SilverStone Strider Platinum SST-ST55F-PT 550W
We found the Strider Platinum 550W retailing for $110 and other 80Plus Platinum certified 550W PSU are sharing similar price tags, with the sole exception of the Enhance-made Rosewill Quark 550W that currently retails for $20 less. As such, if a very high efficiency 550W PSU is needed, then SilverStone’s Strider Platinum sits in an interesting niche and will certainly not disappoint.

By AnandTech onSilverstone has done it again, delivering another seemingly simple, yet excellent performing power supply that will no doubt be well suited to a wide range of system builds. While not the most exciting looking unit, its capabilities more than make up...

By HardOCP onLa qualité de fabrication est très bonne, le rendement est excellent, les tensions stables et le silence est de rigueur, il n'y a pas grand chose à reprocher à la Strider Platinum 550! La seule petite chose qui pourrait déplaire à certains est la...

Unfortunately in this test most of the power supplies that we can recommend have a capacity of 550 watt. Between the 350 and 500 watt the offers are a lot less impressive, both in terms of quantity as well as quality. The problem seems to be that for...
