When you make the difficult decision to buy components for the new computer or check the manufacturer’s pages or your usual hardware store out of curiosity, you may have doubts when you see the complete catalogs indicating which product is the best of a specific brand. Let’s not forget that not all of a brand’s products are good, nor are they all very bad, and there is always a range or a model that can be very interesting and correspond to us. We are going to save you time with SilverStone by summarizing which products you will not go wrong with in your purchase.
A trademark does not imply that it is the direct manufacturer of a product. They can either rebrand an existing model by purchasing the license, or actively participate in the design and have it manufactured by a third party. That doesn’t mean it’s negative and it’s completely normal. SilverStone, on the other hand, is usually a source supplier for much of the PSU series for other manufacturers.
Most Recommended SilverStone Products
Among its product catalog, SilverStone has a wide variety, being the strength of some very specific ones such as computer cases and power supplies, although it also has a wide range of fans and heatsinks for processors:
- Power supplies: As we have discussed in previous news, SilverStone has an excellent reputation when it comes to power supplies. Their entire range of power supplies carry some type of certificate and offer up to 5 years of warranty in Europe, at least for most of the catalog.

Fonts: Form Factor Matters
SilverStone was one of the first manufacturers to take power supply sizing seriously. As dimensions increased with power, SilverStone worked on “power density” by offering more in a smaller size.
Power density = horsepower / liters (width x height x depth)
A clear example are these recommended models:
SX650-G
A clear example of what power density is can be found in sources from the SilverStone SFX range, especially in the SX family. The SX650-G source has a density of 819 W per litre, for an approximate cost of $140 including VAT. In addition to its small size, it has:
- SX GOLD range available from 600 W to 700 W.
- Certified 80PLUS Gold.
- 5 year warranty.
- Single ramp +12V.
- Modular.
- 8/6 pin PCIe support.
SX800-LTI
In its SFX-L range, SilverStone plays it safe. They are certified 80PLUS Titanium, and Cybenetic ETA (Efficiency) Titanium and LANDA STANDARD +. The SilverStone SX800-LTI model has a power density of 775W, in its 800W range, with a very small footprint of 63.5mm x 130mm x 125mm.
