PC Power and Cooling Silencer Mk.III 850W Power Supply Review

Sometimes manufacturers rush out product after product when they release a new range. PC Power and Cooling (part of OCZ) can’t be accused of that though because in November 2011 we took a look at their new Silencer MK.3 600w PSU, which was then followed by a 1200w model in August 2012. Now more than a year after the first Mk.3 OCZ have refreshed the range with new 750w and 850w models and we have one of the latter on our test bench today.

PC Power and Cooling package the Silencer Mk.3 850w version in a box which is near identical to the other models in the range. Some key product details have logos on the front and there is plenty of information on the unit across the other sides. Inside we find the PSU surrounded by foam, wrapped in a cloth bag and sealed in plastic within.

Bundled with the Silencer is product documentation, mains cable, screws and a set of cable ties. A cloth bag is also present which contains the modular cables.
