Equipped with a new generation of design and components, the Element ST50EF continues SilverStone's stride toward more efficient power supplies. With higher than 80% efficiency across all loading conditions (from 20% to 100%), the ST50EF produces less wasted heat than typical power supplies and allows the included 120mm fan to operate at minimal speeds, ensuring silent operation for nearly all applications. This stable output and efficient characteristics are packed inside an environmentally-friendly casing that is compatible with nearly any ATX enclosures on the market. If strong power for dual core/dual video card processing and silence are the main priorities, the Element st50ef-plus is for you.

Despite a few quibbles the Element Plus has proved itself a worthy product, with very strong fundamentals. It's well regulated, highly efficient, and didn't start to get noisy until 300W output.
The SilverStone Element ST50EF-Plus high efficiency power supply combines excellent build quality with high efficiency, solid output voltages, and delivers up to 500 watts while running cool and quiet.

I bought this based on the reviews, and I couldn't be happier. It runs nice and quiet, cables are of a decent length, and it looks cool. :)

I purchased this power supply based on all the reviews and user opinions I've heard over the past many months. Needless to say I am not the least bit disappointed--and I'd highly recommend this to anyone.

Stable voltages give me decent overclocking room without a hiccup. The build is of high quality and so are the components inside. This is my second SilverStone PSU, and I am happy with both. I will not hesitate buying from SS should I need another PSU.

Despite the investment of purchasing a gaming tower, many people overlook the importance of having a quality power supply. Don't be one of them! The Silverstone Element ST50EF is surprisingly good value, don't let the price scare you away as it worth every penny.

This seems like a great power supply so far. I bought it based on the good reviews and by the praise it received from NCIX's very own power supply guy, SKYMTL.

It's silent. To hear it, you have to actually try. Way better than my 50$ generic 550W PS from some computer store. Add some cash and buy a better PS, for sure. Stays fairly cool. Don't have the tools to test the specs but it runs fine.

probably the most underrated psu out there. Includes molex and sata power cables, and is ATX 2.2 compliant. Very sleek and quiet. Amazing buy - outperforms all of the psu's in its category.

Took the advice of Skymtl and bought this for my new rig. However my older rig's PSU (Fortron) always was loud with any type of stresses to the system and recently I'm doing lots of activity that stresses they sytem and was really getting tired of the noise.

Silverstone doesn't fail to impress. So far it has proven to be very reliable with my OCed gaming system, and was painless to set up. Aesthetics-wise, the black finish looks good and I can't hear the fan. A good bang-for-the-buck PSU when it's on sale.
