Packaging

As you can see in the photos above, the PSU I got underwent a rough journey, but everything thankfully arrived in pristine condition. At the front, Silverstone provides the series and model descriptions, along with a references to the complete lack of output noise. There is also a large Platinum badge in the top-right corner.


This side lists pictures of all available connectors, describing each individually. We would appreciate it if Silverstone were to add each cable's length to these descriptions.


The power specifications table.


Series, model, and efficiency information can be found on the box's bottom.


The back of box harbours several items. These include a multilingual features description, some graphs which depict the Platinum efficiency curve, a picture of the fully modular panel, and a note that point to the unit's great ripple suppression.

Contents

The PSU is fully protected by two thick cell foam pieces. It is because of them the unit reached our doorstep in immaculate condition. The unit is further protected by a black cloth bag.


The bundle includes a pouch for storing the modular cables, several Velcro-straps, and some zip ties, an AC power cord, and two informative manuals.

Exterior

The finish is of great quality, and the unit looks amazing! Its pale silver paint job is much nicer than Seasonic's dark finish. Silverstone has a great tradition in delivering beautiful and nicely designed products and this PSU is clearly no exception.


Lots of ventilation holes on this unit's casing increase airflow.


The specifications label is installed on the bottom.


Here is the fully modular panel, along with a notification that the unit's exhaust grill must always face upward in order to allow hot air to easily leave the unit's internals. If you install the PSU with the top exhaust grill facing downward, you will trap the hot air, which will cause problems as your PSU operates normally, while greatly reducing the durability of several components, like electrolytic capacitors.


Small dimensions, very nice looks, and a see-through enclosure are this unit's highlights.


All cables are stealth and almost all are flat. Only the main ATX cable is of the normal round variety.


Cable quality is pretty good overall.


Silver-colored cables would be a much better match for this unit, but such cables would obviously make the final price skyrocket.
