Bottom Line:
The Silverstone Zeus ST65ZF is HARDCORE. It's more power supply than most people need, but if it's in the budget and you want no holds barred, this is a power supply for you.

Conclusions
Ok. You just read a six page review about one single power supply. I
admit.. I'm Silverstone's bitch. This thing is HARDCORE. It's
more power supply than most people need, but if it's in the budget and you
want no holds barred, this is a power supply for you.
Pros:
- Very powerful.
- Very stable.
- Very elegant appearance.
- Nice cables.
- Plenty of cables.
- Decent efficiency across the board.
- Not too loud under normal loads.
- Doesn't get too hot even under extreme loads.
- A great value considering how much juice this thing puts out.
- Active power factor correction
Cons:
- Have to be aware of minimum load requirements for 5V rail to avoid
crossloading issues.
That about wraps it up for this bad boy. If I could
improve it at all, I would give it even better efficiency and address
the crossload issue
somehow, even if it means installing a 5 or 10A dummy load on the 5V rail
and lowering the maximum output capacity to 600W or 625W, but that's being
nit picky.
Easily this power supply
scores a 10. And with that 10 comes an
Editor's Choice award. Congratulations Silverstone! You earned
it.
