AnandTech gets up close and personal with the Zippy Serene (GP2-5600V), a PC power supply unit that features 600 Watts, single 12V rail (40A), single 80mm fan, and mains power cord hook.
"... the Serene is a very good power supply with the best quality possible in the areas of design and components. The cables are long enough for most cases, and we only wish Zippy would have provided a little more choice on the PEG connectors since a 600W power supply is able to power up more than a single video card. The single 45A 12V rail should be able to handle high-end cards without difficulty, but many of those are beginning to require 8-pin connections, and we expect the next generation GPUs will increase that trend."
"... prices will likely be in the $170+ range, which is a lot to pay for a 600W PSU. On the other hand, the Zippy Serene is one of the best power supplies we have seen so far and should bring very stable and reliable service to any owners." [AnandTech]
As tested by AnandTech, the Serene indeed has a high Efficiency - 89%. In terms of efficiency, it tops the Zippy G1 600W (81%), and Silverpower 600W (85%). If you are willing to shell out almost 2 C notes for a 600-watt PSU, the Serene seems to be a great choice.
