SeaSonic G Series SSR-650RM 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Pros: Newegg's service and delivery. Sale priced and with a rebate. Seasonic DOES pay their rebates. Ease of installation with modular arrangement of cables. Energy star rated 80plus gold. Draws only 9 amps from the wall. My energy meter shows the difference from 80plus bronze units, bill does also. 5 year warranty.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: 11 systems and they are all powered with this PSU. Older and new. The product speaks for itself.

Pros: Amazing value from a very reputable manufacturer. Unexpected features at this price point including excellent protection and cooling, semi modular design, and most impressively, an 80+ gold efficiency rating. Haswell processor support. Very sturdy construction. Extremely quiet operation. I had to double check that the fan was actually spinning. I couldn't hear it at all. I still can't. And it's right next to me.

Cons: The CPU cable was a tight reach for my NZXT Phantom 410 mid tower case. It will reach, but, you'll have to spend some time working out the kinks and loosening it up. I'm very particular about cable management. So, this is a rather moot point. It's not a big deal. With all the features this unit offers, it's very easily overlooked. After all, it still reached!

Overall Review: I've done a lot of research on PSU's. SeaSonic is one of the top brands out there. Ask anyone who takes PC building seriously and they'll agree that SeaSonic is a solid and trustworthy name to be powering your sensitive components.

Pros: -This unit is very quiet. I can hear my water pump over it. -I've never had the fan ramp up past silent, it stays surprisingly cool to the touch. I have yet to feel anything but cold air coming out of the PSU. This is due to the over-engineering Seasonic is known for. - Very basic design. 120mm fan is user replaceable.

Cons: - Very low quality modular cables. When bending the cables, It feels like you're going to snap them. - Anti-consumer RMA policy. They do a great job of scaring you as soon as you open the package. A card states that if you send this back and it is found to have no issues (according to them), they will charge you a substantial fee. I feel like this is worth taking an egg off.

Overall Review: Seasonic and FSP are the only ODM suppliers that also sell their PSU's to the general market. For example the majority of Corsair units are made by Seasonic and rebranded. FSP and Seasonic are some of the highest quality PSU's on the market, the G series is no exception. This is an excellent choice for a 24/7 gaming/workstation build.

Pros: - Just a good PSU, good quality, no issues in almost 5 yrs. - I don't think I've ever heard any fan noise coming from this PSU in 5 years.. whisper quiet

Cons: - none

Overall Review: *knock on wood* hopefully this PSU stays strong for years to come still, not go kaplunk after me writing a very positive review like life goes sometimes.. This PSU was running a desktop with: Intel Core i5 4670K overclocked to 4.3Ghz AsRock Z87 Fatal1ty Killer 16GB DDR3 memory Gigabyte Windforce GTX770 2GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD 2x 1TB HDD in RAID 0 I was building a new gaming computer, and was upgrading the above rig with a spare 4770k and more HDDs to use as a media server and thought of the PSU, so writing a review on it 5 yrs after this rig was built :)

Pros: Rock solid PSU. Efficient. Modular. Safe. 5 year warranty.

Cons: On the pricier side. It could be argued that the efficiency savings from the Gold rating are not justified - you may save only a dollar a year on electricity versus a bronze unit, depending on your electrical costs in your region. You're also paying a bit of a premium for branding, and honestly the modular cables aren't much of a plus if you're putting this unit in a case with a PSU shroud -- if you can't see the cables, who cares if you have a non-modular psu?

Overall Review: I'm giving this 5/5 eggs because I'm perfectly happy with it, it's being used in a case which benefits from modular design (in a Rosewill mATX case, very little room for cables and no shroud), and I know it's dependable.

Pros: worked great on first start up. didn't blow stuff up. packaging, product, look high quality, and it comes with extra cables.

Cons: the non modular cpu cable is slightly too short.

Pros: Quiet when it worked.

Cons: Died in less than a year. Eating the shipping cost to RMA it.

Overall Review: This is my 3rd Seasonic PSU. My other two have worked flawlessly for years and I didn't expect any less from this PSU. I bought this when it was on sale and had it sitting on a shelf for a couple months before putting this in a HTPC with an i5-4670k cpu. Worked fine for 4 months. One night the computer was off and simply would not turn on. Check all the cables, outlets, etc. Tried to jump start the PSU using a paper clip as instructed by Seasonic. Would not turn on. Eventually took out the PSU and put in a backup PSU. HTPC turned on so it was definitely the PSU that went bad. In the process of RMA with Seasonic. Asked for them to pay for shipping since the unit died so quickly. CSR ignored me. If this is what Seasonic considers "customer service" I'm not shelling out a premium to buy their PSUs anymore.

Pros: * Great build quality * Runs decently cool * Very quiet * Stable voltages * Plenty of cables for the needs of anyone with a 650W unit * Flexible cables * Modularity is great for high-end ITX builds; most PSUs with wattages as high as this (or higher) end up with more cables than you can manage to hide.

Cons: * I'd have preferred both PCIe cables to be modular. It's not aesthetically pleasing to use two different looking cables going to the same GPU.

Overall Review: Each 6+2 pin PCIe connector supports 150W. SeaSonic provides cables with 2x of these connectors. Regardless of which unit of theirs you get, they recommend that you not use just one these cables for a single GPU using more than 225W. I don't understand this, because what's the point of providing these double-ended cables if they can't provide the wattage they claim? Why not just have the cables with one 6+2 pin and another 6 pin to avoid this warning?
