[SOLVED] SFX compatibility with ATX

[Vesperduck]

Hey all,

I recently got a small form factor PSU (Silverstone SX-700-PT) without noticing it was a small form factor PSU, so I'm wondering whether it can still be used with ATX components safely, namely an ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming motherboard, and an MSI RTX 2060.

Appreciate any help, thanks.

All the cables are the same it’s just the size (and price). I got a SFX PSU for my system which was DOA so I just used my old ATX and works fine.

It will require an adapter plate to connect it to the case. It may have shipped with one, if not Silverstone sells the adapter plate.
