Silverstone DA1000R 1000W Cybernetics Gold ATX 3.0 PCIe 5.0 PSU Review

A Closer Look

The PSU itself looks great, with a nicely designed fan grill on the top, that features a triangular cut metal pattern, which we see on many Silverstone products, such as their cases and coolers, so the aesthetics will match the rest of their range.

Down the side, there’s a large sticker, with the DA1000R logo, as well as the new Cybernetics Gold rating.

And then the same sticker on the other side but inverted.

The connectors are plentiful here, with a 24+6 feeding to the 24-pin, now, I’ve never seen that setup before, but I assume it’s going to help deliver better voltage stability to the motherboard. There are a good amount of PCIe and EPS connectors, three peripheral connectors, and of course, the latest 12VHPWR too.

On the bottom, you have your specifications and safety rating sticker, and as you can see, this unit can deliver a whopping 83.5A totalling 1000W on a single large +12V rail.

At the back, there’s a good amount of ventilation, the AC line-in, a master power switch, and also a semi-fanless mode switch.
