The delivery found with the OCZ Silencer MK III 1200 Watt is very good. Even a high-end gaming system or an overclocking setup can be wired seamlessly. It's possible to NVIDIA SLI or AMD CrossFire setup with this PSU and up to twelve SATA devices can be connected to this unit. There is also the possibility to connect two EPS plugs to motherboards, which offer this feature. Another very special feature is the silent mode. Once you flip the switch above the main power connector it is activated. Now the 140 millimeter fan will remaind dead silent up to a load of 50 percent or in other words 600 Watts.
