The SilverStone Extreme 1200R power supply looks to be one of the best SFX PSUs you can buy, thanks to its all-Japanese capacitors, which are capable of providing 1200w output during 24/7 operation.

What a failure. f you have one of the Asus motherboards and jump on a newer used Nvidia or the newest AMD Radeon graphics card, then you'll lack 8-pin connectors from the PSU. Many Asus MB need 8-pin connectors (2x8-pin for the Cpu and 1x8 pin for the MB). All you have left is a single wimpy 8-pin power connector. Not much to power newer modern graphics cards. This PSU isn't meant for other graphics cards than low entry or and brand new nvidia cards with the 12+4 melting mess. Sometimes form factor beat functionality. I wonder how much the saved removing some of the 8-pin power connectors from the PSU panel. They also saved a few $ going with less cables.

same story of forced upgrades 🙁

What are you talking about? This PSU has a standard ATX power cable for motherboard, 2x EPS12V 8 pin (4+4) CPU cables and 4x PCIe 8 pin (6+2) cables.

It doesn't look like you can use some of the PCI-E cables if you use any of the 8-pin EPS connectors as they share space on the modular plate. If you want to use multiple high-end GPUs, being limited to just two or three 8-pin connectors would be a problem. Perhaps Silverstone offers some adapters/cables that'd allow the use of the peripheral ports or the 12v-2x6 port to add more PCI-E connectors.

No that's not a problem the cables each have 2x 6+2 connectors so you can still have up to 4 with the 2x EPS12V. I can see why you'd think that given that the article isn't specific regarding the cables. I did mistype cables though there's only 2x PCIe cables, but 4x connectors.

Safer can't be wrong... at next launch new series will have "five safe upgrades"
nvidia and pci-sig need to be sued and pay for the E-waste... How many good PSU will be trash because those SAFER updates!
