A Detailed Look
The Silencer 760W power supply features a standard, scratch-resistant PC Power & Cooling black matte paint job.  The enclosure measures just over 7” long (180mm).  The back panel contains an 80mm cooling fan, power receptacle, and On-Off switch.  All the Silencer power supplies incorporate universal AC input (automatically adjusts to the AC line voltage) so there is no little red voltage selector switch.

PC Power & Cooling uses a single, rear mounted fan for cooling on the 760W and 910W Silencer models.  The 80mm cooling fan is made by ADDA (AD0812UB-A71GL).  This ultra high speed model features dual ball bearings and is rated for up to 50 CFM at 12V.  To help minimize noise, the fan speed is automatically controlled by the internal component temperature (speeds up as the combined load and temperature increases).

The numerous slot openings on the front and small slots on both sides allows air to flow into the power supply for cooling the internal components.

The Silencer 760W power supply has a full complement of cables and connectors.  All of the cables are hard-wired into the PSU chassis, which eliminates potential problems caused by the added resistance of modular cable connectors.  At high power, even a little resistance can lower the delivered voltage and possibly cause overheating as contacts oxidize over time.  The wiring harnesses measure from 19” to 24” long to the first connector and are covered with black plastic mesh sleeving. 

The Silencer 760W power supply comes fitted with two 6-pin PCI-E connectors and two 8-pin PCI-E connectors (6-pin/2-pin split) to support high-end video cards. 

Note: If the standard cables do not meet your needs, PC Power & Cooling will build custom cables to your specs for an additional fee (when ordered directly from PC Power & Cooling).
