Introduction

Continuing what appears to be “PSU Week” here at XSReviews, we have the Silver Power SP-SS500, a 500w PSU. It’s one of the more low output ones that we’ve reviewed recently, but that shouldn’t stop it from taking up the challenge of our test rig. Let’s see how it holds up to some more expensive, and higher wattage units.
