Closer Look:
PC Power & Cooling makes very nice products and the overall finish on the Silencer Mk III 750W is excellent. The package is tidy and the PSU has a nice white matte finish that prevents a bunch of fingerprints from marring the overall appearance of the unit. The Silencer Mk III has stepped things up in terms of appearance over the original Silencer and it's a nice step up indeed. The attention to detail is pretty impressive with this unit as it even comes shipped in a cloth bag instead of the traditional plastic bag. PC Power & Cooling really wants to show off how special this PSU is and how much care you should take to keep it awesome.
One thing I really noticed with this PSU is how much branding there is on the unit. PC Power & Cooling seems to be pretty proud overall. Take a look at the close-up images below and you'll soon see what I mean.
I love the round thread-on modular connectors. The truth is they aren't as handy as some other connectors, but they look cool and ensure that the cables stay connected securely.

Specifications:
As we analyze the specifications, I'll start by saying that I'm a fan of a 7 year warranty. PC Power & Cooling knows how to stand behind their products and this is great news for consumers.
PC Power & Cooling claims the PSU can handle a 750W "Continuous Load" at 50°C. If we do the math on this PSU we'll see that the 3.3v and 5v lines are rated a little conservative. I added up a total output of 199.2W instead of the 120W rated output. When we move up to the nice 62A +12v line, we find that it measures in at 774W. The -12v line weighs in at 6W with the 5vsb line in at 15W. In the end, they rate all the lines conservatively and don't include the -12v and 5Vsb into the overall output as do most companies. That being said, the rails total 994.2W - which well exceeds the "Peak Output" rating of this PSU.
