SilverStone SX1000 INTRODUCTION

Since its launch in 2015, the SFX-L form factor has garnered popular recognition and support among enthusiasts with its larger 120mm fan able to achieve better balance of power and quietness in small form factor PCs than what was possible with standard SFX. And as a leader in power supply...

1000W but Platinum only, compare to the previous 'flagship' that was 800W Titanium

Semi passive mode until 200W

Flat cables for easier bending and cramping compare to sleeved

Go or no go? ? ? ?

I rather want a Flex-ATX 600W... They can obviously pack a lot of power in these, nice to see!

Flex is a no-go for me, can't be asked to mod Noctua fans on them haha

Well, that's the only downside. Sadly there are not many alternatives if you want to build sub 5L. I think I have tried every orientation there is the past months...

I'm firmly in the 8-12L bracket now so don't mind too much that this is SFX-L. 5L is just too restrictive in terms of what graphics card can be used so not my cup of tea.

I'm planning on a sub 4-5L, fully watercooled 3080 and 5950X. I wouldn't say it is that restrictive It all depends on me finding a 600W+ Flex-ATX that is reliable though. Don't want to burn my components after trying to find a 3080 (and still looking) for months.

I like those new ZS cases that allow long GPUs but have the FlexATX mounted in the front. Seems to be a real nice layout.

Enhance 600W?

Enhance 600W?

Yes, but I have not seen many reviews of it, I know some people here have been vouching for it, but I've seen a couple of bad reviews as well.

Its a great PSU. easily the best in the form factor. I'm using two of them in two different builds and one has been powering my main 3950x/2080ti system since may with no issues or noise problems

Looking back at my SF750 in jealousy!

I will patiently wait until the noise reviews are up. My Corsair 600 had too much noise, the Silverstone 700 sfxl-l makes too much noise in load (the up and down is a big, big difference, we'll see about this one.

I wish a fan transplant was easier on the 700, probably a better fan would've solved my problems.

That's the main reason I held back the loud fan noise reviews, some even when idle. I do want that SilverStone 1000w SX!

Is everything good so far with this SilverStone SX PSU, as far as Fan noise or any other issue?

I don't have the PSU and the owner has not posted any further update since

 

[MarcParis]

Please wait for SX1000. Early reports are showing same issues as SX750 with faulty fan control (basically fan is spinning at max speed from start).

To be investigated.

I can't believe I'm still reading Silverstone SFX PSUs having fan issues, is this 2014 ? Did I go back to the past ?

I guess some companies never learn

Also just look at these reviews (Don't buy it yet!):

 

[MarcParis]

Well it seems that silverstone is not alone to struggle with 2020 sfx psu...here is a video with faulty v850 sfx from cooler master with a different issue on fan management :

This hits way to close to home. Especially after Corsair proved you could do things quietly.
