SilverStone ST1200-PT

The ST1200-PT would achieve a much higher overall performance rating score if its ripple suppression on the minor rails was within spec, under high ambient. Moreover, we would like to see an accurate power ok signal and the fan profile should be less aggressive. On the other hand the build quality is good, load regulation is satisfactory and the PSU is equipped with a great number of cables. The magnetic fan filter is a nice addition as well and with 18cm depth, the PSU will fit into most ATX cases. The competition in this price range is tough though, and offers even longer warranty periods.
