Picked up the SST-SX700LPT to go into a mini-ITX build and thus far doing the job perfectly fine.With 700w the unit is capable of feeding most CPU and GPU combinations around and for most the at much less then its rated capacity for typical parts so works fine in that regards. This unit is of course the slightly longer SFX-L and the extra housing is used to accommodate a larger 120mm fan. For most the part under low loads the fan does not spin at all (provided it also has adequate airflow) and only when it gets hotter under a load such as gaming, will the fan spin up, though to be honest even then, its fairly inaudible to me.There are plenty of cables included of the flat ribbon variety and thankfully this time unlike my last purchase of a SFX silverstone PSU,

Overall an amazing PSU for the price, with one subjective hiccupPros:The power supply comes with an ATX bracket which is nice for compatibility with larger cases or cases which dont support sfx/sfx-lCompletely Modular (very rare at this pricepoint, £66 and totally modular)80+ Gold again, most others in this price range are bronze rated which arent as efficient as gold ratedSFX-L is nice for itx towers like the Fractal Define Nano-SCons:The cables are very short, this could very well be a positive given its designed form factor but in an itx tower the 24pin is so short you an only just route it to the motherboard if the mobo has its 24pin on the right,

Very disappointed, I figured getting a high wattage unit for my NAS that claimed low noise would mean the fan could slow down due to never being heavily loaded. Sadly as seems to be the case for all FlexATX PSUs, it doesn't have a PWM fan so it sounds the same regardless of load and doesn't seem any quieter than the PSU my case came with.Its not a bad PSU, I'd expect it to last a long time due to being more efficient with low-load compared to the stock PSU, but I had really hoped it would be quieter. Its such a shame the best NAS cases compromise on the PSU, as just moving up to SFX you can find PSUs that are almost completely silent.Its rather bizarre as you can find external power bricks up to around 250W that are much quieter than this,

Had a CiT mATX case and so I bought a CiT mATX PSU to go with it. I then discovered that even though both the case and the PSU were both made by CiT for some reason it's standard in the industry to make most mATX cases with ATX PSU holes.That's not much good when you have a PC with a PSU that you thought would fit seeing as they're both supposed to be the same format and they don't fit. Thankfully though this little bracket came to my rescue. The PSU can be attached to the PC anyway without this bracket but because of the positioning of the screw holes it does put a big gap in the back of the case and the PSU is slanted,

I was wary of buying this after many complaints about noise for the V1.0 but it seems like they've done away with the hybrid mode and just have the fan constantly on but it spins at such a low RPM you cannot hear it over anything else.I'm all about low noise computing and this is definitely the most silent in my system (well apart from my SSDs).I have an i7-4790K paired up with a GTX970 and they draw a little over 250W from the wall at max load and this PSU never breaks a sweat and doesn't feel hot and never spins up, even in my lovely looking but poorly ventilated Jonsbo UM3X case.

This is a 450W PSU but I am only using 200W of it at full load. This helps keep the PSU quiet as the fan only ramps up when using 300W or more. I like the fact the SFX to ATX bracket is included even though my case came with the its own bracket. Toms Hardware has a very detailed review about this power supply, worth reading if you are thinking about buying it. It's not a very expensive supply considering it is a SFX supply. Also I dont mind that it is not modular as I am using all the cables anyway.For me the fan is inaudible as I can't hear it over my very quiet case/GPU/CPU fans.

This is a great power supply for my new NAS/Media Centre. I have yet to hear the fan come on at all, the hard drives are the only thing I hear. It comes with a ATX adaptor, but this does not allow the PSU sit on the floor of my particular case, I bought the SilverStone SST-PP08 SFX to ATX PSU Converter - Black to solve this and you get a better clearing between the PSU and HDDs mounted above.System is:Fractal Node 304Asrock J4205-ITXSyba 4xSATA Expansion Card2x SSD (OS & Cache)6x 4TB HDD (Stablebit Drivepool)18w idle, 40w (drops as the unneeded drives turn off)

Office pc had a very noisy psu fan so thought I'd give this a shot looking for as close to silence as possible on a budget.Straight forward fitting, came with a plate which my case needed as the old psu was larger (as well as whooshing like a hoover). Switched on and I have to admit that I initially thought it wasn't powering as there was no sound at all but pc booted and works perfectly. The thing is genuinely silent - at least within reasonable parameters. Highly recommended for modestly spec'd pc's.

This is probably the easiest to get Flex ATX PSU out there, but it comes with some caveats. The cables are stiff and difficult to move around. The cables are also probably going to be too long or too short for your application, and there are probably going to be too many of them. It's also not quiet. The fan can adjust, and does start out quiet, but for me the fan ramps up and never ramps down.On the plus side it is easy to get, it's relatively cheap for a Flex ATX PSU, and it's from a brand name.

Didn't realise I had bought a small PSU for the last build so, when it came to transferring the PC to a new case, only one of the mount-screw holes lined up!Had the adaptor delivered same-day and took all of about 5 mins to fit.Only 3 of the rectangle-pattern PSU holes were useable, but there was a 4th centre hole in the PSU I could use.Totally rock-solid install, kit includes screws for adaptor to case, but none for PSU to adaptor, but you should ave those anyway.Total life-saver :-)

I am very happy I came across this back panel converter! I had made the mistake of getting a huge video card for my micro-ITX build, and I could not fit my ATX-size power supply unit in the case with it. So I bought an SFX-size PSU and this converter, and now everything fits great! (The four rubber pads at the bottom of the inside of the case no longer held up the smaller PSU, so I just cut off a little piece of an eraser with the same height to use instead, and that solved the issue.)

After trying two different SFX power supplies one from Aero cool and the other being CIT silent Technoligy neither working in a quiet manner I decided to bite the bullet and try a more expensive type. I am running a Aerocool Micro ATX case with a MSI H97M-E35 board utilising a Intel i7 5th gen CPU I am a happy bunny the fact the fan on the PSU only seems to work under stress I have only been hearing the CPU fan in the distance so it seems. All in all money well spent worth every penny.

I have purchased this from somewhere else and i noticed the rewiews on this product are a bit one sided mostly due to the supplier.This power supply is excellent if you are building a small mini itx computer or home server it is completely modular helping you reduce the clutter in the case and it can deliver a decent ammount of power.Now the cooling fan is a bit on the noisy side however if you have it hidden away or in the attic you will never notice.

Not sure what other reviewers have done to this PSU but I have found it to be nice and quiet with plenty of juice to run an i5 and Nvidia 1660 super which is powering my VR setup from a mini case. Noise is my enemy with a PC build and using a smaller case is always a problem but not with this one. Sure it ramps up a bit when full on gaming but I'm in the zone at that point and don't care. If you need a 450W SFX supply, go ahead and get it.

fan never spins-is that good or bad-my gut feeling is bad because no air circulates around psu, seems a little pointless.It works but as I said don't know if this concept is good or bad so I write this review with caution? One more point the motherboard (asrock a68mitx)that it powered,did overheat but the fan still didn't spin? UPDATE been using for awhile without any issue so to be fair have awarded (more stars) 4 stars
