In addition to the FSP with the Cannon Pro 2500, Silverstone now offers a power supply for workstations with particularly demanding requirements with the HeLa 2500 RZ. For example, four RTX 5080s or three RTX 5090s can be supplied with four native 12V-2×6 connections.

The available output power depends on the input voltage. The C20 power socket only allows the full output power of 2,500 W at an input voltage of 200 to 240 volts. At 103 V, this must be reduced to 1,650 W, and at 90 V, it only delivers 1,350 watts. In addition to the 12V-2×6 connectors according to the latest ATX 3.1 standard, there are also seven conventional 8-pin connectors. On the other hand, there is only one individual 24-pin connector, so only one system can be supplied.
Dual ball bearing fan with semi-passive control
The power supply is cooled by a 135 mm fan, which remains stationary even at low loads up to nearly 250 W of output power. If necessary, fan control can also be activated via a switch on the rear. The efficiency of the HELA 2500RZ is specified with Cybenetics Platinum, although there are currently no test reports that can be concluded on the load-dependent efficiency course. With a depth of 200 mm, a power density of 969 p / l can be achieved in the ATX format, which is on a par with the FSP counterpart.
A complete protective circuit system is offered, providing overcurrent protection for the high-power 203.8-A 12-volt rail on a single channel (single rail). The price and market launch date are still unknown.
