I always wondered why more companies didnt do ‘silver’ rated power supplies, because they are better than bronze on an efficiency level, but not as expensive as gold. the price is great.
The embossing is nice, but its hard to see. my buddy has a silverstone PSU and they should tint it or something to stand out.
technically, they seem decent, but enhance are good.
Excellent all round pricing for the performance. I can’t justify spending over 200 quid on a PSU, but just over 100 quid, makes more sense.
Dont do what I did. spend a lot of time on a system build, cutting the case with a dremele and modding a nice panel.
Then spending 100 quid on a PSU which wasn’t modular. Routing the cables was a nightmare. fully modular for me all the time now.
Generally these are around 150-180. So its good to see some company with the sense to balance 80 plus bronze pricing with 80 plus gold efficiency and release a midway silver.
I agree with previous reader who said he doesnt understand why more companies dont aim at silver market. it seems the best price to efficiency balance to me.
