“Decathlon 700 W (a.k.a. DA700) from SilverStone features a full modular cabling system, where even the main motherboard cable is connected thru it, a very uncommon configuration (usually on power supplies with modular cabling system the main motherboard cable comes from inside the unit). This unit also features active PFC and a 120-mm fan, with the manufacturer saying it can deliver its labeled power at 50º C. Let’s see if this is true and if this unit is a good option.”Here are some more Cases & Cooling reviews from around the web:

If you don’t believe in overkill

Higher end rigs with multiple GPUs may not be completely stable on a 500W PSU and some people just might not want to buy a full kilowatt PSU. If you are looking in that 700-800W range, you will not go wrong with the SilverStone Decathlon 700W model. Hardware Secrets’ testing shows it to provide solid power, and the inclusion of four 6-pin connectors and a single 8-pin, plus some unique modular cabling jsut sweetens the deal.
