Is the Sharkoon SilentStorm Cool Zero a relabled one of any version on the tier list? Does anyone know where it would rank?

It looks like almost exact match on Sirfa platfom used in TT Grand RGB Sync, FDB fan, Rubycon caps, which puts it in tier A temporary position until proper reviews.

Im curious where these PSU's fall on the tier list, can somebody help?

https://silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=766&area=en

https://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=813&area=en

 

and which one should I get?

From a quick look :

First link: Silverstone Essential Gold - tier A

Second link: Silverstone Strider Gold - tier B+ nope, this one = Astro GD, so tier C nope again, It's Silverstone Strider Gold S - tier B+

 

Why these two anyway ? Anything else available ?

BeQuiet Straight Power 11 Gold

Deepcool DQ-M

Enermax Revolution D.F

(650 or 750W)

Best/quietest of these three in A+ tier? SP 11 is the most expensive of these by a small bit...not sure if worth it.

The DF has that interesting reverse spin but worried it might fail faster because of it...also that fan looks somehow cheap plastic :D

Can't find Revolution DF, SP11 on cybenetics :(

SP11 are E11 on Cyben.

Reverse spin function of Enermax are manual AFAIK, i.e it doesn't trigger by itself.

Deepcool DQ-M, Enermax Revolution D.F and Bitfenix Whisper M are the same platform, so differences are essentially down to warranty, support and aesthetics.

If bq! E11 are more expensive then the choice out of other two probably depends on where are you from, if smth close to China then Deepcool, otherwise Enermax (so it would be easier to ship a unit for RMA if needed).

bit off-topic but just wanted to share some thoughts, I finally bought CX550 2017 (arrives in two days) due high positive reviews in linus tech forum and some other websites plus it's ranked Tier B+ meaning it's supposedly superior to some tier C or B gold units like EVGA 600 GD 2019, anyway i hope i don't regret the purchase coz omg cx550 was very cheap, it makes me feel kinda unconfortable that i might get some low quality garbage but i trust linus tech tier list more than all those guys in tom's hard, techpower or reddit saying: "dont go cheap on psu, u get what you paid for, if it blows dont cry, $100+ and gold or nothing"  ?

No worries, be confident in your purchase. It's a good quality unit that's priced really well. :)

Looking to build an SFF PC, strictly for gaming. From what I've seen Corsair SF450 Platinum should suffice for Ryzen 5 3600 + GPU as high as RTX 2070, and I'm aiming for a more budget GPU anyway. Any thoughts on this?

 

I would go for SF600 Platinum, just to future-proof the build, but I can't find it in stock anywhere, at least not for it's regular retail price.

Yes, it would be enough.

But i'm glad you asked because it turns out 850W+ Zalman EBT are in fact tier A worthy (High Power HPJ).

This 50mV requirement is only for 12V or all rails?

All rails but since 5V and 3.3V already have 50mV requirement by ATX specifications (and units with out of spec regulation or ripple on any rail will end-up in tier D), that's essentially 50mV for 12V rail only.

All spc units including supremo l2/m2,fm2 don't have OTP to meet A tier requirements. They're based on Sama oem's so probably all their units also don't have it.
