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.

  • Over current protection
  • Under voltage protection
  • Over voltage protection
  • Short circuit
  • No load operation

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.
