Could small and efficient power supplies like the SilverStone SX600G be showing us that the days of 1200 and 1500 watt monsters are over?

 

[Clyne]

Yay another review! Thanks @nicklmg for the upload.

Now we need the Evga G2 series.....

[dizmo]

My next build is definitely going to be m-ITX. With Pascal, SkyLake, and hopefully some kind of sexy FT03 Mini style case.

Please Silverstone. Make more small cube cases!

I'll be going with an m-itx build next up, but going with an i5 (maybe a non-overclocking chip) and a 970. So even the 450w version is probably perfectly fine anyway.

I wonder if it could feed dual 970s

According to this power calc it would! With 2 970s and a 4770K at 4.5ghz it calculated the required power at peak load to be 466 watts. Now all we need is an mITX/DTX board with 2 x16 slots. That would be an insane system... Yeah, take two of Gigabyte's short 970's, add waterblocks, do a little modding on their io, and you have 970 SLI in two slots.Then it's just a matter of building a case tiny case that has enough cooling for the cards and a 4770K!

 

JJ, or anyone from Asus, if you're reading this, can we please have an impact with a second gpu slot?

There are expansion cards that convert a single X16 slot into dual X8 slots. I don't remember the specific manufacturer, but I recall seeing them in a Tek Syndicate video.

But... But... Those WASTE SPACE. lol

 ....although, that's not actually a terrible idea... some of my case blockouts use pcie extenders to get the cards to lay flat, so that might just work!

 

Edit: Did a bit of googling. Check this thread out https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=236633.0. looks promising.

 

Edit 2: here's one

Really neat PSU. I am considering HTPC gaming PC into living room for the next year and now I know what will go inside

[tboxy]

what is that cpu cooler?

[Douglas Mawson]

what is that cpu cooler?

It's one of Silverstone's Argon series coolers: http://www.silverstonetek.com/product_cooling.php?tno=5&area=en

[pk-man]

wattage is just a number

it's not the size that matters. It's how you use it

Thank you

[Spiderloser]

nice psu you dont really need like 1500 w psu at all un less your goona be running quad sli copmuter or somthihng if you building a small gaming rig like this  or somthing with one graphics card and air cooling you should b fine with this psu

[The_D27]

At it's UK price it could give it some difficulty within the the market. Currently most PC cases which are Mini-ITX can deal with power supplies which are bigger than this, but if more of these are made then the SFX will become the norm as compact towers will only support this.

 

I think that unless you're 'going all-out', a 1500W psu isn't needed at all...

[Shirayuki5]

what case is he using in this video? i really want to look into that one

[PekingGoose]

Silverstone ML07B. I think a white version was supposed to come out eventually but now I'm not sure (maybe the ML08 will release in different colors)

thanks, i found it

What mobo is that?

[IAMTHEDOM]

I like how they're teasing/letting the audience know what videos are coming up if new people subscribe.

 

It gets me excited about seeing new videos come up, and it's just nice knowing what is coming the next day content wise.

[Qub3d]

Yes! there is room for the monster PSUs... in miners, servers, and render machines. I think systems are at the top of a power-consumption/output bell curve; we are already seeing the shift in design philosophy. In ten years, I would not be surprised if I have a PSU using just over half of what I currently have (750 watts --> 400 watts) on a much more powerful machine.

[Berkut99]

Absolutely I would build using one of these. In fact when I had done my computer's rebuild I looked around specifically to see what the state of power supply size had become in the five years since my last build; I was dissapointed to see that at the time they were still somewhat low power and rather high cost.

 

Smaller is better here. I understand standardized sizes for components, but I look forward to when we can restandardize power supply form factors into something far smaller and more efficent. Afterall, it's getting harder to justifiy power supplies with so much output for the average enthusiast when components like NVidia's Maxwell, Intel's upcoming Broadwell, and AMD's efforts at APU's are decimating power to performance charts across the board. It's just no longer needed to have something approaching a kilowatt in a case anymore.

I believe it's this one http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/MAXIMUS_VI_IMPACT/

I will still go for the higher watt rated PSUs, because of noise issues. The higher the wattage the PSU has, the more watt you can use without the fan spinning, and also even if the fan starts up it will be at very low revs so it will still be near noiseless. Also bigger PSUs then to have even better 80plus ratings, Titan is the highest as far as I know and again that means less wasted power. Of course all of this is ment for a big ATX or tower case build, so in regards to an ITX or other small form factors there is a definite merit for the smaller PSUs. In the end I am just happy we have all the different form factors so we all can make the build that suits us each induvidually the best.

Wow absolutely fantastic! This is the perfect psu/case combo for a portable lan party rig/ college dorm room gaming pc.
