Long time readers of Maximum PC magazine already know what we think of PC Power & Cooling (now owned by OCZ). More than a couple of PCP&P power supplies have ended up in our annual Dream Machine builds, and for good reason -- the company typically puts out rock solid PSUs.

The latest entry to PCP&P's PSU line is the Silencer 760, hitting the sweet spot in the Silencer series that ranges from 500W to 910W. The 760W also "further raises the bar with an 80 PLUS Silver efficiency" rating, running at 88 percent efficiency on a typical load.

As with all PCP&P PSUs, the Silencer 760 pumps all of its +12V amps through a single rail (74A in this case) rather than split them up through two, three, or even four +12V rails, as some PSU makers are prone to do. Other features include 835W peak power (the 760W rating is continuous power), dual 6-pin PCI-E connectors, dual 6/8-pin PCI-E connectors, eight SATA connectors, seven peripheral connectors, and one mini connector.

No word yet on price or availability.
