“SilverStone, despite its image mostly as a high-end case brand, offers an amazing number of power supplies, probably many more than you might think. The 700W DA700 is part of its Decathlon line, geared to “power users”, but they want to pit it against the quietest PSUs tested by SPCR. Naturally, we’re happy to comply.”Here are some more Cases & Cooling reviews from around the web:

Let your cables go free
As SPCR puts it, once nice feature about the SilverStone Decathlon DA700 is it’s complete lack of captive cabling, every single one is removable. While the PSU does not belong to the 80Plus club, the power it delivered was solid as well as clean. Along with their look at the voltage provided, SPCR also focused on what they feel is the most important
quality in any component, the noise it generates. They take the measurements very seriously, they’ve just finished setting up an anechoic chamber
to get their readings in.
