Installation:
Installation of this power supply is very simple, as with any power supply. The first step once your old power supply has been removed (assuming you had one prior to this) is to hold it in place and screw it in. Silverstone has included 4 black screws which match the exterior finish of the power supply to mount it with. Once everything is bolted in tightly you'll need to pick out all the modular cables you'll be using and connect them to both the power supply and your peripherals. The last step is to connect the power cable and turn on the power switch located on the rear of the power supply!

Testing:
To test the ST60F I will record it's voltages under both idle and full load conditions. The voltages will then be compared in a chart below to those of some other power supplies.

Testing System:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (Socket 939)
Motherboard: Biostar NF4UL-A9
Memory: 512mb Dual-Channel OCZ Premiere Series
HDD: Western Digital 160gb PATA
Video: XFX GeForce 6600GT PCI Express
Power Supply: Silverstone ST60F
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2

As you can see from the test results, overall the ST60F was quite impressive. The quad +12V lines held up rock solid with 12.03V idle and only dropping to a little under 12 at 11.97V under load. The +5V line was fairly close with 4.87V idle which I actually saw go to 4.89V when under load which surprised me as voltages usually drop under load. The +3.3V line was probably the only one that wasn't as rock solid only showing 3.2V idle which went down to 3.18V when under load. My only real complaint with the testing is just a minor one, that I'd like to see the 3.3V line slightly closer to what it should be, even though the voltage wasn't really anything to worry about in the first place.

Conclusion:
Overall I was incredibly pleased with the Silverstone ST60F power supply. Silverstone has done an awesome job on the design and layout of their modular system as well as the overall looks of the power supply. The low operating noise of the power supply is definitely pleasing to the ear and the overall performance was just super!

Pros:
Modular cable design
600 watts of power!
Quad 12V rails
Dual PCI Express connectors for SLI
Large number of protection measures
Performance was great
Very quiet operation

Cons:
Would be nice if SATA cable wouldn't have 4 leads off just one modular cable
+3.3V line may be slightly low, probably nothing to worry about though

Rating: 9.5/10
