Introduction
Silverstone. They make the widest range of PSU’s I have ever seen; from server redunate supplies to silent passively-cooled units. But today I test their Element ST50EF 500w supply, with the tag line ‘Power through efficiency’ which hopefully means it’ll be as groundbreaking as their other products.
