After more than a couple decades of building PC's (dating back to the 8086/8088 clone days), I long ago became a firm believer in quality PSUs. With modern CPU, motherboard, and videocard power requirements, gone are the days when you could get away with any old generic PSU that came free with a case. Now I tend to pay as much or more for PSUs as I do those other components. And even quality PSUs can get overloaded or otherwise fail. To wit, my 750W Silencer Quad, which apparently overloaded and melted down the +12v pins on the ATX mobo connector. Fortunately, it didn't fry the mobo and actually continued working as long as I kept the melted plastic cleaned away and the exposed metal socket halves squeezed together to maintain electrical contact. Obviously that wasn't practical in the long term, so I ordered this beefier model to replace it before I RMA'd the 750W. I already have the replacement RMA and will use it in a secondary box. RMA service and responsiveness was excellent, with the replacement shipped out the day after they received the original.The 950W is as quiet as the 750W was, and has the extra headroom to hopefully avoid overloading it again. For the record, this PC has an i7-860 overclocked to 3.4Ghz, 8GB of DDR3, two Nvidia videocards (GTX-275 + 8800GTS G92 for PhysX processing) driving 3 large LCD monitors, 1 SSD + 3 mechanical HDDs, 5x 120mm case fans, and about a million various things hanging off the USB ports.What I love about PCP&C is that, unlike many PSU manufacturers, they actually *understate* their PSU capacity. This 950W Silencer MkII is actually rated at 1000W continuous and 1080W peak. With a 98% power factor and 88% efficiency, a single monster 83A 12v rail (don't fall for the multi-rail hype, it's a gimmick to make you think it's "better" but it's not), non-modular cables (modular cables are another gimmick that can result in power loss and inefficiency), and plenty of connectors, it's a very well designed, high-quality power supply that is a bargain at this price. Highly recommended for PC enthusiasts!

I don't need to go into detail about how good is this psu. You can find many good technical details already said in here. What want to say is that I am very satisfied with my purchased. This is for my first PC build. It looks beautifil and high quality unit and the price is not to bad.

It is quiet really quiet. My system started becoming unstable, when I upgraded my gpu (I had a 380w antec psu). I wanted to get something that would last and would handle a new cpu when I finally fully upgrade my system. It also looks really nice.
