I could hear some electrical noise (coil whine) throughout its entire load range
The SilverStone NJ520, like the previous fanless units we have seen from both Seasonic and SilverStone (the two companies responsible for this unit) is excellent. However, today, the NJ520 takes this to a bit of a new level as this is not just excellent b...

The NJ520 is entirely white in colour with honeycomb ventilation on every side. Although the grills do detract a little from aesthetics, they serve a purpose in allowing the internal components airflow to keep cool. We can't take points away from Silverst...
Abstract: When it comes to fanless power supplies, there's isn't many to choose from. While the SilverStone Nightjar NJ520 is an excellent option and it's 520 watts, which is more than enough power for most quiet builds. It's 80 Plus Platinum with an efficiency of ...
Silverstone's latest fanless unit is a fantastic one. It's efficient, it's stable, and it's everything you could ever want in a fanless unit. Now, all Silverstone has to do is get the price down by about ten dollars, and they'll be all set.The Good:beyond...

Even though fanless computer PSUs are not a new concept, SilverStone's (or to be exact, Seasonic's) latest design is a refreshing approach. By greatly improving the energy conversion efficiency, there is no longer any need for bulky and expensive cooling...

The SilverStone Nightjar SST-NJ520 fanless power supply occupies a niche market and is targeted towards users who want a silent power supply for use in noise-sensitive areas such as a recording studio or science lab. The NJ520 easily delivered 520W combin...
The main advantage of passive power supplies is supposed to be their lack of noise, but our tests show different results. With a single exception, none of the passive power supplies are immeasurably quiet at a load of 100W. In fact, most models produce mo...
Unfortunately in this test most of the power supplies that we can recommend have a capacity of 550 watt. Between the 350 and 500 watt the offers are a lot less impressive, both in terms of quantity as well as quality. The problem seems to be that for th...
Abstract: AMD is lagging behind a little, but Intel and Nvidia clearly show what the latest trend is: better performance at a lower level of power consumption. As a result, even a 500 watt power supply is more than enough for a PC with a powerful processor and gr...
