CONCLUSION

   The Silent Storm Cool Zero 850W is the very first power supply unit I’ve received by Sharkoon and I have to admit I liked it. Build quality is very good (as we’ve come to expect by High- Power, especially recently), the 80 Plus Gold efficiency is the most popular right now, rail stability is quite solid (not the best I’ve seen but very good for this type of PSU) and noise levels are very low making this model almost inaudible even at load. My sole concern with the Silent Storm Cool Zero line of power supply units by Sharkoon is the warranty which at 3 years might not be just enough for some potential buyers. Of course, models with 5+ years of warranty cost substantially more but this is certainly something that will stand out for some people.

   So just how much must one spend to get his hands on a Silent Storm Cool Zero 850W power supply unit? Well currently with a price tag set at 109.44Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) the Silent Storm Cool Zero 850W is priced extremely well and is ideal for consumers on a rather tight budget. Overall, the Silent Storm Cool Zero 850W is a great choice for people who are not willing (or don’t need) to spend much on a power supply unit and for that it gets the Golden Award.
