welcome to my unboxing and first look at the Silverstone sfx series 450 wat so
this is the St 45 sf- G sfx power supply
so this is a small power supply for cases such as the F3 mini I mean look
how small it is it's adorable look at
this thing it's like the cutest thing ever
see slick came all the way over here to see it you're supposed to be working
slick it's like half the size of a regular ATX power supply fully freaking
modular by the way 80 plus Gold by the
way this thing's awesome it's got a single 80 mm cooling fan back here which
is fine because it's only 450 WTS and it's 80 plus gold and it's fully oh man
this thing's so cool okay let's take out the uh take out the table
comes with an sfx to ATX adapter just in
case you wanted that for whatever reason although usually if I was buying an sfx
power supply I would buy it to go with my sfx case uh let's have a look at what
they've got on here in terms of specs so 80 plus gold is pretty close to 90 plus
it's like 90% optimal so that's at about
50% load and it lower goes at the lowest
about 87% load so realistically you're going to get anywhere from around 88% to
89% uh uh if efficiency out of it power
single powerful single 12vt rail perfect for high-end component upgrades so yes
you can run a real graphics card off this thing check that out one modular
cable oh look at thesea look at this cable
sleeving I think this is the high highest end cable sleeving I've seen
pre-installed on a power supply this is outstanding you can hardly see the color
at all this has yellow cables but you you like you can't see it at all even if
you bend it back oh this thing's awesome okay moving right along
um perfect for blah blah blah yes so right so there's a six pin and a 6 plus
two pin so you can put a high-end graphics card on it 100% modular cable
design for easy removal in a case with the cable routed and tied down this is
incredibly important with those small and cramped cases instead of pulling all
the cables out of everything to pull it out you can just go clip clip clip clip
clip clip clip take it out you know maybe even okay heaven forbid you know
knock on wood the power supply dies and you got to R it this is a lot easier
than undoing it from everything especially in those tiny tiny cramped
cases plus or minus 3% regulation and low Ripple and noise performance for
high stability this is good these are all good things and where is our actual
spec here so 37 amps on the 12vt rail almost the entire 450 wat output can be
done on the 12vt rail this is optimal for high-end graphics card
configurations operating temperatures 0 to 40c that's pretty aggressive okay
that's good um and then right so let's have a look at the included stuff so you
got a 20 plus 4 pin connector okay very
very short cable I mean this is not meant to be installed in a Corsair 800d
or or rather I should okay okay shouldn't be talking about core stair
cases I'm looking at Silverstone power supply here so not for a Silverstone
tj11 for example because it just would
not reach okay this is meant for small
cases uh next we've got a 4 plus 4 pin
connector for the CPU this one's a little bit longer because the
positioning of that connector can vary a fair amount on these uh on these small
form factor cases it really depends like sometimes it'll be here or here or here
or or wherever else you should be able to reach it just fine this is an
adequately long cable for that purpose uh We've also got a harness with three
SATA connectors and let's have a look at the length of that one I'm curious
because I will be doing a build with this power supply soon in the F3 mini H
yeah there you go that's pretty good so you've got you know there's a couple drives that are next to each other right
there I like that short run distance between them and then this is like an
auxiliary one like somewhere else and then finally you've got a harness with
two mox's and one floppy connector in case you still have any four pins in
your case standard power cable nothing to see here four black screws for
installing in your case and the power supply itself so there's your
Silverstone 80 plus gold gold colored
branding over here this thing is awesome Silverstone stamped logo on the top
Silverstone really is probably the most underappreciated brand of power supplies
in North America I mean they have fantastic stuff like The Strider 1500
watt was way ahead of its time with, 1500 watts 80 plus silver which at the
time was a huge deal and uh fully modular like there's nothing else like
it and it just seems people didn't get adequately excited about it I already
showed the 80mm cooling fan the honeycomb mesh at the back for more
Cooling and I think that pretty much covers it if you want 450 WTS of like
power in your hand then this is probably the way to do it or yet you could
install it in your computer case don't forget to subscribe to Line Tech tips
