It has been only a few days since we had a new Seasonic power supply in our labs for analysis. We have already looked at their 1200W and 1000W PRIME Platinum models in recent weeks, and today we analyse the 850W model. These power supplies are pure modular by design and feature low noise high grade Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) cooling fans.
At this point we have only good things to say about the new PRIME Platinum power supplies. If the 850 Watt supply holds true to form then Seasonic will have one of their most consistent releases in recent history. We don't expect anything dramatically different from this unit, but only after testing will we know.
Overclockers UK are already taking orders for the Seasonic PRIME 850W Platinum power supply – priced at £204.95 inc vat HERE. Yes, there is no arguing that these units are expensive, and this isn't even their highest specification 850 Watt model either. The PRIME Titanium 850 Watt costs £25 more, available at £229.99 inc vat HERE.
