SilverStone Strider Plus 750 W Power Supply Review

Conclusions

SilverStone Strider Plus 750 W is very good power supply, being offered with a fair price tag for its performance and features, and therefore we are giving it our Golden Award.

Efficiency is one of its highlights, peaking 86.9% in our tests. Voltage regulation was superb, with its main outputs always within 3% of their nominal values (i.e., voltages closer to their standard values than required). And noise and ripple was always relatively low.

The cable configuration is good for a 750 W product, with four individual cables for video cards, but we’d like it better if it presented three more SATA power cables. Another good thing about the cable configuration from this unit is that SATA and peripheral connectors are 9 7/8” (25 cm) apart from each other, which is 4” (10 cm) more than the norm.

And of course its fully modular cabling system is a must and will please all users.

SilverStone Strider Plus 750 W is way better than the overpriced Zalman ZM-770XT, even though they are manufactured by the same company (Enhanced Electronics). This model from Zalman offers only two video card cables and lower performance. The higher performance from Strider Plus 750 W was achieved by using a synchronous design of the secondary (translation: rectifiers were replaced with MOSFET transistors for higher efficiency).
