Lian Li Launches the All New Silent Force PSU Series
Lian Li Industrial Co. Ltd has launched the Silent Force Power supply unit (PSU) series. After one year in development, and with strict attention to detail, the Silent series has been extensively researched to make it stand out from the crowd. The Silent Force PSU's offer outstanding cooling while containing noise from fans, and also offers safety features with 80 Plus certification showing Lian Li's commitment to quality, while exemplifying Lian Li's attention to detail through craftsmanship.
The Silent Force complies with the newest Intel standard ATX 12V V2.3 & EPS 12V rail systems, while the environmentally friendly design for energy saving with Active PFC (>0.9) / High efficiency (>80%) complies with the best standards in the industry. Hosting a complete range from 650Watts, 750Watts, and 850W the Silent Force PSU's are designed for the discerning enthusiast who is looking for peace of mind.
The features include 135mm fan for larger volume of air at lower RPM, thus reducing the noise and improving the cooling performance. Additional features include Power Failure Detection with OVP/OCP/OLP/SCP/UVP/OTP, plus support for multi-core CPU and Multi GPU/graphics cards systems. The superior Japanese capacitor components bring long lasting durability and quality for the ultimate in stable power output.
The modular cable management allows for fewer cables in your case according to your needs, and a more convenient cable arrangement without inhibiting airflow as seen in standard situations. The PCI-E connector has bead-core protection to minimized electromagnetic interference (EMI) for a cleaner throughput. In addition the cables have special sleeves to improve airflow through your case. The universal input accepts between 100V-240V and has a power switch at the back for added safety and convenience. The 135mm ball bearing fan gives consistent and quality airflow across specially designed heatsinks that have a special rippled surface to improve the surface area for superior thermal cooling performance. The uniquely coated outer casing has honeycombed venting for excellent air-flow and ventilation.
With clean and stable power driving your PC via the Silent Force PSU and the multi 12V rails output and bead core protection for the PCI-e connectors, failsafe safety protections, and 80 Plus output plus large 135mm silent fan all combined from a full year in development to give the Silent Force PSU superior quality than anything else you are likely to get. Silent Force PSU's have today what PC enthusiasts need tomorrow!

13 Comments on Lian Li Launches the All New Silent Force PSU Series
I'd be interested in seeing a round-up/review/comparison of all the prominent "quiet" or "silent" PSU offerings on the market. :hint: :hint: ;)
I'd hate to be too picky, but this 'bead' they are talking about is a little bulky and sits right at the gfx molex.. Other than that, specs look good, case looks nice, but not as nice as I would expect from them.. And too bad most will never see that pretty copper..
EDIT:
And can someone tell me why most makers leave about 1/2" to 1" of exposed (un sleeved) wire right at the psu? They cover all but that up, and that's what you can't hide..
As for money, I'd see 150~200 USD being reasonable for the 850w. Although, I'd be reluctant to spend more than 150 on a PSU unless it was one of those 1kw+ beasts
still thats a lot of amperage on a whole for the whole unit!!! (My Galaxy 1000W is only 90a)
I wonder where they are licensing the technology from... who actually makes the insidfes of these PSU's becuase im pretty sure that Lian Li dont.
I understand why it's not 30a on all four rails, but I was just wondering why it's the last two and not the first two.
Single rail all the way ;)
And no multi rail psu on the market can run all the 12V rails at full spec simultaneously. that's why a combined amperage rating is given, so you don't exceed the psu's overall capability.
The market has now changed. We dont buy case+PSU combos anymore. Can Lian Li turn back the clocks? Too late IMO.
