Specifications
Just like the ST65ZF
cousin, the ST60F comes with quad 12v rails!
This means that each
additional rail helps reduce the stress when the demand becomes too high.
The amps on the four 12v rails add up to be 55A just like the ST65ZF, but
SilverStone specifies that the combined amps shall not exceed 42A. The
3.3v rail is rated well with 33A, but the 5v with a mere 24A is a little
lacking.
Like all of
SilverStone's quality power supplies, the ST60F comes with quite a few
protection features.
One downside to the ST60F is the
efficiency rating. I was hoping that it would be high in the 80% range,
but since it uses the same core as the ST65ZF, the efficiency rating comes in at
75.8%. This is nothing extraordinary, but still better than average.
The main reason why
a large 120mm fan is used in the ST60F is because it provides optimal airflow
without the excessive noise. The decibel rating for the ST60F is at around
24 dBA, which is pretty good when your system is fully housed in a closed case.
