Review on πŸ’‘ Silverstone Tek Strider Series 550W 80+ Gold PFC Power Supply with Full Modular Cables ST55F-G - ATX12V/EPS12V by Djuan Thompson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great for my application

I'm running a relatively small and compact micro-ATX tower case, the Silverstone TJ08E, which I got from Revain. http://www.amazon.com/Silverstone-Tek -Micro-ATX-Mini-DTX-TJ08B-E/dp/B005DDCDH2 I specifically chose this PSU for its compact size, it's about 10mm shorter than the others, that I have. I've seen it really help with cable management since the PSU is mounted on top of the aforementioned Silverstone case and you have limited space between the PSU and the back of the optical drive. Full modularity also helps a lot, I only connected the cables I needed. This device supports Gigabyte Micro-ATX AMD motherboard, AMD Phenom II X4 Black Edition processor, Corsair H80i CPU cooler, MSI Power Edition Geforce GTX 660Ti, 1WD Black graphics card. 1TB HDD and 1 x Kingston NOW 300V 240GB SSD and regular DVD burner. This PSU is pretty quiet, but it's not one of those "quiet" PSUs where the fan is off until needed, the fan runs at low speed all the time. until it really needs cooling, then it picks up speed. It powers the parts listed above with no hiccups or failures, the compact size and full modularity is a huge bonus, I recommend it.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
