The SilverStone ST85F-GS is another addition to the Strider Gold S series of power supplies from SilverStone. Over the years, SilverStone's Strider line of products has been solid in our testing, if a bit hamstrung by pricing.

Just last year, Silverstone embarked on a mission to save all of us who have computer cases that won't take a high watt power supply due to space concerns. Today they are continuing this quest by sending me their brand new Strider Gold S Series 850 watt unit, an 80 Plus Gold unit that somehow crams...

was a good PS and thought it would be a real work horse

died a early death; Wasn't even under heavy load; three SSD's and one 780T video card; Should not have died

Pretty good power supply, but the connectors to the power supply can be difficult to attach. They tend to slide out and this makes adding new ones later super difficult once in the case. I feel for the cost the connectors should have fit better into the PSU.

Good Cable management one of the power supplys that has two cpu 8 pin supplys ie 8 pin + 4 pin or 8 pin +8 pin

Nice and quiet, fan only seems to spin when under some load. Being modular is super handy for tidy cabling too.
