SilverStone Strider Gold 1200W PSU Review (SST-ST1200-G)

The power supply is nicely understated and is finished with a high quality black, scratch resistant, lead free paint. It measures 150mm x 86 mm x 180 mm (WxHxD) and weighs 3.295kg.

The large 135mm fan takes centerstage, with the Silverstone logo in the middle. We liked the subtle embossing on the case which is not that evident on first glance. We deliberately underexposed the shot above (right) so you could get a better view of it. The anti scratch paint finish is very resistant to marking, which is always a bonus.

The vented front of the power supply which surprisingly has no power switch, just a power connector.

The power supply comes fully loaded with modular cables. It is a pure modular design meaning that every cable can be removed, even the necessary ones such as the 20/24 pin motherboard connector.

There is a label above the connectors, which gives an overview of what should be attached. They are also colour coded to make it simple for inexperienced users – the PCI-E connectors are all blue.

  1. yeah, that would do the job for hard core SLI setups. a few GTX590s, or even better four 580s 🙂

  2. I love the look of that PSU, good specs and the cabling is brilliantly handled.

    Quite a few good ones lately, Corsair, OCZ 1250, ADATA and this one.

  3. I like the way it comes ‘precabled’ although they should have included a storage pouch. no one will want all those cables hanging loose in a system.

  4. Very nice. under £200, thats a first for a 80 plus gold PSU at 1200W isnt it?

  5. Spectacular ! the box alone is worth the money :p
