This review is from: SeaSonic Platinum SS-860XP2 860W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS PLATINUM Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready
Pros:
WOW. Just, wow. This PSU is everything I wanted and more. It runs cool and dead silent thanks to the "hybrid fan design" - basically it runs fanless unless you hit about 400W, which only happens during benchmarking in my case. And even then the excellent Sanyo Denki fan remains inaudible. It made me realize how loud my old power supply was: there was a small vibration coming from my exhaust fan that I never heard before I got this new PSU. And of course it runs cool, being rated 80+ Platinum. Lots of cables included for all your needs, there's even an additional 8-pin CPU power cable for those crazy overclocking motherboards. It's standard size so it will fit in just about any micro-ATX or ATX case, and most mini-ITX towers.
Cons:
Only real con I can think of are the kinda stiff cables, and it,s not a major issue. Separating the individual wires can help if you really need some more flexibility.
Overall Review:
While it can't really be considered a con, this PSU isn't very cable modding-friendly. Pre-made cable sets for this unit are rare and expensive, and if you want to make your own there are lots of dual wires in the 20+4-pin ATX power cable, you have to be extremely careful to avoid breaking them.
