OCZ has released the new Silencer Mk III series power supplies from its subsidiary PC Power & Cooling. the new Silencer Mk III builds upon the tradition of the Silencer series offered by OCZ Technology

The Silencer Mk III is the first time the Silencer series will offer a modular design (not full modular though). The Mk III uses a single +12V rail with 100 percent Japanese 105°C capacitors. Mk III offers continuous output at a demanding 50°C ambient temperature, while maintaining 80 Plus Bronze-level efficiency up to 85 percent at typical loads. (A review of the Silencer Mk III can be found at HardwareHeaven.com, which they rated the Mk III a 9/10.)

    fb39ca4lol we are all so stereotyped that japanese make better capacitors. im at least *some* the people in taiwan can make them better.No one said Japanese makes the better capacitor. It is just that Japanese cap-makers have a better reputation in the eye of media/marketing. The whole incident with Taiwan sending faulty/leaking caps was just a huge blow to their reputation.

    I'm guessing you are from Taiwan? Don't worry, everyone and anyone that uses computers on a daily basis uses capacitors from Taiwan since they produce almost half the Electrolyte capacitors. It is just that companies don't market "OUR CAPACITORS ARE FROM TAIWAN!" because of the history. Pretty much the same capacitors.

    lol, I had no idea that PCPnC was owned by OCZ. I just bought an OCZ power supply that had great reviews (but a limited number of reviews) and after seeing the specs compared to teh price, with the good reviews I could not resist. I was going to spend a little extra on the PCPnC, but now I feel I made a good choice.

    Interesting... Just because someone owns something doesn't mean its the same product or as good of a product.

    I won't believe it's silent until SPCR reviews it.

    That's disappointing, the current Silencer series are priced great and have a 7 year warranty. That's industry leading.
    It is good to see them doing modular, however. They look sharp too.
