SilverStone Technology 1200 Watt Fully Modular 80 Plus Platinum Power Supply in Ultra Compact 140MM in Depth ST1200-PTS

With the new graphic cards, a higher-watt output power supply is necessary. The GPU manufacturers are specifying up to 1200 watts now to feed their power-hungry cards and if going all-out with two cards leaves you with very few, or no, options. This gives you what you need for up to a single 4090 NVIDIA card. Unfortunately, it is not a PCIe 5.0 spec PSU so you can't use the 12+4 cable on both ends but there are enough 8 socket plugs to use the three 8's to 12+4 adapter supplied by most of the card makers. Getting 1200 wats will cover you if you are adding water cooling or a batch of case fans also. A good quality power supply at a reasonable price sized to give you some extra space to run/store your wires in that new build.

I love that it has enough power for an eventual high end GPU (whenever I can get one) and it surprised me to find that it is smaller than my previous 750 watt PSU. It is so quiet I cannot hear it above my also very quiet fans in the case so they are using great fans as well.

Got a Corsair AX1000 blew up after only 20 minutes of running it so I needed something fast so my computer wouldn't be down for a week. This PSU is running great so far, fan isnt loud powers my 3090 great. Will update if anything changes.

Ran it in a system with non-overclocked 5900x and 10g 3080 as core components. After a little more than a single day while system was under light usage, the psu had a board component explode and let out that all too familiar caustic burning plastic smell. Immediately switched off power cutoff on the back of the unit, pulled apart the system and confirmed using a known good psu that the silverstone unit had exploded after basically only being taken out of the box. The system is running off of battery via a CP1500PFCLCD from cyberpower, so power output is clean. Extremely disappointed, but also extremely glad that none of my other components were seemingly damaged. Absolutely never buying a silverstone powersupply again, I don't care what experience others have, this came very close to killing a lot of extremely expensive components and to fail so quickly shows that the QC done at the factory is simply NOT up to spec. I honestly don't even want to RMA the unit, I'd rather trash it, eat the cost and get a unit from a company I trust more at this point.

This items seems to work fine, it does have a slight buzzing/whining noise when powered on. It is not very noticeable, but if you have a low noise computer you it may cause some disturbance.
