SilverStone on Wednesday introduced Extreme 850R Platinum, the world’s first SFX power supply based on the SFX12V 4.0 standard, which has specifications comparable to ATX 3.0, and offers a 16-pin 12VHPWR connector capable of 450 W continuous output with excursion-tolerance within ATX 3.0 and PCIe Gen 5 specs, and improved sleep/wake performance.

The SilverStone Extreme 850R Platinum, as its name suggests, is an 850 W power supply, with Cybenetics Platinum switching efficiency. Under the hood is a single +12 V design with APFC, LLC, most common electrical protections (against over/under voltage, overload, and overheat); and 100% Japanese electrolytic capacitors. A 92 mm fluid dynamic bearing fan is used to cool the PSU, which is tuned to be fanless up to 150 W load, and 35-40% speed between 150-600 W load. Connectors of this fully-modular PSU include a 24-pin ATX, two 4+4 pin EPS, a 16-pin 12VHPWR connector keyed for 450 W, two 6+2 pin PCIe power, eight SATA power, and five legacy connectors. Available now and backed by a 5-year warranty, the SilverStone Extreme 850R Platinum is priced at USD $215.99.
