The Young Lin DFB132512H is rated to generate a maximum of 91.16 Cfm at 1,700 rpm. At full speed it is rated to emit just over 36 dBa.
The Active PFC design is by Enhance and it is populated by several hefty heatsinks on either side. There are two thermistors attached to the heatsinks, one to provide overtemperature protection and the other to control the fan speed. This supply is independently regulated.
Silverstone are using Japanese filter capacitors in the build, Nippon Chemi Con, which are rated 420v, 270 uF and to 85c. Other makes such as Teapo make an appearance on the secondary side of the unit. The power supply offers OCP, OPP, OVP, UVP, OTP, SCP and no load protection. The soldering work throughout seems to be of a consistently high standard.
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.
