PC Power & Cooling Silencer 910 Power Supply Review
Overload Tests
Contents
Below you can see the maximum we could pull from PC Power & Cooling Silencer 910. If we pulled one amp more the fuses from our load tester would blow. When we configured both +12 V inputs at 33 A the unit would shut down theses rails, indicating that some protection entered in action.
The idea behind of overload tests is to see if the power supply will burn/explode and see if the protections from the power supply are working correctly. This power supply didn’t burn or explode.
Silencer 910 could be easily labeled as a 1,000 W product. The manufacturer didn’t do this because otherwise they wouldn’t be able to get the 80 Plus Silver certification for this power supply.
