SilverStone Ready with a 700-Watt SFX-L Power Supply
SilverStone is flexing its engineering muscle, to woo the compact gaming PC community that the SFX-L form-factor of power supplies have arrived, and ready for multi-GPU. SFX-L is slightly bigger than SFX but significantly smaller than ATX. The company is ready with a 700-Watt PSU in the SFX-L form-factor. Part of the company's new line of SFX-L category with the SFX series, the lineup will be led by the 700W SX700-LPT, and possibly followed by lower wattage models in the future. The company pioneered this form-factor with the 500W SX500-LG, earlier this January. The new PSUs will likely have enough juice and straws for gaming PC builds with up to two graphics cards. The SX700-LPT will boast 80 Plus Platinum efficiency ratings and the company is expected to show them off at Computex 2015, this June

I suppose Silverstone will launch an ITX SLI/Xfire case along with this :confused:
Dual Titan-Xs here I come :D

This will make for some sweet SFF builds! haha

140mm ATX: 1.81L
SFX-L: 1.03L
In depth it's not much smaller than 140mm ATX but in volume it is.That's it :)
I've built with both. Including using the SFX-L with a bracket in a case that normally uses an ATX PSU.
If you have one or the other installed in the same case, you really don't gain any appreciable space by going from an ATX to an SFX-L. SFX, on the other hand, gives you significant space savings.
I'm not sure if SFX-L has any real advantages over SFX other than the ability to fit a 120mm fan. I guess they just want a little more room to fit more components to make these higher-wattage units. Once they can hit ~850W it should be enough to handle an LGA-2011-3 chip and a dual-GPU card in a case smaller than my cable box.
If the 390X is up there with the 290X like some of the leaked figures suggest it'll be right on the edge.
But I'm more concerned with noise than performance so even if I wasn't power limited I wouldn't overclock. At stock clocks my 5930K is surprisingly coolable, I have the Noctua L9x65 on it with a 92x25mm fan on it and even running light 3D renders it doesn't get very loud.
