Concerning the tiny proportions of the unit, even the presence of a switch must have been a design challenge.

Thanks for the video, I'd seen the finished PSU mod somewhere, but hadn't seen how it had been achieved. Ocuk Limited trading as Overclockers UK is a credit broker, not a lender, and is Authorised and Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. The textbook filtering stage is crammed and shielded right behind the AC receptacle, which comes as no surprise due to the lack of space. In the fast-evolving landscape of PC gaming and high-performance computing, the pursuit of innovation and efficiency is paramount.As one of the best-known companies in the high-end PC peripherals business, SilverStone needs little introduction. In addition, with its full range of input and output electrical features, the power supply is an excellent choice for use in servers, workstations, communications, or any other automation applications. Even with relatively standard, ATX-compliant equipment, SilverStone’s power products tend to have great power-per-volume ratios.

With room for only a 40mm fan, the PSU has to be cool enough running to not require a fan running at ear splitting speeds. before the fan came on would be for an SFF system with a discrete GPU that was near silent at idle and only made noise under load. HDPlex states up to 94% for their GaN unit but this can also be achieved with a good common PSU design w/o GaN.

Since the majority of the work is being done outside of the case, the Noctua HSF atop my AMD 3400g is enough to keep the DC-DC board cool. It has features that enthusiasts demand such as all-black exterior coating, sleeved cables, and support for PCIe 8pin and 6pin connectors. It's a field that SilverStone has become so entrenched in that although other companies produce compact PCs and related peripherals as well, none of them are really trying to be SilverStone's peer.

Silverstone says that they launched the FX350-G to "further widen the scope of SFF design possibilities and to serve upgrade needs of embedded systems or 1U rack-mount server applications". I briefly considered a Noctua conversion, but I wasn't sure a 10mm deep Noctua would have anough quiet airflow to safely replace the existing 2 pin 15mm deep 40mm fan. One reason why the power supply is a must is because of its modular design which improves the ease of use. Doing a Velka 3 build and ended up purchasing the FSP 400w 80+ gold PSU they offer with the fan in the back.One benefit of using this particular power supply is that you can configure your power cables according to the needs of the system you’re using.

This is now ready for the first release, with a fully customizable, 3d printable traditional shoebox layout.

If a slim 80mm fan is enough to cool a Flex ATC PSU, there is lots of potential if you have the space. Infact, it is a bit smaller than the original power supply, so there was some space for cable management. MenhirMike - Friday, November 13, 2020 - link If you only need 50-100W, then a PicoPSU is a great option. At least 50-100W should be doable (maybe a bit more); that's a mainstream laptop power brick, and if being inside a case means this won't have as easy passive cooling it's also several times larger than a brick. Few OEMs – let alone retail companies – bother to develop advanced PSU platforms that are smaller than the full ATX format, making compact PSUs an underserved market.

SilverStone launched its second Flex ATX power supply, the FX500-G, to further widen the scope of SFF design possibilities and to serve upgrade needs of embedded systems or 1U rackmount server applications. You may be wondering how to go about picking one and what to be looking for as you review your options. Running it out of the box with airflow is a good idea too, though this is an instant crash the second I change the resolution.
