PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk II 500 W Power Supply Review

Conclusions

The PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk II 500 W is a good power supply, with high efficiency (between 81.4% and 85.9%), superb voltage regulation, low noise and ripple levels, and a very good cable configuration for a 500 W model (the same configuration used on the 650 W model from the same series).

It is very important to understand that the 500 W model uses a completely different internal design compared to the more powerful models from the Silencer Mk II series.

This is one of the best 500 W power supplies we’ve reviewed to date, however you can buy the OCZ ModXStream Pro 500 W, which has similar performance and comes with a modular cabling system, for less. Because it is a little bit expensive, in our opinion, we are giving the PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk II 500 W with our Silver Award.

The only 500 W power supply we reviewed that is better than the Silencer Mk II and the OCZ ModXStream Pro is the Enermax PRO87+ 500 W, which is an 80 Plus Gold unit and costs far more.
