OCZ Unveils the New PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 860 Watt, an Ultra-Reliable Server-Class PSU Designed for a Wide Range of Applications Including Commercial, Industrial, and Gaming

Sunnyvale, Calif.—OCZ Technology Group, a worldwide leader in innovative, ultra-high performance and high reliability memory and PC components, today unveiled the new Turbo-Cool 860 power supply from PC Power & Cooling. Built for absolute stability and reliability, the Turbo-Cool 860 features adjustable rails, ultra-high efficiency, and a lifespan at least twice the industry standard. NVIDIA SLI certified to the highest level, the heavy-duty Turbo-Cool 860 is the ultimate power solution for today’s mission-critical and high-end gaming systems.

Continuing a long history of technical innovation and industry leadership, PC Power & Cooling has designed the Turbo-Cool 860 for optimum power distribution to all components by utilizing their customary "single +12V rail" design. Rated at 64 Amps continuous, this trail-blazing approach to +12V rail design ends the need to budget power "across the rails" as is the case with the less effective multi-rail design found in the vast majority of PSUs on the market today.

Each Turbo-Cool 860 allows the end-user to safely fine-tune the unit’s independently adjustable power rails (+3V and +5V) via two externally accessible pots. In the hands of an experienced user, the +12V rail can be externally fine-tuned as well. Unlike conventional industrial-grade power supplies, the Turbo-Cool 860’s form factor is standard ATX so it will fit all PC towers and cases.

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
