Silverstonetek St-460w PSU
Tonite we seem to have a very nice 460W quiet power supply review up for you guys. Silverstone sent us their latest addition to their PSU series which is the 460W PSU. We will test this under load and under idle use to see how good the 12 and 5 v rails really are.

The product:

This Silverstone box is standard on all their power supplies. The power supply is very well packed though and with it we have a power cable and a small manual to get this going.

This power supply is equipped with a 120 mm fan to cool it down and also to bring down the noise level. We can clearly notice the difference between a 80 and a 120 mm fan. The power supply runs very quiet as you almost have to put your ear to it to be able to hear the fan.

The back of the power supply is equipped with air venting holes to get the hot air out of the PSU. 12V1 and 12V2 should have 14 and 15A output. As to whether it really does will be seen later on in the review.

The ATX cable has a cable sleeving to keep the cable together and to make it look a bit nicer in the case. I wish they would have sleeving on all the cables as that would make it so much easier for everyone to keep the case clean and to maximize airflow. 8 molex connectors are included for you to be able to power up everything in the case, and not to forget 2 SATA power connectors.
