OCZ Mk II 750W

Roughly a year or two-three ago PC Power & Cooling became one of the most reputable PSU manufacturers in the retail cahnnel. The phrase 'pure muscle power' comes to mind as their power supplies always have been heavy duty and all based on one big massive 12V power rails. Slowly but steadily the PSU landscape has changed though and other trends surfaced like aesthetics, power efficiency, silence and modular designs.

Weirdly enough last year PC Power & Cooling disappeared from the EU channels completely as OCZ halted sales in the EU for PC Power & Cooling products as demand was too low. A month or two ago the Mk III series however arrived back into the channel and now a second product line from PC Power & Cooling is once again inserted into retail here in Europe.

The new model PC Power & Cooling power supply is their Silencer Mk II series of PSU's. It's the 'bloke' PSU series again with a simple design, and hey -- nothing is modular so the PSU certainly is a squid inside your system with all the tentacles (wires), but yeah .. lots of you don't really care about cable management, they just want the best of the best and sure ...as you'll learn you can't really complain about the essence that is the Mk II Silence 750W power supply.

Carrying a 80+ Silver certification (88% efficiency at typical load) the Mk II certainly promises to be a good product series. But will it be silent enough, and is Anno 2012 a non-modular design really something that people desire ? With the fine reputation PC&C has that's interesting enough for us to have a peek at the product, head on over to the next page where we'll startup the review.

Oh and yeah, we tucked it down under ..

PC Power & Cooling MK III Silencer 1200 review
We review the PC Power and Cooling MK III Silencer 1200 Watt review from OCZ technology. The new Silencer Mk III series are all about being quiet, being awesome and very efficient and again, the PSU as tested today carries a Platinum certification. The new PSU also improved on the audibility front as it comes with a switch, enabled it and up-to 600 Watt (!) the fan will remain disabled and at that load your PSU merely lukewarm. The 1200W PSU is massive in performance, the one massive 99.5A 12-volts 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 circuitries.
