Specifications

The SilverStone ST1500-GS power supply supports the ATX12V and EPS12V standards along with Intel Haswell CPU support. The ST1500-GS is rated for a combined, continuous output power of up to 1,500 watts at 40°C operating temperature with a peak output power of 1,600 watts for brief periods (=12 seconds). The power supply is fully modular and all cables are of the flat ribbon style construction.

The ST1500-GS PSU incorporates two high amperage +12V outputs that can each deliver up to 70A, with a total combined capacity of 120A (1440W). The PSU includes universal AC line input (automatically adjusts the AC line voltage) and active PFC, which makes the unit more environmentally friendly to the local power grid. And last but not least, the ST1500-GS is 80 Plus Gold certified for high efficiency (at least 87% to 90% efficient between 20% and 100% load).

One of the ST1500-GS’s unique features is a compact chassis that measures only 180mm (7.1”) deep, which is considerably smaller than the usual 220mm (8.7”) of most other 1500W PSUs.
