CABLES
SX1000 uses large flat unsleeved cables. The 24-PIN cable is proprietary and includes sense cable/connector for better efficiency. Each of the three included 8-PIN PCIe cables include dual 6+2-PIN connectors.
NOISE
The SX1000 features 0RPM upto 300W and outputs between 20~25dB(A) noise upto 700W. The stock fan produces noticable motor noise which is audible alongside the fan noise between 300~700W range. Noise output substantially increases above 700W with max output of 45dB(A) at 1000W. Noise testing data sourced from Cybenetics.
TEARDOWN
The SilverStone SX1000 (v1.1) uses 120x15mm Globe Fan at 12v, 0.45amp (model: B1201512HB) with 2-PIN mini fan header. Mainstream fans from Noctua, Thermalright, Scythe, ARCTIC will not spin-up, when paired with the SilverStone SX1000 due to lower ampage. This means aftermarket fan replacement for the SilverStone SX1000 will be difficult due to very uncommon fan amperage.
