Silverstone Zeus 560w ST56ZF ATX PSU
Conclusion
Published: 7th June 2006 | Source: Silverstone | Price: |
The Zeus 560w ST56ZF is yet another great power supply from Silverstone. The voltage stability under load was excellent and despite the fact that Silverstone neglected to include the efficiency ratings on the packaging, the ST56ZF actually faired very well in our tests.
All of these excellent attributes are only let down by the noise of the ST56ZF both at idle an under load, which will leave the silent PC builders among us reaching for the earplugs.
Retailing for £86 over at Scan.co.uk the ST56ZF is slightly more expensive that 560w offerings from other manufacturers. However, with a name like Etasis under the hood, you can be sure that this power supply will serve you well long into the future.
Pro's
- Stable and powerful rails
- Efficient in our tests
- Internals made by Etasis
- Plenty of connectors
- Adjustable Pots
Con's
- Not all rails sleeved
- Not the best looking of PSU's
- Noisy regardless of load.
Thanks to Silverstone for providing this unit for review.

Most notable of the specifications, is the fact that the ST56ZF only has a single +12v rail rated at 32a which is quite rare in modern day power supplies.
saw this on page 2.
the Zeus 560w is actually 10m longer than its brother the Strider, but should still pose no problems fitting in any ATX case.
