SilverStone Nightjar ST50NF 500W Fanless Power Supply Review

[news 28]

SilverStone was one of the first PC power supply manufacturers to

design and market a fanless power supply for silent operation. While

many of their competitorÂ’s fanless products have come and gone,

SilverStone continues to build on their reputation and later last year

released the SST-ST50NF 500W fanless power supply, which is the latest

addition to the Nightjar series. We are a little late to the party in

reviewing the ST50NF but after talking with the good folks at

SilverStone it appears the wait was worth it as they have continued to

tweak the design in recent months to improve AC ripple suppression on

the DC outputs.

Quote: "The SilverStone Nightjar ST50NF 500W Fanless power supply

delivered excellent voltage regulation and dead silent operation. The

ST50NF PSU includes a good assortment of fixed cables with two PCI-E

connectors for high-end graphic adapter support and is constructed

from high-quality, server grade components. While certainly a good

power supply the ST50NF falls short of being a great power supply due

to only 80Plus Bronze efficiency and AC ripple values higher than we

like to see in a premium power supply."
