The S12G 750W is finished to the high standards we expect from Seasonic. It is certainly plain, but it will suit a variety of system builds. All of the cables are hardwired into the chassis – which helps pass on a lower cost to the end user.
The unit passed our screwdriver stress test. This involves running a Philip's head screwdriver down the side of the chassis with weak to modest pressure. After all, how often have you accidentally hit a power supply with some tools during a system test phase?
A large 120mm fan can be seen behind a plain black cooling grill. There is no company branding in the middle of the fan which follows the new style we have seen with recent Seasonic power supplies reviewed this year.
One side of the S12G has a honeycomb style vent to aid with the cooling process. Next to this is a Seasonic sticker, a power switch and connector.
The S12G 750W can deliver 62Amps on the +12V output for 744W of the total power output.
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
