SilverStone SX700 80 Plus Platinum

SilverStone was also kind enough to provide us with their latest SFX PSU unit for this review in the 700 W SX700, which is fully modular and 80 Plus Platinum certified.


As with any such power supply, you will receive a power cable and mounting screws alongside a full set of nice and short, flat cables to keep the clutter inside your compact ITX build to a minimum. SilverStone also includes plenty of multi-lingual documentation right out of the box.


Even though the housing of the SX700 is of SFX size, thus making it noticeably shorter than an SFX-L variant, the connectors protrude a little bit, which I actually find beneficial. It allows you to feel your way around better should you have to wiggle a new cable in there with a full build. The unit also has a compact on/off switch, and both sides have their respective labels, one for the model and another to list its capabilities.
