Description of π» SilverStone ML03B MicroATX Power Supply
- 1) Appearance. Looks solid at least. The only not very pleasant moment, in my opinion, is the corrugated front panel (looks like it was milled); 2) Dimensions. The case is compact, but at the same time roomy; 3) Compatible with conventional ATX power supplies; 4) The manufacturer carefully put a set of fasteners, including several reusable clamps for tying forever tangled cables. Fasteners for 4 coolers (on the right side) are not included. In addition, silicone anti-vibration pads are installed on one seat under the hard drive. The kit includes instructions in 2022, as well as a filter grill on a magnetic mount for installation above the CPU cooler. By default, the same filter, only on ordinary bolts, is installed under the power supply; 5) The presence of USB3.0 connectors on the front panel; 6) Made with high quality, strong. There is a removable rib (although structurally it is not a rib at all) of stiffness, which allows you to install any not very heavy objects on the case, such as a small TV. In the slots for expansion devices (PCI, PCI-E), by default, not blind plugs are installed, but perforated ones with holes. In addition, the attachment of expansion devices itself deserves special praise - first it (the device) is inserted into the counterpart (there are special grooves for this purpose at the bottom of the case), and then it is bolted from above. It turns out unrealistically strong and reliable.
- 1) You need to carefully choose a cooler for the processor. Only low-profile coolers are supported (which is not surprising given the size of the case); 2) Not enough space inside. Despite the fact that, according to the manufacturer, you can install two 3.5 "and one 2.5" or 5 2.5" hard drives in the case, you really canβt turn around there. Either the cables from the power supply are in the way, or something else will definitely prevent you from installing it correctly. In my In this case, 1 hard drive bay (under the drive) had to be sacrificed for the sake of laying extra cables from the power supply. But even so, I can hardly fit a 3.5" hard drive and there is room for one 2.5" hard drive (plus a free slot for an optical drive) Perhaps the situation will change using a PSU with detachable cables, or a more compact PSU; 3) There may be problems with the cooling of the components (but most likely there will be no such problems); 4) The body is painted with very bad paint! It so happened that I had to install the coolers on the side twice (there are 4 seats on the right). On the second time, all the paint crumbled from under the bolt.
- - Qualitatively executed; -Good equipment; -Available instruction.
- Didn't find it.
- + thick metal + a lot of places for garter ties + low, only 2U + lots of space for fans
- - unpainted inside - compartment 5.25 has a narrowed frame, because of which my drive did not fit
- Just a good desktop. Who is looking for such a thing for HTPC.
- The interior space is not very well designed in my opinion. Overall, though, I didn't do too badly.
- 1. View 2. Price 3. It costs productive iron, it cools well, although it can be better, but then you need to increase the size of the case.
- If you do not find fault with trifles, then no.
