A non-modular PSU that meets the strict ATX v3.1 specification? SilverStone thought that this would be a good idea and released the Triton RX line. In today’s review I will evaluate the strongest member, with 850W max power to see if this is indeed a good idea, or better go fully-modular even at an increased cost!
The Silverstone Triton line is available in three models, with capacities ranging from 650W to 850W. To keep the cost down, all feature a non-modular cable design, which looks weird nowadays, with flat embossed cables. The OEM behind these products is Andyson, a reputable company that faced significant challenges following EVGA’s collapse. The Triton RX units feature fans with ICB bearings, which are a less common type. Therefore, I will devote some lines to explaining what an ICB bearing is. This is a specific bearing technology known as Integrated Circuit Ball (ICB) bearings, or sometimes referred to as Intelligent Control Bearing, depending on the manufacturer. These bearings are designed to:
- Increase the fan’s lifespan
- Reduce noise
- Enhance thermal performance
- Often include intelligent control features
ICB fans utilize ball bearings, which are tolerant of high temperatures but also prone to bearing noise at low speeds. This is why they use ICs to control the fan speed more effectively. Everything is good so far with the fan’s bearing, except for one thing: the fan I found in this SilverStone unit is a plain rifle bearing fan, not an ICB one.
