Silverstone Strider 850w ST85F PSU
Cables & Connectors
The ST85F uses exactly the same type of cables as the ST75F. 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.

With 850w on tap and two high-amperage +12v rails, there is no reason why the ST85F wouldn’t be capable of powering any kind of high-end SLI or Crossfire configuration. For this reason Silverstone have included 2x PCI-E cables, each with 2 further PCI-E connectors ‘piggy-backed’ to give support for the latest line of 8800GTX GPU’s. Also included in the box with the ST85F are two 8-Pin PCI-E cables in a similar configuration, for compatibility with future PCI-E cards.
The ATX connector on the ST85F is native 24-pin. However, as you can see above, a small block of 4 connectors can be broken off to switch the connector to 20-pin, and thus make it compatible with older motherboards. As many motherboards still make use of the P4-12v 4-Pin connector, Silverstone have chosen to include two separate cables for P4-12v (4-pin) and EPS12v (8-pin) standards.
