As we guessed before we opened the power supply, this unit incorporates a Hong Hua HA13525H12F-Z fan rated 0.50A 12VDC. This fan has been used in a lot of Seasonic power supplies we have reviewed in the last 24 months – such as the Seasonic Focus GX-1000 V4 reviewed in September. We have seen this fan way back to even 2018 and it even featured in Antec units with Seasonic as the OEM (HCG Extreme Series 1000W). It is a firm favourite which seems to have no fear of being replaced anytime soon.
If you pay close attention you can see a small strip of clear plastic along one side. This is there intentionally to direct airflow to specific sections of the power supply below.
As mentioned earlier in the review, this is a Seasonic OEM part – and their power supplies have featured in many companies products such as (but not limited to ) Antec, Phanteks and ASUS. Montech are the latest companies to join the Seasonic group.
The primary stage sports two 105C rated Japanese capacitors from Nippon Chemi Con, rated 420V 560uF and 420V 330uF for a total of 890uF. These capacitors are high grade from the KMR family. This unit offers OPP, OVP, UVP, OCP, OTP and SCP protections. As mentioned earlier there is a 10 year warranty with this power supply. This is pretty good, although it is 2 less than the higher cost PRIME and VERTEX units in Seasonics range.
