puzzled Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 Has anyone tried one of these yet: http://www.silverstonetek.com/products-op1000.htm It looks like it has a healthy 80 amps on a single 12 volt rail, with 88 peak amps available. 1000 watts continuous, with 1100 peak available.

Gipse Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Looks nice. But I can´t believe the details about the noise level... It uses only one 80mm fan, can´t be that silent. Gipse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Esau Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Jonny Guru says the fan is loud but its a Bad butt P.S.U Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
puzzled Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 There really isn't anywhere to attach a fan inside the front of the power supply casing. It would have been nice if they had made the case a little longer and supplied an inlet fan to go along with the outlet fan. What about perforating the casing to allow cooler air from inside the PC case to be drawn through the PSU? Would this keep the fan speed & the accompanying noise level down?

Brother Esau Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Why? If the 600.00 pc power & cooling does not have it what would make you think the 340.00 silverstone has one? Trust me dude Silverstone is a great psu and also a great company to deal with and buy stuff from! All of their products are top shelf I will attest to that!

It uses only one 80mm fan, can´t be that silent.Gipse Ive got a Silverstone Zeus 750W, and I'm guessing it's the same 80mm fan. And yes, when things start to heat up, and the fan starts to crank up, it's way too loud. Makes me miss my old Enermax Liberty at times. But yes, aside from the noise, this unit seems bulletproof. Silverstone units are top shelf, its just a shame the about the noise. I'm thinking about seeing if I can find a replacement fan.

Retrospekt Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Thats awesome, but who needs that much power except for servers with many scsi hdd's and dual cpu's? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me dude Silverstone is a great psu and also a great company to deal with and buy stuff from! All of their products are top shelf I will attest to that! Who knows what limitations were placed on the designers? Why do our own personal rigs have more than the stock amount of fans if what the manufacturer put in there was adequate? I have a Thermaltake Purepower 680w. It has the cross-flow fan set-up & is quiet. Here is the PC Power and Cooling Turbo-Cool 1KW: Notice the front side is perforated with holes. It's not completely sucking PSU air out of the casing, it's moving interior PC case air over, through, & out of the PSU. It just doesn't have the inlet fan on the front.

puzzled Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 I installed it yesterday. I had to modify the mounting of it because it's about 1/4" longer than the PSU cage. The PSU cage in the CM Stacker is longer than most to start with. I used 4 motherboard standoffs to fill in the space between the PSU mounting plate & the case itself.

puzzled Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 After using it for a day, it's definitely much louder than the Thermaltake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doglips Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 Just changed out my old Thermaletake480Purepower for a SilverStone 560wZF..Ya a little louder but worth it..TOP of the heap as far as PSU go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
