SilverStone Triton 850Rz ATX v3.1 PSU Review

The SilverStone Triton 850Rz has a Gold efficiency certification by Cybenetics and it is also ATX v3.1 compliant. It will be interesting to see how it competes in the popular 850W category. 

The SilverStone Triton 850Rz is (or will be) included in my best ATX v3.x & PCIe 5.x PSU picks article.

SilverStone’s Triton line consists of four models with capacities ranging from 650W to 1000W. All units have compact dimensions with a depth of 140mm. Due to their small dimensions, SilverStone decided to equip them with a 120mm fan, rather than the typical 135/140mm fans typically used. Another notable feature of the new units is their ATX v3.1 compliance, which allows them to deliver up to 200% of their maximum output for short periods without issues. Lastly, SilverStone mentions that they all use Japanese electrolytic capacitors for increased reliability. To obtain accurate data on capacitor performance, I recommend consulting the corresponding Cybenetics database.

The SilverStone Triton 850Rz achieves Gold efficiency in the Cybenetics ETA standard, and it also has a Cybenetics Standard noise (LAMBDA) rating, which means that it doesn’t have a quiet (overall) operation. First of all, this is a compact ATX PSU, measuring only 140mm in length, which increases its power density compared to similar capacity PSUs with larger dimensions. Secondly, it uses a 120mm fan instead of a 135mm or 140mm fan, and the smaller-diameter fan has to spin at higher speeds to provide the same airflow as the larger fans. The two reasons mentioned above notably affect the PSU’s output noise, especially under stressful conditions. This is why I am not a huge fan of compact PSUs with high power density, but I prefer PSUs with larger PCBs, which offer plenty of space between parts for adequate airflow.

In today’s review, I will evaluate the second strongest member of the line, which features a maximum power output of 850W. I have already assessed the 1000W model, which uses a platform provided by CWT (GPX platform).
