The fan takes in a standard 4-pin PWM connection, and can draw up to 13.2 W. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Silverstone on Thursday launched the ALTA D1, a highly modular chassis meant for workstations, high-end desktops (HEDTs), and even SMB servers. This case was a star attraction at the 2024 Computex booth, and we covered it. The case is meant to be oriented as a full-tower, with several modular internal components that let you use the case in different ways. Don't want two PSUs? Replace the second PSU bay with a pair of 5.25-inch drive bays. Don't have a lot of add-on cards? Put that space to use for cooling or storage. There is a plethora of configurations possible with the various included components, cages, and bays.

The case's basic internal structure is horizontally partitioned, with the lower half containing the motherboard tray. There's room for an SSI-EEB (12-inch x 13-inch), or a larger specialized form-factor that's up to 15.12-inch x 13.2-inch. There's a total of 11 expansion slots, with almost 1.5x add-on card height clearance, so you can use the most bulky graphics cards or AI GPU cards with their 12V-2x6 connections sticking out from the top. You can even mount server-grade high airflow ventilation. The case includes a pair of 180 mm intake fans, and a 140 mm rear exhaust. There is a third 140 mm intake fan for the upper compartment. The upper compartment has a pair of rear-ended bays for either redundant-PSU, or single PSU, with the other bay holding a pair of 5.25-inch drives. Toward the front are a set of drive cages that can be arranged along the length of the case. You can even have a third PSU toward the lower half of the front-end. Available now, the case is priced at $799.99. You can add wheels to it for another $20.

SilverStone today introduced the FHS 140X, a powerful 140 mm fan meant to be used with radiators or heatsinks, or as high-pressure ventilation in server/workstation builds. This fan is 38 mm-thick, while standard 140 mm fans are supposed to be 25 mm in thickness. The impeller is geared for high airflow, and is turned by a high-power motor. This combination results in a stellar 10 mm H₂O static-pressure, and maximum airflow of 222.95 CFM, which it achieves at its top speed of 3,400 RPM. All this comes at a maximum noise output of 50 dBA, and a little over 13 W of power-draw (so you need to plan your fan-control setup carefully). The fan is clad completely in black, including the impeller and frame. A metal grill comes included, which you're recommended to place near the inlet. The company didn't reveal pricing.

SilverStone today launched the NovaPeak ARGB line of all-in-one liquid CPU coolers. These come in two variants based on radiator size—NovaPeak 360 ARGB and NovaPeak 240 ARGB. These coolers are characterized by a decorative acrylic ARGB diffuser on top of the pump-block, high static-pressure fans, and daisy-chained fan-cabling that reduces cable clutter. The pump features a 6-pole motor for greater endurance. It features a copper cold-plate and an aluminium chamber. The radiator is made of aluminium as well.

Each of the two or three included 120 mm fans comes with addressable RGB lighting, with the LEDs located in the impeller hub. The fans connect to each other with a convenient daisy-chaining cable that reduces clutter compared to Y-splitters. These each turn between 500 and 2,200 RPM, pushing up to 75.74 CFM of airflow at 3.4 mm H₂O static pressure, and 12-33 dBA noise output, depending on the speed. Among the CPU socket types supported are LGA1851, LGA1700, AM5, and AM4.

Update Aug 22nd: The NovaPeak 240 RGB is priced at $99.99, and the NovaPeak 360 RGB goes for $122.99.

SilverStone today introduced the FARA 514X and FARA 314X tower-type cases designed for space and high air-flow. The FARA 314X is a Micro-ATX tower, while the FARA 514X is an ATX mid-tower. Both cases are characterized by their mesh front intakes, and large included 140 mm intake fans, besides an included 120 mm exhaust fan); a tempered glass left side-panel, and room for graphics cards up to 36.5 cm in length, along with CPU coolers up to 17.3 cm in height. Both cases feature a horizontally partitioned layout, with the upper compartment holding the spacious motherboard tray, and the lower one with a PSU with up to 21.7 cm of room for the spaghetti.

The FARA 314X (model: SST-FA312X-BG) measures 220 mm x 410 mm x 412.4 mm (WxHxD), dry-weighing 5.76 kg. It offers 4 expansion slots, and supports Micro-ATX (or smaller) motherboard form-factors. Fan mounts include either three 120 mm or two 140 mm front intakes, which hold onto the two included 140 mm ARGB fans; and two 140/120 mm top exhausts, besides the obligatory 120 mm rear exhaust. Your radiator options include a 280 mm x 140 mm (or smaller) along the front intake, and another 280 mm x 140 mm (or smaller) along the top exhaust. The only drive bay is a 3.5-inch/2.5-inch in the bottom compartment, and there are three aditional 2.5-inch mounts along the motherboard tray. Front-panel connectivity includes two USB 3.x type-A, a 3.5 mm audio jacks.

While Silverstone's Computex 2024 booth is dominated with a new line of cases for AI workstations and servers, they also had several new white-themed gaming PC cases. These include the FARA 515XR, FARA 514X, SETA H2, and SETA H2M. The FARA 515XR is a mid-tower case for conventional-sized ATX setups, without the side-facing fan vents. Your radiator mounting options include a 360 mm (or smaller) radiator along the front panel, and a 280 mm (or smaller) along the top panel. You get four 120 mm RGB LED illuminated fans with the case. Clearances include graphics cards up to 36 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 16.4 cm in height. The FARA 515X is a variation to this case, with 20 mm additional width, and the flat front panel making way for a trapezoid one, which has fine perforations.

Next up, is the SETA H2M, a Micro-ATX variant of the SETA H2, which retains wide proportions of the original, so you could give it CPU coolers as tall as 180 mm, and a 120 mm rear fan. With the right floor planning, you can get a 360 mm radiator mounted along its front mesh intake that resembles the trapezoid intake of the FARA 515X; besides an additional 280 mm radiator along its top exhaust. The SETA H2 is its larger sibling with not just similar width and clearances, but also room for up to six 3.5-inch drive caddies that can be individually detached. So this case should favor those with lots of local storage.

As Moore's Law buckles, and cutting-edge CPUs and GPUs get more power-hungry, we're an upward trend in PSU Wattage across all brands at Computex. Silverstone is no exception, especially because the company brought a large selection of workstation and server cases to their booth this year, targeting the AI development and acceleration markets, particularly by startups and SMBs. The Hela-R Platinum series consists of medium-thru-high Wattage fully-modular PSU models.

The range starts at 750 W, with the Hela 750R Platinum, and goes all the way up to the Hela 2500R Platinum, with 2.5 kW on tap! The 750 W to 1600 W models use single fat +12 V rail designs, while the 2500 W model uses multiple +12 V rails. It also puts out multiple 600 W 16-pin power connectors. As their names suggest, all models in this series offer 80 Plus Platinum efficiency.

You install an M.2-2280 NVMe SSD inside, which is driven at PCI-Express 3.0 x4 (32 Gbps) speeds. An ASMedia ASM2564 bridge chip connects this to 40 Gbps USB4 over a single type-C cable. The enclosure is made of chunky extruded aluminium, its body doubles up as a heatsink.

SilverStone today introduced the Air Slimmer 140, a slimline 140 mm case fan. The fan comes with a thickness of just 15.5 mm, compared to the 25 mm that's typical of 140 mm fans. This should come in handy if you choose a thicker radiator, or are building an SFF machine. The fan features a copper fluid dynamic bearing, although the company didn't specify endurance numbers. The 9-blade impeller features what SilverStone brands as Shark Force patterns, which improve noise characteristics.

The fan takes in 4-pin PWM input, and supports ultra-low speeds. It turns at speeds ranging between 0 and 1,700 RPM, with a maximum airflow of 82 CFM, at 2 mm H₂O static pressure, and 33 dBA maximum noise. It includes cables for daisy-chaining. There are two key variants of the fan, the base variant comes with a black impeller and lacks any lighting, and then there's the Air Slimmer 140 ARGB, which has a white impeller and 9 LEDs studded in the hub. It takes in 3-pin ARGB input for the lighting. The all-black version is priced at $19.99, and the ARGB version at $24.99.

SilverStone today introduced the XE360-TR5, an all-in-one liquid CPU cooler for AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000-series processors in the Socket TR5 and SP6 packages. The cooler's design consists of a 1U-friendly waterblock, and a 360 mm radiator that integrates the pump and coolant reservoir, which is connected to the block over Nylon-sleeved tubing. The block features a nickel-plated copper main material, with metal alloy top. The cold-plate makes contact with the entire IHS of an sTR5/SP6 processor, providing cooling to all twelve CCDs and the large central sIOD. The pump integrated with the radiator is made as thin as possible using a 6-pole motor.

The 360 mm x 120 mm radiator is 28 mm-thick, and is made of aluminium, and connects to the water block over a 42 cm-long tubing. Each of the three included 120 mm fans turns at speeds ranging between 600 RPM to 2,800 RPM, pushing up to 87.72 CFM of airflow, at a radiator-friendly 3.09 mm H₂O static pressure, and 46 dBA maximum noise output. The company didn't reveal pricing.

SilverStone Technology, a pioneer in innovative computer hardware solutions, unveils its latest groundbreaking addition to the 19-inch rackmount server chassis market—the RM600 and RM61-312. Designed to exceed conventional standards, the RM600 represents SilverStone's bold venture into the 6U height form factor, showcasing unparalleled cooling performance and versatility for demanding server applications. Additionally, it serves as the foundation upon which the RM61-312 is built.

SilverStone's venture into rackmount workstation chassis with liquid cooling radiator support has opened new horizons for server infrastructure design, setting a precedent for enhanced cooling efficiency and adaptability. The RM600 exemplifies this pioneering spirit. Boasting a 6U height and 19-inch rackmount form factor, it offers unparalleled flexibility by integrating not one, not two, but a total three sets of 360 mm radiator support into its comprehensive design.

SilverStone today introduced the XE04-SP6P, a CPU cooler designed for AMD server/workstation sockets sTR5 and SP6, meant for those that use Ryzen Threadripper chips as server processors in rackmount cases as tall as 4U. The cooler is designed for thermal loads as high as 350 W, but is an aluminium fin-stack heatsink that measures 130 mm x 119 mm x 126 mm (WxHxD). This may look rather small for its thermal capacity in comparison to some desktop D-type coolers; but this is a server cooler, the desktop standards for fan noise go out the window, and a high-powered 92 mm fan is used to ventilate this thing. The cooler's capacity is mainly thanks to the high airflow.

The 92 mm high-powered fan comes pre-installed in a cavity between the fin-stack. It turns at speeds of up to 5,000 RPM, pushing 77.7 CFM of airflow at a phenomenal 10.67 mm H₂O static pressure, and a noise output of 43 dBA. The fan features double-ball bearings, and is rated for 90,000 hours. The nickel-plated copper base comes with a pre-applied thermal compound. From this base, six copper heatpipes convey heat through the fin-stack in a configuration similar to that of a D-type cooler. The cooler weighs 743 g, including its fan and factory-fitted RM. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Cooler Master has sued SilverStone, Enermax, and their common OEM, the Guangdong China-based Apaltek, for patent infringement of designs of their all-in-one, closed-loop liquid CPU coolers. The company has moved the United States District Court in the Central District of California, against the three companies for alleged IP violation in the design of its AIO CLCs. Cooler Master alleges that the three companies violate U.S. Patent numbers 10,509,446; 11,061,450; and D856,941 held by it. The infringing products referenced in the Lawsuit are SilverStone IceMyst 240, PF240, PF240W, IceGem 360, VIDA 240 Slim, and RGB Controller, and the Enermax Aquafusion ADV, Liqmax III ARGB, Liqtech 360 TR4 II Slim, and RGB Controller. Apaltek doesn't have any products in the retail channel under its own brand, but is being sued as the original technology supplier for SilverStone and Enermax.

Specifically, the Cooler Master suit alleges that the pump-inside-radiator design choice is a Cooler Master invention; as is the ARGB mini-controller. It also alleges infringement in the essential design of the coolers. It seeks damages and legal costs in Relief. One of the three defendants has reached out to TechPowerUp with a comment, in which it says that it finds it interesting that Cooler Master, which itself defended a similar patent infringement lawsuit against Asetek in 2016-17 would go on to allege patent infringement with smaller competitors such as Enermax and SilverStone, while leaving out certain other customers of Apaltek, such as MSI. They stated that they intend to defend their designs in the Court. This defendant termed Cooler Master's behavior as being that of a "bully."All pages from the Cooler Master lawsuit follow.

SilverStone today introduced its premium air based CPU cooler, the Hydrogon D140 ARGB (model: SST-HYD140-ARGB). As its name might suggest, this is a D-type (dual fin-stack) cooler that uses fans as large as 140 mm for ventilation, and hence fits into the large+heavyweight category of air coolers, targeting the segment of the market that really wants to avoid AIO coolers. The cooler uses a mirror-finish nickel-plated copper base, through which six 6 mm-thick heatpipes pass, which skewer the two fin-stacks on either of their ends. The two fin-stacks are capped off by a top-plate.

There are two fans involved in ventilating the heatsink, meant to be installed in a push-pull configuration. The "push" fan is a 120 mm, while the "pull" fan, located between the two fin-stacks, is a larger 140 mm spinner. Both fans come with addressable RGB LED illumination, and feature hydraulic bearings. The 120 mm fan turns at speeds ranging between 500 to 2,200 RPM, pushing up to 83.68 CFM of airflow at up to 4.01 mm H₂O static pressure, and up to 35.5 dBA of noise. The 140 mm fan, on the other hand, turns between 400 to 1,750 RPM, pushing up to 93 CFM of airflow at 2.24 mm H₂O static pressure, and up to 30.8 dBA of noise. With its fans in place, the cooler measures 140 mm x 160 mm x 136 mm (WxHxD), weighing 1.22 kg. Among the CPU socket types supported are LGA1700, AM5, LGA1200, AM4, and LGA2066. The company didn't reveal pricing.

SilverStone today introduced what is possibly the highest Wattage PSU in the SFX-L form-factor, the Extreme1200R Platinum. This contemporary PSU meets SFX12V 4.1 specification, which is comparable to ATX 3.1, along with PCIe CEM 5. It includes a native 12V-2x6 power connector capable of 600 W continuous power delivery and excursions within the PCIe Gen 5 spec. 12V-2x6 is a successor to 12VHPWR, and is designed to be less flimsy and prone to burn-outs than 12VHPWR, from improper connector coupling or cable bending.

The SilverStone Extreme1200R Platinum delivers 1200 W using a single 100 A +12 V rail, with Cybenetics Platinum rated switching efficiency. It comes with an all Japanese capacitor design, with most common electrical protections, against over/under voltage, overload, overheat, and short-circuit. A 120 mm fluid dynamic bearing fan is used to keep cool. Connectors include a 24-pin ATX, two 4+4 pin EPS, a 600 W 12V-2x6, four 6+2 pin PCIe, eight SATA power, three 4-pin Molex, and a Berg. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Most of us are fortunate enough not to need a monster power supply in our PCs, but for those that do, SilverStone has launched an updated version of its 2050 Watt HELA 2050 power supply, simply named the HELA 2050R. It delivers no less than 170 Ampere on its 12 V rail and SilverStone claims a power density of 882 Watts per liter. The updated version comes with a pair of 12VHPWR connectors, with one modular cable with two GPU connectors and one modular cable with a single GPU connector.

The HELA 2050R is rather amazingly only 180 mm deep and in addition to the 12VHPWR connector it also has three standard 6+2 GPU connector with support for up to 14 GPU connectors, as well as support for up to 12 SATA drives, three Molex connectors, one floppy drive type connector and of course, the standard ATX and EPS power connectors. Note that the HELA 2050R is limited to 200-240 Volt input, as a standard 115 Volt outlet would be limited to 1650 Watt. No pricing was announced, but considering that the HELA 2050 is retailing for well over US$500, it's not expected that the 2050R will be any cheaper.

SilverStone introduced the XE360-SP5, an all-in-one liquid CPU cooler for AMD Socket SP5, making it fit for servers and workstations based on the EPYC "Genoa" and "Genoa-X" processors, and its upcoming Ryzen Threadripper HEDT processors, assuming AMD sticks to this socket infrastructure. The cooler features a copper water block that's optimized for the chiplet design of Socket SP5 processors, considering the hottest components (the up to twelve "Zen 4" CCDs) are toward the edges, and the central region has the relatively cooler sIOD. The block does not have an integrated pump, which makes it 1U-capable. It measures 92 mm (W) x 25 mm (H) x 118 mm (D). The block is made of nickel-plated copper, with come of its structural parts being made of aluminium.

A set of 46 cm-long coolant tubes connects the block to the 28 mm-thick 360 mm x 120 mm radiator. This radiator has an integrated pump that turns at speeds of up to 4,000 RPM. A set of three SilverStone 120 mm fans comes included, each of these takes in 4-pin PWM input, turns at speeds ranging between 600 to 2,800 RPM, with a noise level of up to 46 dBA, airflow of up to 87.72 CFM, and 3.09 mm H₂O pressure. The company didn't reveal pricing.

SilverStone earlier this week announced the SUGO 17, a stretched version of the SUGO 16 that the company had launched in 2021. These are compact cuboidal tower cases. The new SUGO 17 is significantly deeper, with dimensions of 202 mm x 451 mm x and 286 mm (WxDxH), with the added depth creating room for a large, contemporary enthusiast-class graphics card that is 4 slots thick, and up to 40 cm in length, and 17.4 cm in height. SilverStone advertises this firmly as a Micro-ATX case, as it has 4 expansion slots exactly where you'd want them. Nearly every air-cooled, custom-design GeForce RTX 4090 or Radeon RX 7900 XTX that we know of, should fit comfortably.

The SilverStone SUGO 17 orients the Micro-ATX/Mini-ITX motherboard upside down, similar to BTX, so the upper compartment of the case is made entire up for room for the graphics card, without needing any PCIe risers, while the bottom half has room for a tower-type CPU cooler that's up to 15.8 cm in height. The frontal region of the case has room for a standard ATX (PS/2) PSU, but you can also use smaller SFX-L or SFX PSUs. Ventilation features include three 120 mm or two 140 mm fan vents along the top, three 120 mm along the right side, four 80 mm along the left side, and a 120 mm rear exhaust. Storage options include two 2.5-inch mounts, and a 3.5-inch bay that can also be used to hold onto a third 2.5-inch drive. You can mount liquid cooling radiators as large as 360 mm along the top- and right-side panels. The case comes in black and white color variants.
