Silverstone Hela Series 850R Platinum (850W)

Rating: 8.5.

Silverstone recently launched a new series of HELA Platinum power supplies and today we look at their 850 watt model, priced at around £220 in the UK. This unit is fully modular with an ultra-quiet 135mm fluid dynamic bearing fan and incorporates Japanese capacitors throughout.

We consider 80 Plus Gold certified power supplies an entry level option now for our audience, so when we get offered Platinum or Titanium power supplies we see this as a good thing. To achieve such efficiency, companies generally have to spend a little more on higher quality components which we like.

HELA 850 PLATINUM AT A GLANCE:

• 100% modular cables.
• Super flexible black flat cables.
• All Japanese electrolytic capacitors.
• Supports 12VHPWR PCIe connector with ATX 3.0 and PCIe Gen 5 standard.
• 24/7 continuous power output with 50c operating temperature.
• 180° angled SATA connectors designed for stack mounted hard drives.
