SilverStone Technology, a pioneer in innovative computer hardware solutions, unveils its latest groundbreaking addition to the 19-inch rackmount server chassis market—the RM600 and RM61-312. Designed to exceed conventional standards, the RM600 represents SilverStone's bold venture into the 6U height form factor, showcasing unparalleled cooling performance and versatility for demanding server applications. Additionally, it serves as the foundation upon which the RM61-312 is built.

SilverStone's venture into rackmount workstation chassis with liquid cooling radiator support has opened new horizons for server infrastructure design, setting a precedent for enhanced cooling efficiency and adaptability. The RM600 exemplifies this pioneering spirit. Boasting a 6U height and 19-inch rackmount form factor, it offers unparalleled flexibility by integrating not one, not two, but a total three sets of 360 mm radiator support into its comprehensive design.

SilverStone today introduced the XE04-SP6P, a CPU cooler designed for AMD server/workstation sockets sTR5 and SP6, meant for those that use Ryzen Threadripper chips as server processors in rackmount cases as tall as 4U. The cooler is designed for thermal loads as high as 350 W, but is an aluminium fin-stack heatsink that measures 130 mm x 119 mm x 126 mm (WxHxD). This may look rather small for its thermal capacity in comparison to some desktop D-type coolers; but this is a server cooler, the desktop standards for fan noise go out the window, and a high-powered 92 mm fan is used to ventilate this thing. The cooler's capacity is mainly thanks to the high airflow.

The 92 mm high-powered fan comes pre-installed in a cavity between the fin-stack. It turns at speeds of up to 5,000 RPM, pushing 77.7 CFM of airflow at a phenomenal 10.67 mm H₂O static pressure, and a noise output of 43 dBA. The fan features double-ball bearings, and is rated for 90,000 hours. The nickel-plated copper base comes with a pre-applied thermal compound. From this base, six copper heatpipes convey heat through the fin-stack in a configuration similar to that of a D-type cooler. The cooler weighs 743 g, including its fan and factory-fitted RM. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Cooler Master has sued SilverStone, Enermax, and their common OEM, the Guangdong China-based Apaltek, for patent infringement of designs of their all-in-one, closed-loop liquid CPU coolers. The company has moved the United States District Court in the Central District of California, against the three companies for alleged IP violation in the design of its AIO CLCs. Cooler Master alleges that the three companies violate U.S. Patent numbers 10,509,446; 11,061,450; and D856,941 held by it. The infringing products referenced in the Lawsuit are SilverStone IceMyst 240, PF240, PF240W, IceGem 360, VIDA 240 Slim, and RGB Controller, and the Enermax Aquafusion ADV, Liqmax III ARGB, Liqtech 360 TR4 II Slim, and RGB Controller. Apaltek doesn't have any products in the retail channel under its own brand, but is being sued as the original technology supplier for SilverStone and Enermax.

Specifically, the Cooler Master suit alleges that the pump-inside-radiator design choice is a Cooler Master invention; as is the ARGB mini-controller. It also alleges infringement in the essential design of the coolers. It seeks damages and legal costs in Relief. One of the three defendants has reached out to TechPowerUp with a comment, in which it says that it finds it interesting that Cooler Master, which itself defended a similar patent infringement lawsuit against Asetek in 2016-17 would go on to allege patent infringement with smaller competitors such as Enermax and SilverStone, while leaving out certain other customers of Apaltek, such as MSI. They stated that they intend to defend their designs in the Court. This defendant termed Cooler Master's behavior as being that of a "bully."All pages from the Cooler Master lawsuit follow.

SilverStone today introduced its premium air based CPU cooler, the Hydrogon D140 ARGB (model: SST-HYD140-ARGB). As its name might suggest, this is a D-type (dual fin-stack) cooler that uses fans as large as 140 mm for ventilation, and hence fits into the large+heavyweight category of air coolers, targeting the segment of the market that really wants to avoid AIO coolers. The cooler uses a mirror-finish nickel-plated copper base, through which six 6 mm-thick heatpipes pass, which skewer the two fin-stacks on either of their ends. The two fin-stacks are capped off by a top-plate.

There are two fans involved in ventilating the heatsink, meant to be installed in a push-pull configuration. The "push" fan is a 120 mm, while the "pull" fan, located between the two fin-stacks, is a larger 140 mm spinner. Both fans come with addressable RGB LED illumination, and feature hydraulic bearings. The 120 mm fan turns at speeds ranging between 500 to 2,200 RPM, pushing up to 83.68 CFM of airflow at up to 4.01 mm H₂O static pressure, and up to 35.5 dBA of noise. The 140 mm fan, on the other hand, turns between 400 to 1,750 RPM, pushing up to 93 CFM of airflow at 2.24 mm H₂O static pressure, and up to 30.8 dBA of noise. With its fans in place, the cooler measures 140 mm x 160 mm x 136 mm (WxHxD), weighing 1.22 kg. Among the CPU socket types supported are LGA1700, AM5, LGA1200, AM4, and LGA2066. The company didn't reveal pricing.

SilverStone today introduced what is possibly the highest Wattage PSU in the SFX-L form-factor, the Extreme1200R Platinum. This contemporary PSU meets SFX12V 4.1 specification, which is comparable to ATX 3.1, along with PCIe CEM 5. It includes a native 12V-2x6 power connector capable of 600 W continuous power delivery and excursions within the PCIe Gen 5 spec. 12V-2x6 is a successor to 12VHPWR, and is designed to be less flimsy and prone to burn-outs than 12VHPWR, from improper connector coupling or cable bending.

The SilverStone Extreme1200R Platinum delivers 1200 W using a single 100 A +12 V rail, with Cybenetics Platinum rated switching efficiency. It comes with an all Japanese capacitor design, with most common electrical protections, against over/under voltage, overload, overheat, and short-circuit. A 120 mm fluid dynamic bearing fan is used to keep cool. Connectors include a 24-pin ATX, two 4+4 pin EPS, a 600 W 12V-2x6, four 6+2 pin PCIe, eight SATA power, three 4-pin Molex, and a Berg. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Most of us are fortunate enough not to need a monster power supply in our PCs, but for those that do, SilverStone has launched an updated version of its 2050 Watt HELA 2050 power supply, simply named the HELA 2050R. It delivers no less than 170 Ampere on its 12 V rail and SilverStone claims a power density of 882 Watts per liter. The updated version comes with a pair of 12VHPWR connectors, with one modular cable with two GPU connectors and one modular cable with a single GPU connector.

The HELA 2050R is rather amazingly only 180 mm deep and in addition to the 12VHPWR connector it also has three standard 6+2 GPU connector with support for up to 14 GPU connectors, as well as support for up to 12 SATA drives, three Molex connectors, one floppy drive type connector and of course, the standard ATX and EPS power connectors. Note that the HELA 2050R is limited to 200-240 Volt input, as a standard 115 Volt outlet would be limited to 1650 Watt. No pricing was announced, but considering that the HELA 2050 is retailing for well over US$500, it's not expected that the 2050R will be any cheaper.

SilverStone introduced the XE360-SP5, an all-in-one liquid CPU cooler for AMD Socket SP5, making it fit for servers and workstations based on the EPYC "Genoa" and "Genoa-X" processors, and its upcoming Ryzen Threadripper HEDT processors, assuming AMD sticks to this socket infrastructure. The cooler features a copper water block that's optimized for the chiplet design of Socket SP5 processors, considering the hottest components (the up to twelve "Zen 4" CCDs) are toward the edges, and the central region has the relatively cooler sIOD. The block does not have an integrated pump, which makes it 1U-capable. It measures 92 mm (W) x 25 mm (H) x 118 mm (D). The block is made of nickel-plated copper, with come of its structural parts being made of aluminium.

A set of 46 cm-long coolant tubes connects the block to the 28 mm-thick 360 mm x 120 mm radiator. This radiator has an integrated pump that turns at speeds of up to 4,000 RPM. A set of three SilverStone 120 mm fans comes included, each of these takes in 4-pin PWM input, turns at speeds ranging between 600 to 2,800 RPM, with a noise level of up to 46 dBA, airflow of up to 87.72 CFM, and 3.09 mm H₂O pressure. The company didn't reveal pricing.

SilverStone earlier this week announced the SUGO 17, a stretched version of the SUGO 16 that the company had launched in 2021. These are compact cuboidal tower cases. The new SUGO 17 is significantly deeper, with dimensions of 202 mm x 451 mm x and 286 mm (WxDxH), with the added depth creating room for a large, contemporary enthusiast-class graphics card that is 4 slots thick, and up to 40 cm in length, and 17.4 cm in height. SilverStone advertises this firmly as a Micro-ATX case, as it has 4 expansion slots exactly where you'd want them. Nearly every air-cooled, custom-design GeForce RTX 4090 or Radeon RX 7900 XTX that we know of, should fit comfortably.

The SilverStone SUGO 17 orients the Micro-ATX/Mini-ITX motherboard upside down, similar to BTX, so the upper compartment of the case is made entire up for room for the graphics card, without needing any PCIe risers, while the bottom half has room for a tower-type CPU cooler that's up to 15.8 cm in height. The frontal region of the case has room for a standard ATX (PS/2) PSU, but you can also use smaller SFX-L or SFX PSUs. Ventilation features include three 120 mm or two 140 mm fan vents along the top, three 120 mm along the right side, four 80 mm along the left side, and a 120 mm rear exhaust. Storage options include two 2.5-inch mounts, and a 3.5-inch bay that can also be used to hold onto a third 2.5-inch drive. You can mount liquid cooling radiators as large as 360 mm along the top- and right-side panels. The case comes in black and white color variants.

SilverStone showcased a large selection of new and upcoming PSUs at Computex 2023. The star attraction at their booth was the HELA 2050R Platinum (model: SST HA2050R PM), which is, well, hela powerful. This 2050 W PSU comes with two 16-pin 12VHPWR connectors each capable of 600 W continuous output, besides close to a dozen 6+2 pin PCIe power connectors. It includes a flattened, ribbon-type 12VHPWR cable that the company claims is "super flexible." The PSU meets both ATX 3.0 and PCIe Gen 5 standards. It meets Cybenetics Platinum switching efficiency. SilverStone plans to launch the HELA 2050R Platinum toward the end of June, 2023. This model will be joined by the HELA 1650R (SST HA1650R PM) later this year. This 1650 W model retains much of the feature-set of its 2050 W sibling, but in a lower depth body. You still get two 16-pin 12VHPWR connectors, the same Cybenetics Platinum switching efficiency, and those flat black 12VHWPR flexible cables. SilverStone plans to launch the HELA 1650R in September 2023.

A drawback of liquid-cooling your CPU has been to leave the other hot components around your CPU socket without a source of passive airflow. SilverStone is planning to address this, with their IceMyst line of AIO CPU coolers. These coolers feature puck-shaped pump-blocks, their top covers come off, so you could telescopically stack up a few fans. Each of these 70 mm fans comes with an 8-shaped frame, with one half of it stacking up with the block and providing the rest of the frame with 360-degree mobility, and the other holding the motor and impeller in place.

You can position them anywhere around the pump-block, so you can direct airflow to components such as the memory slots, VRM heatsinks, M.2 SSD heatsinks, etc. SilverStone even showed us an example of a stack with 7 of these fans. The IceMyst series comes in four models based on radiator size—240 mm x 120 mm, 280 mm x 140 mm, 360 mm x 120 mm, and 420 mm x 140 mm. By default, these coolers don't include any of those stackable fans, they're meant to be purchased separately as part of IMF70 IceMyst Upgrade Kits. SilverStone plans to launch the IceMyst AIO series, and its companion Upgrade Kits, in July 2023.

SilverStone showed up to Computex with a variety of new cases on offer covering everything from a hybrid rack-mountable / pedestal 5U, to a retro-inspired April Fool's joke, to their largest and flashiest ATX full-tower to date. SilverStone has a reputation for quality and over engineering and it clearly shows in this year's selection. Starting off with the most engineered, and likely most expensive: the recently released Alta F2 was on display with a fully water cooled build showing off the expansive options available in the giant tower. Alta F2 utilizes a 90 degree rotated configuration taking design elements from the older Raven and Fortress series of cases. What the Alta F2 does different is where it allows the GPU to be installed; along the left side (traditionally the back) there are three expansion slots tilted at precisely 11.3 degrees.

These tilted slots are intended to offer as much forced air cooling as possible to the GPU from the bottom mounted 180 mm Air Penetrator 184i PRO fans, and SilverStone dialed in this angle to decimal precision to ensure this. There still exists a standard 9-slot layout along the top of the case (remember, everything is rotated 90 degrees so that's where the "back" is) for those that fill every slot on their motherboard. Since airflow moves bottom-to-top there are intake filters lining the lower chamber of the chassis, and the top panel is almost entirely open for exhaust. The lower chamber is also setup to allow four 3.5 inch drives to be mounted, while four more drives can be mounted in the optional forward mounted, and also angled, drive cages. The Alta F2 has already reached retail and demands a hefty $800 USD price point.

SilverStone today unveiled the ALTA F2, its flagship gaming PC case. The case features a unique internal layout that maximizes component cooling using stack-effect cooling. The motherboard tray is rotated 90° such that its I/O faces the top of the case, while airflow from three large 180 mm Air Penetrator 184i PRO fans with air-channeling surfaces, direct air drawn from the bottom of the case onto almost all surfaces inside the case. There are three ways to orient your graphics card. The first of course sees it installed directly onto the motherboard, with its I/O facing the top, the next one sees it rotated, with its I/O still facing the top, but its fan vents facing the side-panel. The third and most unique orientation, sees the graphics card installed with its I/O pointing to the rear, but tilted sideways at a 11-degree angle.

The bottom chamber of the case is mostly empty, and serves as an air source for the 180 mm intake fans, but there are four 3.5-inch/2.5-inch mounts, should you want a handful drives located there. Three additional 2.5-inch drives can be mounted along spots on the motherboard tray, while four 3.5-inch drives can be mounted in a cage located in the front side. You get a total of 17 expansion slot possibilities—9 along the motherboard tray, 4 with a portion of it rotated, and 4 toward the rear.

SilverStone today introduced the SX1000R Platinum, a 1000 W power supply in the SFX-L form-factor. The PSU meets SFX 12 V 4.0 (analogous to ATX 3.0), and PCI-Express Gen 5. It should offer identical power-delivery and excursion tolerance characteristics to a conventional ATX 3.0 + PCIe Gen 5-rated PSU. Internally, the SX1000R Platinum features a single +12 V rail design with a single 83.3 A rail, DC-to-DC switching to other voltage domains, and most common electrical protections, against over/under-voltage, overload, overheat, and short-circuit.

The PSU meets Cybenetics Platinum electrical switching efficiency ratings, Its 120 mm dual ball-bearing fan features idle fan-off as long as the load is under 200 W. Among the connectors provided by the SilverStone SX1000R Platinum are one 24-pin ATX, two 8-pin EPS, one 16-pin 12VHPWR with 600 W continuous power delivery capability, four 6+2 pin PCIe power, eight SATA power, three Molex, and one Berg. The company didn't reveal pricing or availability information.

SilverStone introduced the RM51, a 5U rackmount case meant for servers and workstations, which can be tilted along its side to be used as a tower-type case. It supports motherboard form-factors that include SSI-EEB, SSI-CEB, E-ATX, and smaller. There are two PSU bays on offer, the main one being a conventional ATX/PS2; while a second SFX PSU can be deployed by replacing a 3.5-inch bracket. Internal drive bays include four 2.5-inch, and up to four 3.5-inch. You get room for a graphics card up to 455 mm in length, and depending on whether you use the expansion slot retainer, either 157 mm or 198 mm of height. The same goes to CPU coolers—181 mm with it, and 192 mm without.

The cooling setup of the SilverStone RM51 includes a mesh-type front intake that can hold either three 120 mm fans, or two 180 mm fans. Two 180 mm Air Penetrator 184i PRO are included with the case. The rear fan-cage holds two 80 mm, and there's another 140 mm vent at the rear I/O. You can mount up to a 360 mm radiator along the front intake, and a 120 mm radiator along the rear exhaust. Including the rear fan-cage, the case measures 440 mm (W) x 220 mm (H) x 485 mm (D). The case should be available in Asia and North America from the second half of February, priced at USD $489.99, with European availability expected in March.

SilverStone on Wednesday introduced Extreme 850R Platinum, the world's first SFX power supply based on the SFX12V 4.0 standard, which has specifications comparable to ATX 3.0, and offers a 16-pin 12VHPWR connector capable of 450 W continuous output with excursion-tolerance within ATX 3.0 and PCIe Gen 5 specs, and improved sleep/wake performance.

The SilverStone Extreme 850R Platinum, as its name suggests, is an 850 W power supply, with Cybenetics Platinum switching efficiency. Under the hood is a single +12 V design with APFC, LLC, most common electrical protections (against over/under voltage, overload, and overheat); and 100% Japanese electrolytic capacitors. A 92 mm fluid dynamic bearing fan is used to cool the PSU, which is tuned to be fanless up to 150 W load, and 35-40% speed between 150-600 W load. Connectors of this fully-modular PSU include a 24-pin ATX, two 4+4 pin EPS, a 16-pin 12VHPWR connector keyed for 450 W, two 6+2 pin PCIe power, eight SATA power, and five legacy connectors. Available now and backed by a 5-year warranty, the SilverStone Extreme 850R Platinum is priced at USD $215.99.

SilverStone Technology today announced the immediate availability of the latest installment from the MILO series line, MILO 12 - a 15.6L slim and compact Mini-ITX case suitable as a HTPC system that sits next to your TV or as a high-performance workstation.

MILO 12 sports a dual-chamber internal body structure as the ML08 and RVZ03, but with few adjustments and enhancements to adhere to today's high-end hardware standards. A modular design has also been implemented which allows for all 4 panels (top, bottom, left & right side) to be removed for a simple and convenient build process.

Silverstone HELA 850R Platinum is probably the first ATX 3.0 + PCIe Gen 5 PSU you can actually buy. It's listed on Amazon for $215. Silverstone had debuted the HELA series in late-2021, but originally with the 12-pin Molex MicroFit 3.0 connector for seamless connectivity with RTX 30-series Founders Edition graphics cards. It's since been updated with a newer connector for PCIe Gen 5. The 850 W PSU meets ATX 3.0 standards, as well as offers an 12+4 pin ATX12HPWR connector. The PSU can handle +100% excursions for 100 µs, a requirement for offering the ATX12HPWR connector. Inside, you'll get a single +12 V rail design, Cybenetics Platinum efficiency, and a 135 mm fluid dynamic bearing fan. Other connectors include six 6+2 pin PCIe, two 8-pin EPS, and a large number of SATA-power and Molex connectors.

SilverStone today introduced the FARA 311, a Micro-ATX tower case with room for some legacy devices, such as a 5.25-inch drive. Inside, you'll get a single-compartment layout with the PSU bay located at the top, next to the 5.25-inch bay, and the motherboard tray below. The motherboard tray serves up room for graphics cards up to 35.4 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 15.6 cm in height. The PSU needs to be no more than 14 cm in length to not obstruct the wiring of your 5.25-inch bay. Speaking of which, the 5.25-inch bay is designed such that in the absence of a 5.25-inch drive, you can mount a 3.5/2.5-inch drive; another 3.5/2.5-inch drive below, mount a 2.5-inch along the motherboard tray, and another 3.5-inch/2.5-inch drive along the bottom panel. Ventilation includes two 120 mm front intakes (including support for 240 mm radiators), and a 120 mm rear exhaust. The case measures 410 mm x 360 mm x 183 mm (LxHxW). The company didn't reveal pricing.

SilverStone today introduced the RM44, a workstation or small-business server case, which is designed to be used both as a tower, or as a 4U rackmount. The case supports SSI-EEB, SSI-CEB, E-ATX, ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX form-factors; a single ATX power-supply, eight full-height expansion slots, and cooling that includes two 80 mm rear exhausts, and three 120 mm front intakes. As you can see from the pics below, the case can even be used to build the most inconspicuous high-end gaming PC. A steel reinforcement running along the length of the case holds a couple of 3.5-inch drives or three 2.5-inchers, and can firmly hold your add-on cards in place. included is a stand that lets you orient the case as a tower, while rails let you mount it in a rack. The case measures 440 mm x 176 mm x 468 mm (WxHxD). Front-panel connectivity includes two USB 3.2 type-A, and a USB 3.2 type-C. The company didn't reveal pricing.

The case features x4 expansion slots, x1 optical drive bay, x2 drive bays, x2 front USB 3.0, and can accommodate dual 80 mm cooling fans. SilverStone had not revealed pricing or availability information for the Milo 11 chassis at the time of writing.

SilverStone is readying the VIDA Silm line of all-in-one liquid CPU coolers. The cooler will come in variants based on radiator size, and in the future perhaps even in a white color trim. The star attraction is the cooler's slim water-block, and the 22 mm-thick radiator. Depending on the radiator size, you get one or more 15 mm-thick 120 mm fans, which takes the total radiator thickness (with fan(s) installed), to just 38 mm. The fans turn at speeds of up to 1,850 RPM, pushing, up to 68.33 CFM of airflow, and 2.59 mm H₂O pressure. The company didn't announce pricing or availability.

SilverStone today introduced the TP06, an M.2 NVMe SSD heatsink and cover for the PlayStation 5 system. The heatsink is designed for SSDs in the M.2-2280 form-factor that lack heatsinks, and is shaped to double up as a cover for the M.2 NVMe drive bay of the PlayStation 5. The heatsink is a 67.5 gram chunk of aluminium with a solid surface making contact with the drive, and ridges on the other side that dissipate heat. Besides the heatsink, the package includes a thermal pad, screws tested for compatibility with the PS5, and a screwdriver. The company didn't reveal pricing.

SilverStone today introduced the Shark Force 160 ARGB case fan. As its name suggests, this is a 160 mm diameter fan, but it also offers a maximum air-flow of 160 CFM. The fan is designed such that the impeller's diameter is 160 mm, but the frame itself can be mounted in 140 mm vents, provided there's enough clearance around them for a larger frame than what 140 mm fans typically come with.

The Shark Force 160 ARGB features a fluid-dynamic bearing, and turns at speeds of up to 1,600 RPM, pushing up to 160 CFM of airflow, at up to 2.21 mm H₂O static-pressure, and up to 38.1 dBA noise output. It takes in a 4-pin PWM connector for its main function, and 3-pin ARGB for its lighting, which consists of ARGB LEDs studded in the hub. The fan measures 160 mm x 160 mm x 25 mm, weighing 220 g. The company didn't reveal pricing.

SilverStone introduced the GM series of redundant PSUs in the PS/2 mini-redundant form-factor. These are functionally similar to the Twins PRO series from FSP. Much like the Twins PRO, the SilverStone GM-series features two detachable and hot-swappable sub-units. The series includes two models based on capacity, the GM 600 Silver, and the GM 800 Silver, with capacities of 600 W and 800 W, respectively.

Both models offer Cybenetics Silver-rated efficiency. Each sub-unit features a single +12 V rail design, and relies on a pair of 40 mm server-grade fans to keep cool. Each of these fans has a maximum noise output of 51 dBA. You get most common electrical protections, against over/under-voltage, overload, overheat, and short-circuit. The main body, which docks the sub-units, puts out fixed cabling. The GM 600 Silver is expected to be priced at USD $599.99, and the GM 800 Silver at $699.99, when the two start shipping late-March in Asia, and April for the rest of the world.

SilverStone unveiled the SX750 Gold (model: SST-SX0750MCGD-A), a premium modular power supply in the SFX form-factor that's capable of 750 W continuous output. This is a slight step-down from the original SX750 that the company debuted in Q4-2020, as it offers 80 Plus Gold-rated switching efficiency, compared to the original's 80 Plus Platinum. Besides the 24-pin ATX, you get three 4+4 pin EPS connectors, four 6+2 pin PCIe connectors, eight SATA power, and three 4-pin Molex.

Under the hood, the SX750 Gold features a single +12 V rail design using a single 62.5 A rail, 100% Japanese capacitors, active PFC, and most common electric protections, against over/under-voltage, overload, overheat, and short-circuit. It uses a 92 mm hydro-dynamic bearing fan to keep cool, with under 30% the fan-speed when the load is below 300 W, and 18 dBA maximum noise output. The company didn't reveal pricing.
