2008-04-03

Sunnyvale, Calif.— April 3, 2008— OCZ Technology Group, a worldwide leader in innovative, ultra-high performance memory and PC components, today announced the release of all-new additions to the Silencer line of power supplies from PC Power & Cooling including a 500W EPS12V and Dell™ compatible model. The efficient and economical 370W, 420W, and 500W Silencers offer mainstream system builders and professionals a robust power resource at an affordable price point.

Continuing a twenty-three year history of technical innovation and industry leadership, PC Power & Cooling designed the Silencer 370, 420, and 500 with a single +12 Volt Rail for optimum power distribution to all components. All the new Silencer models are certified under the 80+ efficiency program so they run cool and save on utility power.

"I am pleased that PC Power & Cooling is able to offer exceptional Silencer series performance and reliability at such an affordable price point, " stated Doug Dodson, founder of PC Power & Cooling and CTO of Power Management for the OCZ Technology Group. "The Silencer line now offers every type of computer user an option for the premium power management of their system."

The Silencer 370, 420, and 500 offer a range of power for mainstream gaming, home theatre, and work station PCs. The 500W series features a specialized Dell version that allows Dell owners to upgrade their systems with the latest components including any of the new power-hungry high-performance video cards. Ideal for PC users who prefer a straight-forward, value-minded PSU, the Silencer 370, 420, and 500 provide cool, quiet, and reliable power.

The lower wattage configurations provide the necessary power for desktop computing setups, ensuring you won’t pay extra for a higher wattage unit that would be overkill for a modern mainstream system. Even at peak loads, the new Silencer series, with its ultra-quiet fan and proprietary inlet design, remains virtually silent, ideal for media PCs and noise-conscious environments.

All Silencer power supplies are backed by a leading 5-Year warranty commitment and the in-depth knowledge of PC Power & Cooling technical support.
