They are different but shares the same name. Do not get confused with both of them.  The Silverstone Tyre company is NOT the one making this PSU. |

QUOTE(DaRkSyThE @ Nov 25 2007, 09:43 PM) @lehteck What about the OP650 ? AnandTech implies that it's not actually a single-rail PSU, but actually a quad-rail one. Since it's marketed as a single-rail PSU, it would be interesting to find out if it's really just four rails instead of one.well, i only do reviews for my sponsors so if you sponsor me okay la of course there are strings attached @akachester yeah the buzzing sound is there[for those that are scared, the buzzing sound is normal for PSUs with high efficiency. the buzzing sounds occur with SilverStone PSUs with the 80Plus Structure, but it is in no way dangerous remember that], but i didnt really notice it as much as my DA850. i wonder whyModular PSUs are not to say unreliable but still their reliability is still yet to be proven. but personally i like the fact that you can move cables around. but performance, im not to savvy bout it. but hey, may i also repeat that high end manafacturers such as Corsair, Enermax, Hiper and Silverstone are deemed to be reliable manafacturers for modular PSUs. others like cooler master, gigabyte, thermaltake (though their 1kW+ PSUs are apparently solid.) and Mushkin which are still relatively new to the market, its really up to you to make that choice. I'm not here to ban you guys from modular PSUs, just buy them from reputable companies that have been in this industry for a long time. they would have done all their research and stuff  oh yeah, and guys let me know what you want me to review from SIlverStone next. I'll see what I can do Source : http://www.anandtech.com/casecoolingpsus/s...spx?i=3037&p=12 |

Those guys who gets from the bulkers in LYN will get new version 3.1, coz all order new stocks from Inter-asia mah. If u buy from the shops, u might b getting old stocks, coz those shops alwiz stock up and sell slowly.
i've heard of SLI 8800GTS 640MB on a OP650. So, u guys judge whether its tempting or not. I've tried SLI of the 8800GT on the ST56F, no prob at all. The ultra drained more power than 2 of the 8800GT 512 (stock clock). Just my experience anyway.  To know the version that u guys r getting, either u check for the v3.1 sticker which is sticked near the cables on the PSU casing, or check the Silverstone sticker for Amps on each of the +12V rails. Happy hunting guys. |

lehteck: Not me rich la, supplier is the one who want to tryout the SLI, I was there to watch only. haha. U can play oso mah haha
Godek: U can send back to ur seller and ask if can RMA or not lo. But, sometimes those noise can be from the fan too. I've seen some noise coming from the fan itself. Depends whether do u need it desperately or u have another spare to use or not lo. Despite these "noise" the performance are never compromised for sure. |
