With 750w available you certainly don't want to be shortchanged when it comes to the number of devices that you can hook up. Most power supplies nowadays offer 6x Molex and 4x SATA as a minimum, but will the Strider have anything more to offer?

The ST75F uses exactly the same type of cables as the ST60F. As a result, all cables on the ST75F are professionally sleeved in black mesh right up to the first connector. The sleeving is then held in place with sticky tape and finished off with black shrink-wrap.
It is also worth mentioning that Silverstone sell a shorter modular cable kit for SFF (small form factor) systems. More information on the PP03 kit can be found here.

With 750w on tap and evenly distributed rails, there is no reason why the ST75F wouldn't be capable of Quad-SLI. For this reason Silverstone have included 2x PCI-E cables, each with 2 PCI-E connectors attached to give the unit a total of 4x PCI-E connectors for Quad-SLI compatibility. This does make the ST75F slightly less modular, as users of only one graphics card will need to tuck away the extra cable.



The ST75F comes with a 24-Pin ATX connector and no way of reducing the connector down to 20-Pin. People wanting to use this unit on an older style 20-pin ATX motherboard will need to purchase a 24-Pin to 20-Pin connector separately.
Quite a few of the most recently released motherboards still utilise the 4-Pin (P412v) connector, and for this reason Silverstone have included both P412v and EPS12v (8-pin) cables to ensure full compatibility.

I love my ST60F, but if one of these bad boys had been around when I was about to purchase...I would have spent the extra moolah. Great review as usual Jim, well done
