Silver Power SP S460FL 460W Review (Fanless PSU)

The box art is informative, as it would appear that Gorillas secretly build computers in the jungle and like silent power supplies. We tried a handful of witty one liners here involving bananas and fans, but none of them really worked.

At least they have included information on the 80 Plus Certification and the 450W output, with ‘fanless' printed underneath.

Inside are two compartments, one with the power supply sandwiched in foam. Another with the cabling and peripherals.

The cables are stored in a ‘Silver Power' bag which is actually two separate pouches connected together. Underneath is a little user manual, mounting screws and a case badge.

The power plug is a high grade unit, with ‘bronze' sleeving. Very noticeable under bright light as shown above.

The pouch deserves special mention because unlike many manufacturers, they haven't decided to cram all the cables into a single, underspecified space. The two pouches can actually hold many more cables than those supplied.

Cable Connectors
ATX Connector (20+4) x1 (590mm)
CPU 4+4 pin x1 (650mm)
PCI E 8 pin (6 pin +2) x2 (600mm)
Sata power connectors x3 (550mm + 150mm + 150mm)
Sata power connectors x2 (350mm + 150mm)
Peripheral 4 pin (molex) x3 (500mm + 150mm + 150mm)
Peripheral 4 pin (molex) x2 (350mm + 150mm)

The cables are high quality and we like the extra length 4+4 pin CPU power cable which runs to 650mm. The cables run to mixed sizes to suit a variety of cases and help to improve routing.

  1. That is a really impressive design, but the price is only for a few people methinks.

    Think high end media center for a noise sensitive person.

  2. Nice design, has everything, then some. wattage is a bit low for £110 however. 850W power supplies are under 100 quid now.

    I guess you pay for the lack of noise emissions.

  3. A roaring Gorilla would indicate its damn noisy to me … lol
    The Seasonic this is modelled on is only another £7.20 which i would plump for if i was in the market for a fanless PSU.
