Try look around LYP. I bought mine last time, at MyPC for about RM330 which was the cheapest around last time..

I somehow agree with you about modular PSUs. Even the OCZ ModStream have some reliability issue for me last time when i tested it. This is one of the best bang for buck PSU available out there. Really good indeed.

Bear in mind, there is one known problem with this PSU. It emits some kind buzzing sound which is not dangerous but kinda annoying..

Yea, as i said, the buzzing sound is not something dangerous but it can be annoying at times. At least it scared me last time

P.S: I would really love to see a review on the OP650 here.


Cable management on modular PSU had been discussed before and it really depends on a persons rig. If you are owning a rig that comes with little hardware, yes, cable management on modular PSU is better as unused cables can be taken out easily. However, if you rig are full of hardwares and almost every single cable is occupied, then having a normal PSU would be better as all cables are coming out from a single place and thus, allowing better cable management.

Regarding other issues, many enthuasist still doubts the reliability and capability of modular PSUs. Not sure how reliable are they..

Ah, 1kW PSU. That would be nice to see as well but seems overkill to me. OP650 does seem to be another best bang for buck PSU right now..

These 2 are totally different company. 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.

The problem is even explained by Silverstone themselves thus, nothing serious.

Eagerly waiting for your next Silverstone review bro..

I got this around early this year (around January probably) and its for RM330 at MyPC. Given some time to bargain, you already can get it at below that price. So, its not a price drop. Just you need to find the best shop that offers at this price. RSP is still RM349 though..

Normally, shops will only cover 1 year warranty by themselves and will ask for additional charges after that. However, AFAIK, Silverstone do provide 3 years warranty. Try clarify this with Inter-Asia if your PSU is supplied by them..

Actual warranty from SS is 3 years but most shop only handles 1 year. After that, you will either need to pay them to warranty for you or you need to send it directly to Silverstone yourself.

O..the newer revision comes directly with 4 pin ATX connector huh..Mine come supplied with a 8pin - 4pin converter though..

Well, Silverstone did say the buzzing sound is normal at a 80plus PSU. So there is nothing to worry about..

Well, the new version that comes with blue fan are supposed to be more silent than the black fan version. Anyway, even on the black fan version, i cant even hear a slight noise from the PSU itself.
