Strider 750W Power Supply

The Strider power supply is Silverstone's enthusiast model, offering solid performance with modular cables in the medium price range. It is only topped by the Decathalon series, which features the same modular system, but with a single, powerful rail instead of the seperate ones found in the Strider. The compact package has an image of the PSU and also clearly states the power capability of 750W. Considering that the series starts at 350W and goes all the way up to 1200W, there is bound to be something in there to fit your needs.


You will find some screws, Velcro cable ties, the power cables and two manuals. One of which is specifically for the Silverstone Strider 750W while the other is a general one with all the PSU offerings of the company.

A Closer Look

The entire PSU comes pre-assembled. This means that all cables are attached right out of the box. Considering the large amount of connectors, I doubt you will need all of them. The Strider is quite heavy, fairly large and features an embedded Silverstone company logo on the underside.


The fan looks quite miniscule when compared to other units which feature a 135 mm unit instead. It does cool the unit in a quiet manner, so you won't have to worry about the noise level of the part. The air grill on the rear of the unit does not bear any surpises. The PSU accepts between 115V or 240V so there is no manual switch required. The connectors are partially of the standard variety, as the 24-pin ATX, CPU power, PCI-E and Molex use identical plugs on either end of the cable. Only the SATA branches have been united into one large plug. Each of the connectors is clearly labeled by a diagram.


There are three small dials, giving you the option to fune tune the PSU. If you do not know what these are for, I would suggest to leave them alone. The unit works fine right out of the box, so for most users there is no need to tune the Strider in any way. The other side has a sticker which holds all the data about the unit's capabilities.
