PC Power PSU Users - Info Needed

[andyOCZ]

Hello Xtreme PC Power Users!

The guys at PC Power and Cooling in Carlsbad have a project they are working on and they asked me to post here for some user information.

They would like to know what cases (brand and model) you have mounted their larger sized power supplies in, and whether or not you had to modify your case to do so. They are in the process of compiling a list of cases that will accept their "deeper" than standard PSU lines.

The PSU's they want information on are:

Silencer 610 EPS 12v

Silencer 750 Quad

Turbo-Cool 1KW-SR


The Silencer models are 7.1 inches (18cm) deep (the dimension that slides into the case) and the Turbo-Cool 1KW-SR is 9.1 inches (23cm) deep.

Please list your information as follows:


PC Power PSU Model:

Case make an model:

Did you have modify your case?
If so, how?


If you want to measure your case to see if one of these PSU models will fit and let us know, look for any "stops" that would keep the deeper PSU from sliding in all the way, and also look for a top mounted fan that will get in the way. Both dimensions are critical.

Thanks!

psu-silencer 750 quad

case chenming 901AD-psu had to be mounted upside down,to fit the chenming psu bracket
no clearance issues

[Anemone]

750 Silencery Quad

Silverstone TJ07 - clearly no issues because this case has loads of room down there.

[TouGe]

PC P&C 850W --same length as the 1000W iirc.
Thermaltake Armor
Had to cut out a cross beam which connected the outside support arm to the back of the case. I also had to remove the top mounted fan since the PSU obstructs ~1/2 of the top exhaust.

PCP&C 850 SSI fits in an Antec 900 with no problems. No mods were necessary. Bottom mounted design.

[andyOCZ]

Thanks for the info so far guys!

PC Power PSU Model:silencer 750 quad

Case make an model: DangerDen Torture rack

Did you have modify your case: Yes
If so, how: The tab where the psu wire goes in its to big and hits the back of the mount. I just dremeled the case a bit and now it fits without pushing the psu all out of place. Had a friend do it on the tab of his psu as well.

I'll keep that in mind when I'm in the market for a new case, unless I can get my wife to change her mind on one of those UFO cubes :D.

[Anemone]

Cube cases are the cat's meow :)

PC P&C 750 Quad

Case: Stacker 810

24pin cable is not lengthy enough,ordered extension cable.

rant...

Later i came to know that PC P&C makes custom length cables if we order on phone,atleast i would have known this from sales person, while ordering ext cable and PSU same time.

[[XC] serlv]

Silencer 610
and
Silencer 750 ( pre-quad version )

I have two Silencer 750's in Cooler Master Stacker 810 cases. I also have a Silencer 610 that just arrived yesterday. It will be going in a Cooler Master Centurion 5. Although I haven't actually installed it yet, it doesn't appear that there will be any problems.

I wish that I'd known about the availability of custom cable lengths.......

[Mezzro]

Lian-Li PC-V2100 and PC-7077 full tower cases.

PC P&C 1KW in each case.

No modification required.

[SKYMTL]

Silencer 610W

Gigabyte Aurora 570: Fits with no problem

Antec Sonata III: VERY VERY tight with a drive installed in one of the top two 5.25" drive bays.

Silverstone Sugo SG03: Tight (duh) but with a few cuts, bruises and swearing it gets done.

Silverstone TJ10: No problem.

[andyOCZ]

Thanks guys! The info is much appreciated.

Any more?:D

Not a specific fit issue, but on the Tubo-cool's if the wiring harness could be moved to one side or another (as opposed to the middle) and one of the zipties on the outside of the housing dropped so it would be more felxible that would make wiring easier. At least for me anyway :D

Hello Paul, I'll pass that info on.

Thanks

[mutambo]

Please pass this to the sales team...

I wish that I'd known about the availability of making custom length cables.....

P.S Feeling glad that a manufacturer is asking for feedback.

[Movieman]

Enermax Chakra: PCP+C 610w silencer..
No issues
Lian Li G70; Same as above and no issues
Supermicro SC850 cube: same as above and no issues
Did make a custom plate for that as it's designed for a totall different style of PSU..

[andyOCZ]

Please pass this to the sales team...

I'll agree with that. The cables are stiffer than a ..well, awefull stiff.
great PSU though..Rock solid +12 on both the clovers and one is carrying a Swiftech H20-220 Ultra kit also..Still shows 12v even at 100% load..
Both been at 100% load 24/7 since December..

[andyOCZ]

Adding to my own list!

I just received word that the Silverstone TJ03 & TJ05 cases will take these PSU's without a problem.

[Vapor]

Silencer 610:
Lian Li S80, G70, PC-7+ and V2000 are all okay :up:

[Brother Esau]

Silverstone TJ06 Full Tower

PC-Power & Cooling Silencer 750w (First Model)

In my instance P.S.U 24 pin cutting it close on length IMO too short 8 pin CPU same opinion:cool:

[andyOCZ]

Any more guys?

[Pntgrd]

I just got my 850 SSI and will be putting it in a Stacker 830 EVO probably tonight. I will post back the results.


I got the 850 installed in my Stacker 830. It fits but I had to reverse the direction of my Raptor in the top. I had to turn it so the cables were to the front of the case instead of the rear. I also would recommend that the wiring harness be moved to either side instead of the middle. And also maybe toward the botton. In my application the harness is pressed up against the Raptor.

[andyOCZ]

One more bump and we call it good.

Any more additions?

Thanks

[mikead_99]

I got the PCP&C 850 SSI in a LL PC-65, had to take out the top case exhaust fan to do it though. Woulda been better off moving optical drives down from the top of the case but I was lazy so made it work. It's living in a TJ07 now though.

[\/ENDE][A]

Just finished fitting a Silencer 750 Quad in my T/Take Kandalf. Had to remove top blow hole fan and take out the croossbeam support which was secured by four small rivets, two minute job to drill them out! After that went in fairly easily.

[AAdjuster]

PSU-Silencer 750 quad Black

Fits perfectly in my Coolermaster 830 EVO, no mods needed .

[BucNastyHater]

Silencer 610. Alienware Predator v1.5, fits like a dream.

[stimpson]

crossfire 750. had to mount it up side down ,called yesterday to see if ok to do so .case antec p180 b

[andyOCZ]

Awesome input guys!

[David_L6]

610 and 750 both fit Stacker 810, Centurion 5, and 690 without problems.

[Jonesboy21]

750 Quad fit without problems in my Antec 900. I mounted it upside down so the wire bundle would be back towards the motherboard tray. I'm sure the 1KW model would fit too, looks like plenty of room for that extra length.
