SilverStone SX800-LTI – 800W Titanium SFX-L!!

Edit: Our review of the SilverStone SX800-LTI here. In the course of research for the Lian Li PE-750 review, I ending up checking the UL manufacturer directory listing for SilverStone and noticed references to a SX800-LTI. As I went over in the SX700-LPT review, according to SilverStone’s current SFF PSU nomenclature, the “SX800-LTI” model number translates to a 800W SFX-L Titanium-rated fully-modular power supply. Curious if this was real I contacted Tony Ou, SilverStone’s marketing manager, and even though he’s busy with Computex, he replied that it is indeed real, they announced it today, and it will (hopefully) be available in …

Lian Li PE-750 Review – An Unexpected Entrant

Lian Li is renowned for their aluminum computer cases, but they’ve also offered power supplies at various times, either as standalone units or as PSU’s that were bundled with certain cases. However, it hasn’t been a product category they’ve really pushed in the last several years – so it was about as expected as the Spanish Inquisition for Lian Li to suddenly announce two high-wattage SFX-L power supplies, which is exactly what they did early last month. The two new SFX-L units they first shared with the world in April were the PE-550 and the PE-750, and it’s the latter of which that is the subject of today’s …

The SFX PSU’s keep on coming: FSP set to launch 500W and 600W ‘Dagger’ line

And YOU get a power supply! And YOU get a power supply!.. Everyone gets a power supply! As if the highly anticipated Platinum-rated units from Lian Li and SilverStone weren’t enough, word on the street (where ‘the street’ is TechPowerUp) is that FSP’s looking to join the PSU fray with a pair of SFX units they’ve… interestingly enough… elected to call the “Dagger” line. (Hey, since when does size matter, right?) Ostensibly, these gaming-targeted PSUs are meant to provide a testosterone-pumping 500W or 600W of pure, raw electricity, to rigs replete with high end CPUs and enthusiast-grade graphics. Indeed, practically …

SilverStone SX700-LPT Review – It’s Finally Here!

This review has been a long time in the making. The SilverStone 700W SFX-L power supply – that later came to be designated the SX700-LPT – was first shown off ahead of the last Computex on May 27th, 2015, almost exactly a year ago. Since then, the PSU has made appearances at various industry conferences and events, as if to tease us. But now, the time has finally come, and the SX700-LPT is here! So what exactly is the SilverStone SX700-LPT? To explain this, I’d like to break down the model number because it contains the information we need, I’ve seen some …

Lian Li announces two SFX-L power supplies

Known for their quality aluminum cases rather than power supplies, today Lian Li announced two SFX-L power supplies, the Gold-rated 550W PE-550 and the Platinum-rated 750W PE-750. There is basically no information on these units available other than what’s listed on Lian Li’s website. They both share grill designs, what appears to be the same slim 120mm fan as the SilverStone SX500-LG, full modularity, and relatively short flat ribbon cables. Also, to avoid any confusion, despite the tagline in the marketing image these units are SFX-L, not SFX. The listings for both units mention that the fan voltage varies with both temperature …

Corsair SF600 Review – A New Player Has Joined

Welcome to this review of the highly anticipated Corsair SF600 SFX power supply! The SF600 is a 600W SFX form factor power supply, with Gold-rated efficiency, fully modular cables, all-Japanese capacitors, and a semi-passive 92mm fan. The SF600, along with the SF450, is part of the new SF Series of power supplies from Corsair, hopefully the first of many SFF-orientated units from the company. A disclaimer first before we get started though, SFF Network does not currently possess the expertise or equipment to fully test the electrical performance of PC power supplies and as such this article should not be the sole …
