Antec Truepower Quattro 850W vs Silverstone Decathlon 850W Review

Both the Quattro and the DA850 were quiet throughout the tests though their fans did noticeably pick up steam during the final Stress test. While the Antec stayed relatively cool through even the most extreme conditions we could put it under, the Decathlon’s heat rose quite a bit by the end of the final test. Thankfully, its 120mm fan proved to be more than capable of exhausting waves of heat from the rear of the unit.
