“The Silencer Mk II 950W PSU is certainly a good power supply but doesn’t live up to the high standards that PC Power & Cooling has established for themselves over the years. The two main weaknesses in our opinion are mediocre AC ripple and noise suppression and a high selling price. There are several other PSUs currently on the market in this power range that offer similar or better performance at a lower price.”Here are some more Cases & Cooling reviews from around the web:

PC Power & Cooling let Lee down

Maybe it is just that the expectations we have for PCP&P are a little high here at PC Perspective, even after they were bought out by OCZ Technology but the Silencer Mk II 950W PSU did not receive a shiny review here. For a company that has won many awards in the past having AC ripple and noise that was noticeably, even if it remained within spec, seems like a failing grade for a PSU maker with history of quality of PCP&P. That is not to say it is an awful PSU as it is not, but read through Lee’s notes on it before purchasing one.
