CONCLUSION

   SilverStone has become one of the well-established PSU manufacturers in the market over the years but still if they had told me a while back that they were planning to make a fully modular SFX form factor PSU capable of outputting 600W of continuous power I’d probably think they were just throwing marketing material at me. Still not only does the SST-SX600-G output 600W of power (our test rig almost maxed it out) but it does so with solid rail stability and 80 Plus Gold efficiency. Noise levels however are a bit high so potential buyers should consider getting a good mATX/mITX case (preferably padded on the interior with noise insulating material) but even without that i don't really think that the majority of users will have a problem with it. Also this is the first time (from what i can recall) to have a device by Enhance Electronics land in our lab and although i didn't like the use of Su'scon capacitors (pretty much unknown to me) overall i think they made a fine unit.

   Normally most 600W power supply units don't cost much but when you pair an 80 Plus Gold efficiency certification with a fully modular design and a tiny size you can't really expect that to happen and so the SST-SX600-G by SilverStone currently retails for USD129.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 136Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk). True normally i wouldn't consider this price tag very tempting but let's not forget that we're talking about a tiny, fully modular, 80 Plus Gold certified PSU that can output 600W continuously and can fit where no other model can. Bottom line if you need the smallest PSU possible right now or if you want to save some space inside your mATX/mITX case then you simply can't go wrong with the SST-SX600-G by SilverStone and that's why it gets our Golden Award.
