MODTHEBOX would like to thank SilverStone Technology
for sending the SilverStone SST-ST30NF Aluminum Power Supply for review.
Introduction:
PSU enclosures remain one of the more critical components that make up a complete computer system. Professional
system builders and DIY users are now designing more complex systems with larger power requirements and cooling
options. Intel and AMD have both adopted the approach of compiling system hardware compatibility lists in order
to simplify the process of integrating various system components together. As the market continues to grow, there
are several recognized manufacturers that have established credible reputations for designing high quality power
supply units with excellent warranty options. Today in the MTB Labs, we will be evaluating the new SilverStone
SST-ST30NF Aluminum Power Supply, a fan less product that offers high performance and unique list of features.
Specifications:
The SilverStone SST-ST30NF Aluminum Power Supply is one of four different units available on the SilverStone website
and is marketed as part of the Nightjar Series. The SST-ST30NF is a fan less model that uses 300w watts by default
but is capable of possessing a peak rating of up to 400W+. The SilverStone SST-ST30NF Aluminum Power Supply complies
with EMC and FCC Class B, CE and meets EN55022 Class B standards. Here are some specifications taken directly
from the SilverStone website:

The packaging inside the box was good and consisted of the PSU itself, 24-page manual, power cable,
mounting bracket, 6-32 mounting screws, and all the PSU Molex connections bundled on the left hand side.
