SilverStone Technology is especially well regarded for their unique computer cases from their micro-ATX Sugo series to their HTPC-oriented Lascala line-up to their flagship Temjin series. SilverStone though does not only pride itself upon designing some of the best (also the most expensive) cases on the market, but they have several lines of performance-oriented power supplies. We have looked at SilverStone’s Strider, Decathlon, Zeus, and Olympia lines before, but never had we looked at a SilverStone NightJar power supply. The NightJar series is SilverStone’s line-up of fan-less power supplies. While there may be no fans so that the power supply can operate silently, the NightJar power supplies are far from being low-end.
The body of the SilverStone NightJar 450W power supply is made of aluminum, but it is not a solid surface. The sides are essentially just a sturdy honeycomb mesh while the surface at the top of the power supply is grated and thicker, but still designed for effective heat dissipation. While fan-less, the power supply looks like a normal power supply besides all of the grated surfaces for providing extra airflow. Unlike some other fan-less power supplies we previously have looked at, the NightJar does not depend upon any heatpipes, is not larger to accommodate a greater heat dissipation area, nor does anything protrude from the rear side for offering greater heat dissipation.
