Looks to be based on the Silverstone models

Yup, they're definitely Enhance units like the ST45SF-G and SX600-G. I'm really curious what the price will be, if it's not a fair bit cheaper than the Corsair's then I see no reason to buy these unless they've magically pulled a lot more performance out of the platform than SilverStone did.

This market is sure growing

Did they just take over the production of Silverstone's old units? Yeah, unless they've slashed the price of these, I don't see the point.

That could be it, SilverStone will have the SX650-G and SX500-G out later this year and those will be made by High Power. I imagine those will be replace the ST45SF-G and SX600-G and not complement them.

Suggested retail price is $89.99 for the 450W and $119.99 for the 600W.

If they actually sell at MSRP then meh, but if street price comes in under that then it's not too bad considering the 7-year warranty.

I'm wondering if Enhance gave Thermaltake and Lian Li a good price on this platform since they're both using it.

Info on the SX650-G?

This covers the basics: https://smallformfactor.net/news/new-silverstone-sfx-power-supplies-92mm-fan

I've since learned they will not be semi-fanless and they're supposed to come out this year but I still haven't gotten a solid release date yet.
