SilverStone has announced two new SFX PSU units. Its SFX line now counts seven models, four with modular cables and three with native.
The SX500-G and SX650-G are the newest SilverStone SFX units. Both feature a fully modular cable design, 80 PLUS Gold efficiency (no Cybenetics rating for the moment; it would be interesting to see the LAMBDA noise rating of those compact PSUs) and a 92mm diameter fan which promises quiet operation.
There is only a single +12V railand both units exclusively use Japanese electrolytic caps for increased reliability. The power density levels are extremely high, at 633W per liter for the SX500-G and 818W for the SX650-G. The provided modular cables are short, because an SFX unit will most likely be used in combination with a small chassis ,where longer cables can be a major problem. Both units are compatible with the PP05-L cable kit, however, which includes longer cables.
The SX500-G has two PCIe connectors, while the SX650-G is equipped with four. on the down side, both units have only a single EPS connector.
The suggested retail prices are $100 and $130 with a three-year warranty.
