![]() | This passive Power Supply incorporates heat pipes to get rid of the generated heat, without active components its a premier choice for any silent setup, but does it pack enough punch to power the latest hardware? http://www.silverstonetek.com/products-st30nf.htm

This passive PSU becomes quite hot (65+°C) but nowhere close to a boiling point. It was powering a pretty hefty system too! Overclocked A64 Vmodded R9800XT 2x HD 2x CDrom during stress testing the temp rose quite high, with a room temperature of 20-22°C... but the PC never experienced crashes or instabilities, those heatsinks inside the PSU are doing their job well!
