| Conclusions |
 SilverStone Decathlon 700 W is a very good power supply, really being able to deliver its labeled power at 50º C, featuring a full modular cabling system where even the main motherboard cable is connected to, outstanding voltage stability, very low noise level and very good efficiency, between 84% and 86% for most scenarios (at 100% load efficiency was 82%, which isn’t bad at all). The presence of four 6-pin connectors and one 8-pin connector for video cards is also a very welcome feature, even though we think SilverStone should have used only 6/8-pin connectors. The only thing we can see is against buying this power supply its price. If you decide to buy it, make sure to purchase it at a place like Newegg.com that will offer you a mail-in rebate that will make the final price to drop to a decent level: USD 130. Otherwise you may want to look for other options. For example, Zalman ZM-600HP (which is a 700 W power supply labeled as 600 W product) and OCZ StealthXStream 700 W are both sold on the USD 100 price range at Newegg.com. These two other power supplies, on the other hand, have only two power connectors for video cards. |
