Introduction

1000W used to only be for kettles or heaters, but now your PC can be supplied with a kilowatt of energy. Several manufactures have had a go at the 1000W supply, and I’ve yet to see one that really stands out from the crowd. Today I have the SilverStone Strider which builds on the success of their many other power supplies. Have they got it right?

Spec

Being one of the first power supplies here at SilverStone, Strider Series has come a long way ever since the birth of ST360, first Strider power supply. Since then, Striders has been carefully enhanced, tweaked, and made better by the engineers of SilverStone. The all new ST1000, an excellent power supply that reached 1000Watt output mark, with 100% modular cable system and high quality cable bag, this power supply package is not only more advanced; it is also a cinch to manage. Cooled with a bigger and quieter 135mm fan, the ST1000 is an awesome all around power supply that delivers performance stability, optimal efficiency, and superior user comfort in its class!
