Review on πŸ’‘ High Efficiency 700W SFX Power Supply - SilverStone SX700-PT with 80 Plus Platinum Certification by Kenneth Rich

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The power supply is ok, I'll take care of the cables.

In my first small form factor build using this PSU and NR200P. The cables are incredibly stiff compared to any other PSU I've used. Also, they're essentially "flat" in the old style, and not like other power supplies where the bundled modular cables are typically braided or braided (or both). Some of the modular cable configuration options are amazing. For example, I need a separate SATA power connector for the all-in-one I'm using. But for some reason this "SFF" power supply comes with two long 3x SATA power cables. If I were to build a full-size NAS box, that would certainly be great, but this power supply is designed for small form factor builds. Why does the SFF assembly require 6 SATA power cables? It would be nice if more attention was paid to the cables that accompany this power supply. Especially at this price.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • No mold required
