Nice review guys. However I always end up thinking that it would make for a much better test&review to go for the middle to low-wattage option of such series. To me it seems those in need of multiple 8-pins EPS and “dozens” of PCIe 8/6pins all to often would go for a modular power supply. Just my 2 cents but maybe something to convey over to the manufacturers supplying the goods?
the only thing working against it is the fact it is not modular – good review, thanks.
£99.99 for a 80 Plus Gold with those specs is impressive, always like seeing nippon chemi con – never had one of those capacitors fail on me in 20 years 🙂
@Kitguru: How would you guys compare this to the Seasonic 80 Platinum series (SS-760XP2, or SS-660XP2)?
just got this and i think ill be very happy with it
