with a switch, enabled it and up-to 350 Watt the fan will remain disabled and at that load your PSU merely lukewarm. The 750 PSU is lovely in performance, the one massive 62A 12-volts rails says it all really. Excellent for multi-GPU solutions and hardcore overclockers. The PSU is engineered with merely premium components, including Japanese 105°C capacitors and heavy-duty protection circuitry's.

We review the Corsair AX760 PSU. This 760 Watt Power Supply is grand in performance, the one massive 12-volts says it all really. Excellent for multi-GPU solutions and hardcore overclockers. Being the more 'regular' non AXi model these power supplies are a bit more affordable, yet remain high quality and high performance and Platinum rated.  I also now have the 760W and 860W versions of the new AX power supplies (the non-digital models). These are actually based on Seasonic platforms, and so are completely different PSUs to the AXi models, though they are still 80 Plus Platinum and fully-modular. The 760W is also fanless to 70% load (the 860W to 60%) at 25C ambient, which is pretty impressive.
