Seasonic 80Plus Platinum PSU

[phantomferrari]

wow!, so nicely laid out and with absolutely no restriction to airflow when its needed. well, it looks like i found my next psu

[Madidas]

it makes me wonder when the PSUs will hit the +100% efficiency

but tbh, one more year and we will get golds for mainstream

When someone figures out the secrets of making working superconductor in room remperature.

[sholvaco]

Just what I've been waiting for: They seem to have implemented a selectable fan operation mode that allows the fan to spin all the time instead of shutting off at lower loads. Great for peeps with negative air pressure scenario inside their case who had problems with dust intake.

Hmmm, whats the difference with Seasonic SS-1000XP?

[NKrader]

haha too late. i decided to get the 850 gold rated yesterday. didnt feel like waiting. /lame

I did the same thing when I heard about the release of the ECS H67H2-I v1.1 and the bastards never stocked it, finally snagged one from Superbiiz. Might want to check both on a regular basis.

Did I read that right? The PSU is above 90% efficiency the entire time?!?!?!?

That's not 80-PLUS Platinum... That's 90-PLUS!!!

I'm In the market for a new PSU...
My Coolermaster GX650 is making a strange Ticking noise, has me pretty scared.. really don't want to fry my system.

I don't know that this will ever happen, at least not based on any current tech as this would mean electronics that have no resistance and generate no heat at all. This as mentioned previously would require room temperature superconductors across every component.

The other inherent design flaw in something which is truly 100% efficient is that ANYTHING that goes in must come out, by design power filtration is a source of energy loss, but personally, I'd much rather have stable electricity with some loss than have my computer getting hit with power spikes. This requires the use of things like resistors and capacitors which at least to the best of my knowledge cannot be 100% efficient.

SeaSonic Platinum-1000 1000W PSU is $240 @newegg

That price is certainly below that which I had anticipated. It's quite a pleasant surprise.

It does indeed sound good. I think I may grab the 12x0 watt version once it becomes available.
When is jonnyguru's review coming?

[WaterFlex]

finally, thanks!

[phantomferrari]

for a 1000w platinum psu that is an amazing price! i thought the 860w would cost that much. i find it a little disappointing that they still havent improved their cable sleeving. they should take a page from corsairs psu's when it comes to sleeving. (at least for the ax gold models)

so it may just be around a month behind
like you i was going to get the 860 for my gtx480 sli rig but my current psu is dying so i think il just go with whichever i can get first
besides maybe i will make use of the 6 pci-e leads on my next rig since three hd7000 may be a nice upgrade
