Exactly what I needed

It was exactly as advertised, no damage whatsoever and was just what I needed to get my computer back in great working order! I installed it for a few months, ran a few heat intensive programs and had no problems.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Some problems

These little SFX units are the best around

I bought a couple of these SilverStone SFX power supplies. The first (model 450) is still in use after 5 years. These little SFX units are the best out there. Be sure to choose the gold modular model with flat cable. Very quiet when not under full load.

Pros
  • Best in their niche
Cons
  • Annoying

Will be delivered without ATX 12V cable for CPU. Absolutely useless. The instructions were absolutely awful, taking me over two hours to figure out that the cable just wasn't in the box. Assembling IKEA furniture WITHOUT instructions would be more understandable than these awful instructions. I've built three PCs with different power supplies and this is by far the worst I've ever come across. I would buy Wish's KingStarLuckyDragin power supply before considering Silverstone again.

Pros
  • Glitter
Cons
  • Weight

Various supplied cables can be used.

Although it's the only 12V bus, it comes with two 8-pin, single-port PCI cables. SX650-g comes with a double cable. Creates more clutter than necessary in a small assembly. There was a kind of DOA. It powered up the system and ran at 8700k and 1070 with no issues, but crashed almost immediately when using a 3D game on the 1080ti (although Furmark was able to run for a while). Tested with my old Silverstone 450 and the 1080TI system worked without any issues. Got a refund and ordered the 650…

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Upgrades
