Quote from tp4tissue : It really depends on how many unnecessary fans people decide to put into their build.

You'd need a case with a lot of fan slots to make much difference. Most of the 12cm fans I see now are between 0.12A and 0.4A draw, so like 1.5W to 5W per.
I'm not saying you can't find some x38mm Deltas using 20W+, but for the most part they're generally under 5W.

Iackluster... considering just last week for $25 you could snatch a SeaSonic 520W - rebranded Antec Eco 520c

the question to ask yourself, is going modular and the extra 30w with Gold rating worth the extra $35

If you have the #1 single GPU setups, this'll be more than enough. Steal.

out of stock

Quote from tonyftw : Yes, more than enough.

Thanks for posting, good PSU and price...confirming it is in stock again (at least for now)...

One note about this from a review I read earlier today... it sounds like the fan is always on, unlike the X series where it remains off up to a certain load.

It sounded as though it's very quiet so I don't think noise is a factor, but it's worth mentioning.

Glad it came back. in 4 1 since it's the best deal ATM. I'd go for the rebadged 520W mentioned earlier if I would but I need a new PSU today. 3rd time replacing one in my Dell 530. Dell (350W w/ HD2600), Antec 500W w HD2600) and lastly CoolMax 500W w/ HD5770 all had their shots in the last 5 years. in the last 2 cases, it was the fan that died and allowed the power supply to overheat.Once they overheat, I'd just as soon get a new one than replace the fan. Not too sure about modular. The Antec was modular and it didn't last but 14 months. Anyways, hoping to get the promised like out of this one.

Quote from BartenderCK : I used a Kill O Watt meter this week to test my rig. I pull 252 watts when I run Prime and FurMark. I am selling my SeaSonic X750 and switched to a Antec High Current Gamer 400w. However I was eyeing up this SeaSonic 550 today. Modular and Gold Rating. My system: i7-2600K OC'ed to 4.0GHz EVGA GeForce GTX 650 2x8GB 1866 DDR3 Ceton DVR 128GB SSD for OS 120GB SSD for Recorded TV and Commerical Skipping WD Black 2TB HDD WD Green 2TB HDD WD Green 1TB HDD SATA BluRay Drive 6 Case Fans (Antec Two Hundred Case)

How do you only pull ~250w with that setup at full load? That seems incredibly low. Most similar setups I have seen pull around 320w. That's impressive if accurate. I pull about 550w under load in the same scenario on the system in my sig.

that GTX 650 is about 50 watts max

Quote from werdwerdus : that GTX 650 is about 50 watts max

Now that I think about it, that's true. I am basing that on a 550ti. It is impressive how much more efficient it is than that.

Can anyone comment on G Series vs M12 II vs the PC Power and Cooling rebadges (which as I understand it are built by Seasonic)?


My current build.. ASUS Maximus Gene V Micro-ATX, overclocked i7-3770k (with Noctua NH-L12), 32GB of RAM in a Lian-LI PC-V355B was a little tight... mostly because I'm not using a modular PSU.


I generally shoot for total silence / power efficiency in my builds, and have been using Seasonic for years (so had simply carried over an older non-modular Seasonic PSU to this machine). I don't play games and use on-board video, so the wattage here is totally fine.

I'm an amateur photographer and a software developer (who ends up running a bunch of VMs), in case you were wondering why I need the CPU / RAM ;0

Anyway... I'm a little out of touch with the current Seasonic line if anyone has a good link to the differences.

There is a slientpcreview on the G360 here that I'm taking a look at -- http://www.silentpcreview.com/Seasonic_G360
