Awesome!

Doesn't sound too far off, though I will still say they are taking their dear time with it.

[MrSuperb]

Well ... now I am not sure if I should order the 600 Watt standard SFX version or wait for the 500 Watt version with 120mm fan ...

 

Why oh why did they have announce two models : /

isn't the 600w model demi-passive anyway?

[MrSuperb]

isn't the 600w model semi-passive anyway?

 

yep, still also the 500Watt model is and when the fan kicks in I'd guess the 500Watt model would be more silent

[ForsakenLive]

I need this PSU in my life, this and 2TB LSI SSDs (hurry up Adata)

[Phillyphries]

What does semi-fanless even mean LOL

 

does it have a real fan or not :lol:

 

(edit: Yes I know what it means, it just sounds ridiculous)

Very impressive but I'll be surprised if it runs cool and quiet under load. The new SFX-L form factor sounds more interesting to me.

Well if you have components that really draw 500-600Watt in a small case (SFX wouldn't make much sense otherwise) the PSU probably isn't the only noise generator

For small cases that don't support ATX PSUs, your right. I was thinking more about cases like the Prodigy and Node 304 that support ATX PSUs but have some restrictions on the length making it difficult to fit many modular PSUs. SFX-L looks like it could be the solution. 

[Misanthrope]

So now that a Silverstone Raven whatever can get up to 600w of juice it can theoretically support overlocking and custom water loops at least in theory

[NannerBeans]

I really need this. I emailed Silverstone about the ETA and MSRP so hopefully they'll actually give me an answer but I'm not getting my hopes that high lol.

bad news

 

 

Just an update, we did encounter a couple of problems during initial production of SX600-G so we only had very limited quantities available from this batch. All were already spoken for by our system integrator customers so you won't be seeing SX600-G for a while yet in retail channels.

Yeah so it confirms that it was indeed too good to be true. Honestly I'm starting to think that if you can't power it with 450 watts you shouldn't fit it on the kind of cases that use SFX.

I'm sure that things will get better in the future though, but not quite there.

[MrSuperb]

It has been proven that it is possible, but this is not like your average 800 Watt ATX gold PSU to manufacture.

They will figure it out and we will get our hands on it

Fair enough let me rephrase that statement: It may be too good to make sense for mass production and/or reasonable prices, meaning it is technically possible but their manufacturing yields are not there yet.

Good on them for Pioneering, I can live with delays.

I want the 600watt not really for that but for the silent operation. If they have the 450 or even 500 watt with a one of those hybrid fans I would buy it right now. 450 is just enough for 780 and an unlocked i5 although you won't be doing too much overclocking.

Actually quiet operation is quite a good reason and would be nice to have the option to pay more for that, good thinking.

I actually have been doing some research on the 450 watt modular psu already out and turns out that the fan in it ramps up as temperature goes up and not the load. So I was thinking in my NCASE build, I could getto rig another fan to push air into the psu from the outside and maybe that'll keep it cool enough to not ramp the fan speed up because I doubt the 600 watt will come out in time for me. Silverstone replied to my email and said they can't give a precise release date which pretty much means it's probably at least a few months off. 

[BobbyG2]

Just a little more powerful and you might be able to power an 295x2

[NannerBeans]

I got news! I pushed Silverstone a little bit harder and they said it might be at the end of next month. And as a bonus, apparently it can support the Titan Z lol. It's too late for me so I guess I'll have to go with the ST45SF-G model.

Great news! Hopefully receiving my NCASE M1 V2 by the end of this month and then getting this bad boy with it
