pc power&cooling

[kevdog]

seems to be a premium $$$, but any input about whether they are worth the $$$? i used to use their power supplies back in the day.

 

[Crosshairs]

Wrong forum...But IMHO yes they are worth it....

 

[unhappy_mage]

To power what? They're fine supplies, but overkill for many applications people seem inclined to recommend them for. Other manufacturers make cheaper or quieter PSUs that do the job just as well.

Nothing wrong with wanting the best of the best.

And the PCP&C 1kw supply is just that.

I'll never use another power supply other than PCP&C if I can have my way.

From what I have seen they are high quality and rock solid, and if any thing goes wrong they will replace it. I can confirm that last part since I had one of their older 510 Watt ones go bad. Told them what I found in the RMA form, and shortly after shipping in the old one, I got my new one which was even better then the original (original didn't have the PCI-E connectors, and they sent a SLi certified one back )

Been using a Silencer 350 that was originally purchased for a file server in my main rig, Pentium D 920, NV6800 x2 HDs and it's a champ.

No probs for well... about two years in different machines

I had been burning through power supplies about every 6 months prior (just bad luck I think) and got sick of gambling with lesser brands.
