PC Power and Cooling is a California-based company that manufactures computer power supplies. PC Power and Cooling was founded in 1985 and based in Carlsbad, California. On May 25, 2007, the company was acquired by OCZ Technology.
PC Power & Cooling has been in the power management business for over 23 years and was founded by Doug Dodson who later served as the CTO of Power Management for OCZ Technology's entire power management division post acquisition. The company was responsible for many innovations including the first CPU cooler, the first PC heat alarm, the first independently-regulated PC power supply, the first redundant power system, the first NVIDIA SLI Certified supply, the first 1000W computer power supply and the first - and still only company - to offer an individual certified test report with each power supply sold.
PC Power & Cooling currently sells premium power management solutions in both the consumer and enterprise/oem channels. The company has the ability to customize PSU's locally for U.S. based OEM customers in their Carlsbad facility.
SAN JOSE, CA—December 14, 2010—OCZ Technology Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:OCZ), a leading provider of high-performance solid-state drives (SSDs), memory modules, and power supplies for computing devices and systems, has launched the new Silencer 760 power supply from PC Power & Cooling, OCZ’s PSU (power supply unit) subsidiary. Built for best-in-class stability and reliability for today’s high-end gaming systems and professional workstations, the Silencer line has proven itself as one of the most trusted PSU series on the market for more than 20 years.
“The PC Power and Cooling Silencer power supplies have long been regarded as a top-quality solution by system builders and clients who require the very best performance and dependability,” said Charlie McMenomey, Product Manager at OCZ Technology Group. “Building on the proven core architecture of the original series, the new Silencer 760W further raises the bar with an 80 PLUS Silver efficiency, exceptional reliability and the power output to meet the demands of power users.”
With a history of over 25 years building long-lasting, investment-grade power management, PC Power designed the new Silencer to offer consumers a combination of legendary PSU architecture and the ultimate in performance. The newest addition to the legendary Silencer series completes the family of ultra-quiet, high-reliability PSUs, which now range from 500 to 910 watts. Featuring an 80 Plus® Silver certification, the new 760W offers energy and cost savings with 88% efficiency (typical load) combined with a power output to meet the demands of the most component-heavy systems.
The rock-solid Silencer series not only meets a high standard of quality, but also guarantees superior compatibility with the latest graphic cards to provide sufficient output to even the most demanding graphics cards and cutting-edge platforms. The Silencer series is tested and qualified for systems with multiple power-hungry drives and video cards by delivering 760 watts of continuous power and 835W at its peak, and offers a temperature rating of 50ºC, twice that of the industry standard. Featuring rock-solid, super-clean DC output, a powerful Single Rail +12VDC (74A), and complete array of connectors including dual PCI-Express 6-pin, dual PCI-Express 6/8-pin, and 20+4-pin, 8-pin, and 4/8-pin motherboard connectors, this PSU can power a full array of high-end components.
The PC Power Silencer 760 slots into the series under the Silencer 910 and both are built with the highest-quality components and circuitry to provide one of the highest MTBF ratings at over 100,000 hours. In addition to the industry's most powerful yet versatile design on the market, the Silencer is backed by an industry-leading 7-Year warranty commitment and the expert knowledge of PC Power & Cooling technical support and engineering.
Warning: It is best to avoid Y-splitters if possible, for a few reasons. First, there have been reports of incorrectly wired Y-splitters. Watch out for them, as they have the potential to damage your equipment. (It's pretty easy to see if the adapter has been wired correctly by inspecting it carefully. Using an ohmmeter to test for correct connectivity is even better.) Second, they are an additional potential source of failure in the system, and are often cheaply made and hard to align and plug in properly. Third, they can further clutter the inside of a busy case. Fourth, every time you share two devices on a single connector, all the power drawn by the two devices has to travel down the same set of wires from the power supply. If you chain three or four drives off the same connector using multiple splitters you may exceed the current rating for the wires and/or connector.
