SilverStone SX600-G SFX Series Power Supply Review

A Closer Look – Interior

Wow, it’s seriously busy in here, so much so, that it’s going to be a difficult feat to give you a rundown of what is going on inside. Silverstone have wasted no space in here and, of course, that’s not really a bad thing at all as it helps keep this power PSU in an SFX form factor.

The main bulk capacitor is rated for 450V, 330 uF and 105c.

There’s a mixture of output capacitors through the 600G, mostly good quality, but unfortunately not all Japanese high-end caps; that’s not really a “bad” thing, but we’ll find out in our testing shortly how it performs.

There’s very little space in here, so there is a lot of wiring packed in, but SilverStone has taken extra care to wrap the ends to ensure nothing shorts out.

Here you’ll find the EMI filter and AC input. which overlays some of the power board, again helping to save space. There’s a few protective films and thermal pads here too, which will help with safety as well as heat dissipation.

The main output board for the modular connectors is tucked snug in the back of the unit, even if it is quite difficult to see here.

There’s a small fan connector on the back of the PCB, a few passive heat sinks and again, lots of protective films, layers and glue spots to keep things neat and tidy.

The fan is a good quality ADDA 12V unit, capable of very high RPM, although the PSUs controller will likely never need to max it out.
