The good High Power platform offers high performance, while the 92mm FDB fan and the relaxed fan profile contribute to a silent enough overall operation. If this PSU had four PCIe connectors and SilverStone added an SFX-to-ATX adapted in the bundle, then we would have less things to complain about. The OTP, OPP and OCP triggering points need fixing as well, in order to offer a safer operation.
