Testing – Physical Weight

One of the basic measures of any ATX power supply is the unit’s overall physical weight.  This may seem rather simplistic but it generally holds that more components and larger heatsinks equal a better PSU. Both Silencer power supplies were weighed on a digital balance.

 

Overall PSU Weight

     Power Supply

Weight

Silencer 360 watt ATX

1,769 g

62.5 oz

Silencer 410 watt ATX

1,816 g

64.1 oz

 

 

I was a little surprised to find that both of the Silencer power supplies weighed a little less than an average ATX power supply in the ~400 watt range, including an older PC Power & Cooling Silencer 400 ATX I have from a year ago (2,131 g).
