CONCLUSION

   Even though the Strider Titanium 1100W model (ST1100-TI) was initially released back in 2017 SilverStone has made some tweaks to its board (v2.0 seems to be the 3rd release/update) most noticeably now using two larger capacity capacitors thus allowing longer hold-up times (560/1120uF for this model compared to the 470/940uF of the original). Rail stability was very good during my tests with the test rig squeezing as much as 1042W from the Strider Titanium 1100W during heavy stress testing. Unfortunately, the 135mm Yate Loon fan used gets very noisy at such loads, this of course may not be a huge issue if you also have a somewhat noisy graphics card (6800XT/6900XT/RTX3080 Ti/RTX3090) but still it gets very noisy. The large number of available modular connectors means you can have less clutter in your case compared to other PSUs whereas the lack of a rear on/off switch is something i didn’t expect to see from a high-end model.

   The Strider Titanium 1100W (v2.0) power supply unit by SilverStone currently retails for USD384.95 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 320.11Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) a price tag which is slightly higher compared to what you get from similar models by the competition. Noise levels are also regrettably high yes but other than that i really don’t have any issues with the Strider Titanium 1100W (V2.0), performance is almost excellent, power output should be more than enough for most people, the 80 Plus Titanium certification all but guarantees the best electrical efficiency and as for available connectors well nothing i could had asked for more which is why it clearly deserves the Golden Award.
