Overview
The SilverStone ST1200-PTS packaging is identical to what we saw with the ST1000-PTS save for where things are labeled for this unit’s power output levels. Once more, the front of the package has a column of advertising that includes things such as “Compact design with a depth of 140mm for easy integration”, “High efficiency with 80 PLUS Platinum certification”, “100% modular cables”, “24/7 continuous power output with 40℃ operating temperature”, etc. Among those things, though, we see that SilverStone is advertising this unit as adhering to the 80 Plus Platinum standard of efficiency and a quick check of the 80 Plus website shows that this unit is indeed certified for 80 Plus Platinum. Moving to the rear of the packaging, we find the advertising carry over from the front of the package, but with pictures, or graphs, and more text accompanying these items. On the sides of the packaging, we find the power label (reproduced below) and the connector count (reproduced below). Lastly, the ST1200-PTS carries a 5-year warranty.
The ST1200-PTS is advertised as being a single 12v rail power supply with a capacity up to 100A (or ~100% of the unit’s capacity) if necessary. The minor rails (5v and 3.3v) have a capacity of 22A and 25A, respectively, and the combined capacity of those two rails is 120W. Combined with these outputs, we find that this unit has 8 PCIe connectors, 8 SATA connectors, and 6 Molex connectors just like the ST1000-PTS has.
Once we open the SilverStone ST1200-PTS packaging, we see the same assortment of items that we saw with the ST1000-PTS. This includes the unit, power cord, mounting screws, fan filter, Velcro ties, cables, and user manuals. The user manuals include the usual pinout guide, power label, and the very complete electrical specifications that we typically (as well as today) see from SilverStone. With that out of the way, let’s move on to see what this unit looks like when we open it up!
