There is no doubt that the SilverStone Strider Titanium ST70F-TI is one of the highest grade 700 watt power supplies available on the market today. Titanium power supplies are still rather expensive, with this particular model hitting UK retail at £120 inc vat.
The SilverStone Strider Titanium ST70F-TI has been specifically designed to fit inside an environment with restrained physical limitations. At only 150mm deep it will cater to the user building a high end system inside a diminutive case – firmly targeting the audience who don't want to accept power compromises just because they are building a smaller system.
Silverstone have adopted a popular 120mm Fluid Dynamic Fan (Model: HA1225H12F) which we have glimpsed inside some high grade Seasonic power supplies in recent months. It is generally very quiet although under higher load levels it becomes audible, clearly exacerbated by the limited physical dimensions of the ST70F-TI chassis.
Technically the ST70F-TI is very strong, load regulation is good across the range of output, and ripple suppression is close to class leading. The +3.3V and +5V rails hold at 10mV and 15mV respectively when under full load. The +12V rail hits a peak at 25mV at full load. The uncompromising adoption of 105c Japanese capacitors throughout will ensure long term stability and reliability.
If you are in the market for the highest grade Titanium power supply or need something compact in size then the SilverStone Strider Titanium ST70F-TI deserves serious consideration.
