SILVERSTONE ST1500 1500W ATX 12V 2.3 & EPS 12V SLI Ready 80 PLUS SILVER Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Powers 6 10K drives, 1 SSD, 2 OCd 7970s 2700K at 4.7 2 water pumps, fans, 2133 memory, etc, and a 720XT Mark IV. Never breaks a sweat or makes a sound. Two years in.

Cons: None for me

Other Thoughts: Dude blows up his rig, needs to blame someone. Right?

Pros: I wish.

Cons: This company is a joke! This power supply blew up, shorted a rail and fried a motherboard. Silverstone's reply was "take a look at our RMA policy" MSI will not RMA the motherboard because of damage due to electrical failure, Silverstone will not do anything about it, now the issue will be going to court unless they can pull their head out... I'm sure that the U.S. consumer safety product safety commission will be delighted to hear that their products do not have proper safety devices in place to prevent a potential fire.

Other Thoughts: Silverstone has my contact information, I encourage them to get this issue resolved.

Pros: pretty

Cons: pretty outside, crapi (newegg doesn't like this word spelled in the correct way) components inside
only 3 year warranty (wonder why?)
expensive for quality
poor performance compare to competition
in summary this brand is like a very beautiful blonde with no substance or depth
if i can give it 1 egg without newegg employee screening and removing honest comments, I would.

Other Thoughts: My experience with silvertone is that its products looks good outside, heavy, modular cables, seemingly high quality. However, the truth is they barely make the warranty period. using the psu close to it's rated power shortens its life exponentially. silverstone is good at sucking people in with good looks, good reviews and do all the right things to give potential customers good first impression, but in reality, component selection is sub par and the units themselves don't last long. It's all about bling with the company. After 2 years, most users are probably looking for upgrades and don't care about their failing PSU and this is how silverstone gets away with your hard earned money. There is not much choice when comes to PSU. My suggestion is stay with reputable brands like SeeZonique, Korxair, Ntech, Zupurvalwur, PeeSeePalwor&Kooling and maybe Anurmax or EffEssPee.

Pros: It's been 2 years since I did this build. I run 3 loops in my water cooling system - 24 rad fans - 13 intake fans - 4 fan controllers - 3 EK dual tops with 6 pumps - 2 x 5970's - X58A-UD9 - 980X OC'd @ 4.2. Never had a single issue.

Cons: NONE

Other Thoughts: This PSU can power just about any build. I thought I was going to have to get a seperate PSU to run water cooling system - Like I said - not a single issue. Will buy another for my next build.

Pros: It can run everything and everything inside my PC.

Cons: The second one that I bought for a new machine came with the wrong power cord. (the standard kind instead of the heavy-duty kind) As such, I couldn't get my PC running for en extra week.

Other Thoughts: 1 egg off for wrong power cord, that's it

Pros: i've owned many high end gaming pc's throughout the years and as many modders know usually the first mod needed is a power supply due to upgraded chips and cards requiring more power. this is the QUIETEST, more stable, power supply ive ever had!!! more plugs then anyone could use, everything is tied up to make it look clean and well manufactured, the grey outside makes it slightly more appealing then a standard grey steel case.

Cons: none what so ever... this is simply beautiful and thanks to newegg for the fast shipping

Pros: This thing works great! 1500w is plenty!

Cons: None!

Other Thoughts: I just wish it had more slots and cables but that's neither here nor there!

Pros: It worked for 9 months

Cons: Gave up the ghost after nine months of use. 2xGTX 580's OC'd, CPU OC'd on X58; OC completely stable. I know it's the PSU because I just put in a new 1500 and it works like a charm. PSU would give out under high 3D gaming usage. Extremely upset, this thing has no longevity whatsoever.

Other Thoughts: Now a CORSAIR fan!

Pros: I had a BFG 1200 watt PSU in my system before. My specs are
i7 920 @ 4.4Ghz
EVGA Classified 760
12GB (6 2GB sticks) 2000MZ RAM
XFX BE 5970 and two 5850's (all @ 950/1300)
8 HDDs
4 Delta 200cfm fans etc

I put the ST1500 in and I was able to lower the main voltages on the CPU/Motherboard by more than %20. That in itself is absolutely amazing. System stability went up for sure.

The packaging is fantastic. It has a plethora of cables you can choose to use for almost any configuration as well as being QUAD SLI certified by NVIDA!!

Cons: Price maybe? However for a 1500W PSU you cannot beat it... PERIOD

Other Thoughts: I wish I would have gotten this first

Pros: Move it to a 2700k rig with 2 7970s, 16G rip X, H60 cooler, 256g ssd and 1T WD RE3 Raid 1. Very fast machine

Powers it all no problem

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Buy it.
