4 Comments on Sharkoon Announces SilentStorm SFX Power Supply Series
i have a 300w bronze BeQuiet! in my mITX build, but with what i have inside its enough :D that Sharkoon would be a tad overkill (well 300w is also a bit ...)
sidenote: i love the generalizing of flat cables in PSU nowadays, my Seasonic in my mainrig use the same kind.
not a bad supply to use, but keep in mind it is a SFX-L, and is an inch longer than normal. some cases might not fit it.
