Review on πŸ’‘ SilverStone Strider 1200W PSU, 80 Plus Platinum, Modular Power Supply - PS-ST1200-PT by Gavin Hernandez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good power supply, cheap cables.

The PSU itself was great. Quiet, durable and efficient. It's also surprisingly small. There's some density behind this, but I could probably build it into mATX if I tried. My problem is with cables. The tab on my 24-pin connector broke off for no reason. Lots of super glue and tape fixed the problem. Then I found out that the 8+4 CPU cables are only two inches shorter. I had to forego cables and just make a straight path from the basement to the CPU socket. This works, but now it means the pad isn't clean and I can't get the power brick out without first disconnecting the mobile device. You can tell they put a lot of love into the box but skimped on the cables. I could buy special cables for this PSU, but at this point I'd rather just buy a Corsair.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Waiting too long
