A Closer Look (Cont’d)
The SilverStone Zeus 850W power supply has a full assortment of cables and connectors. The main wiring harnesses measure approximately 22′ long to the first connector and all of the cables are covered with black plastic mesh sleeving.
- Main power connector (24-pin)
- ATX 12V (4-pin) using adapter from EPS 12V 8-pin
- EPS 12V (8-pin)
- EPS 12V Aux (6-pin)
- (4) PCI Express (6-pin) hard-wired
- (6) Peripheral Optical/HDD (4-pin)
- (2) Peripheral FDD (4-pin)
- (6) Serial ATA (15-pin)
While the +12V ATX 4-pin adapter will work fine for the majority of users, I would prefer to see a second 8-pin EPS connector that could be split into two 4-pinners for even greater flexibility and compatibility.
Here are a few pictures showing the layout and components inside the Zeus 850W power supply. The single 80mm fan in located at the front of the power supply and blows air down between the two main circuit boards.
