SFF.Network SilverStone Power Supplies at Computex 2017

We stopped by the SilverStone booth yesterday, and I already covered the prototype fanless 450W SFX-L because it’s just so crazy (in an awesome way). But of course SilverStone had other power supplies to look at, so here they are:

Good to see someone else get into the flexATX game. I wonder if this means Silverstone has a case in the works for the form factor. They must've had some cases on display, anything new?

man, with the hardware coming out, silverstone need to make a sfx 1200w soon.

Your link in the article to the forum is dead by the way.

Sorry, had to run to a presentation by ASRock then been busy. Fixed.

Might as well call it MJOLNIR at that point

Good news to see another Flex ATX power supply, does its fan ramp up and down with load/temperature? Or is it full rpm constantly?

 

[jeshikat]

I don't know on that. I did ask they not have the fan go full speed on power on though.

This is interesting though, a 60W Type-C adapter with multiple voltage output options. Great for powering different types of Type-C.

The USB Power Delivery spec specifies mandatory voltage support at different wattage levels, so everything over 45W has to support 5V, 9V, 15V and 20V.

Although 12V support is optional.

Imagine charging a phone with that though.

@Necere could you try to get one of these to test with the latest project? Curious as to noise levels

Yeah, we could probably get one. Might make a good candidate for the SFFN guys to do a review on it with a proper write up, too.

The fact that the 900w individual unit isn't usable for sff applications pisses me off.

 

[jeshikat]

It's useable, but it'll be difficult. First issue is figuring out how to wire up to the card slot connector then second issue is it doesn't have all the voltage rails for ATX so it'll need to be combined with something like the G-Unique.

I apologize for my ignorance but i looked at the link and i saw what appears to be a laptop style psu.

This is the 900W individual:

Its a beaut for sure

 

[iFreilicht]

YES! I knew it had to happen some day, and who if not Silverstone would be the first to release a good consumer FlexATX PSU?

My work on that front is done (not sure if I did anything to influence them in their decision, probably not) and I'm sure we'll see 500W in the future as well.
