Silverstone has implemented two LED lights on the power supply. The first LED co-relates to the temperature of the case and changes color accordingly. The light will stay green for temperatures less than 55 degrees celcius and red for temperature higher than 55 degree celcius. The second LED has the ability to switch between three colors according to the system power level. For example, amber indicates system stand-by mode, green indicates system power on mode, and red indicates power fault issue with the system. Both of these lights will come in handy for quick troubleshooting to make sure that there isn't a fault with the power throughput.

One of the few things you will find unique about this power supply is the weight. It is built out of aluminum, which aid in the silent thermal operation of the power supply, but it also adds quite a bit of weight to the unit. Not to mention the fact that much of the weight is due to the heatpipes and aluminum heatsinks that are inside this power supply. The solid aluminum shielding and the well thoughtout design of the power supply is all well and good, but the weight may discourage some users as it will add to the final weight of the case. If you usually carry your computer to attend LAN parties and the like, you may find the weight an additional hassel.

Another thing you will notice are the ventilation openings at various locations on the power supply. In order to produce a fanless silent product, Silverstone has combined some of the best proven cooling technologies (namely heatpipes) along with ventilation openings for optimal thermal performance. The outer shell and the material (aluminum) of the product is designed in such a way that overheating won't be an issue. Of course, the SST-ST30NF being only 300W won't generate as much heat as a 480W unit.

The back of the power supply contains even more openings for air circulation. We must admit that Silverstone has shown exceptional skills in terms of designing a power supply that is both funtional and noiseless.
