SilverStone Strider Gold S ST65F-G

Golden baby

Silverstone Strider Gold ST65F-G is the world's smallest (only 14 cm long) fully modular power supply. Typically, connectors for connecting removable wires are forced to lengthen the PSU body, but not in the case of Strider Gold. Moreover, you can easily dismantle absolutely all the wires, even the seemingly mandatory ones - for powering the processor and motherboard.

Italian spaghetti

The wires of the Strider Gold ST65F-G are made flat and pliable, which is why computer enthusiasts jokingly call them “noodles.” The length of the most problematic wires, the length of which is often not enough for hidden installation, for powering the motherboard and processor, is 55 and 75 cm, respectively; in principle, longer ones are not found. So cable management enthusiasts will be able to arrange them extremely carefully.

Honest Watts

On the main +12 volt line, the Strider Gold ST65F-G produces as much as 54 amperes, which equals 650 W, that is, one hundred percent of the declared power of the power supply. An excellent result, because in most cases this ratio does not exceed 90 percent. There are four video card connectors: two 8-pin and the same number 6-pin. This allows you to power a combination of two video cards with a power of up to 200 W each, for example GeForce RTX 2070 or Radeon RX Vega 56.

Fully protected

Inside the Silverstone Strider Gold ST65F-G there is Enhance Electronics and a quiet 12 cm fan (up to 18 dB). The high efficiency is confirmed by the 80 PLUS Gold energy efficiency certificate, that is, with a supply voltage of 220 V and half load, only 10 percent of the electricity turns into waste heat. All main types of protection are implemented: from overheating, overload, power surges, etc. In addition, this power supply has a very wide range of input voltage - from 90 to 364 volts, which is especially important for suburban areas, where the voltage in the household power supply often sags.
