PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk.III 600W Power Supply Review

Conclusion

Starting off with the build quality and design of the Silencer Mk3 we have a unit which delivers in all the important areas. For example we have a good selection of connectors, the hard wired cables focus on the essentials and the quality of paintwork is good. Inside the quality remains high with branded, high spec components such as the 105°C Japanese capacitors. We also liked the move to white paintwork, a nice change from the usual black and grey units which dominate the market.

In terms of performance this model in the Silencer Mk3 family does well. The 12, 3.3 and 5v lines remain within rated specifications and the unit has no trouble delivering 600w of power. Efficiency too is within the ratings outlined by the 80 Plus certification and ripple results on 3.3 and 5v were well within tolerance. The stand out performance aspect is noise level though with this PSU remaining very quiet at all times.

So that brings us to value where PC Power and Cooling bundle all of the cables, screws and ties that we expect with a modern PSU. Added to this is a 5-year warranty which gives us confidence that the PSU will outlive the majority of components in our system.

Summary
Those looking for a midrange PSU which offers good electrical performance and low noise operation need look no further than the Silencer Mk 3.
