Operating Instructions

The SilverStone Strider Platinum series power supplies are designed for efficient and quiet operation.

• Semi-Fanless Operation: The 120mm cooling fan is designed to remain off when the power supply load is below 20%. This provides silent operation during idle or low-power computing activities. The fan will automatically activate as the load increases to maintain optimal temperatures.
• Continuous Power Output: This PSU is rated for 24/7 continuous power output at an operating temperature of 40℃, ensuring stable and reliable power delivery under demanding conditions.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your power supply, periodic maintenance is recommended.

• Dust Removal: Regularly clean dust from the PSU's fan grille and vents using compressed air. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Cable Management: Ensure cables inside your computer case are neatly managed to allow for proper airflow, which helps in cooling the PSU and other components.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your power supply, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Power: Ensure the AC power cord is securely plugged into both the PSU and the wall outlet. Verify that the power switch on the back of the PSU is in the 'On' position. Check your wall outlet or surge protector.
• System Instability/Crashes: Ensure all modular cables are firmly connected to both the PSU and your components. Loose connections can lead to unstable power delivery.
• Fan Not Spinning: Remember that the PSU operates in a semi-fanless mode at low loads. The fan will only spin when the load exceeds 20%. If the fan does not spin under higher loads, ensure proper airflow around the PSU and check for any obstructions.
• Unusual Noises: If you hear unusual noises (e.g., grinding, buzzing), immediately power off your system and unplug the PSU. Do not attempt to open the unit due to high voltage. Contact SilverStone support or your dealer.
