^Modular cables do hurt.
The connector is like a small resistor. It just makes no sense, and no gain, to have everything modular - especially for the high current leads such as EPS12V and PCIe plugs. Antec got it about right on Signature line which have fixed ATX24, EPS12V (4+8pin) and 2× PCIe 8pin. Rest (4pin molex, SATA) are modular.
You were not supposed to see this.
When is this PSU coming out??? I have been waiting for months! Anyone have info?
The first review out is out. In the review it is mentioned that this power supply should be on the egg very soon.

Have you ever Individually sleeved a 24pin atx connector? If you have then Im sure you could see the benefit in being able to bring that cable along for the ride when you upgrade to your next powersupply. I rock a 600watt silverstone and now that I have tasted f100% modular I dont want to go back to anything else.Originally Posted by largon

I dunno about you guys, but I think seasonic psu's rule, and would rather own a psu that is actually made by the retailer. 99% of the psu's are made by some other company who just rebadges them.
I currently have a corsair tx750w, and think it's a piece of junk compared to my old seasonic M12 600watt psu. It's fan is a lot louder, and when idling, it makes annoying tick from the fan. My first tx750w died within the first 5 minutes of booting up my pc.. just in the bios. Their quality control sucks.
Seasonic psu are 100% quality! But they are kinda pricey now a days.

That can go both ways, really. While it can be said that certain platforms are better than others, it's ultimately the company slapping their brand on it that has the final say on what gets sold, and they have to decide how important they consider their image and reputation.
Point in case - Corsair just took the blame for a problem on a CWT problem. But in other instances, Corsair's versions of certain platforms show themselves superior to other companies attempts.

I just wonder when the PCP&C version of this will come out to replace the current, but admittedly aging, Silencer 750 platform. Since PCP&C is using the Seasonic M12D platform in their Silencer 910, just seems logical that PCP&C would get this platform out as quickly as possible to refresh that segment of their lineup.
Of course, given how this unit is constructed, this may be the unit that gets PCP&C to move off the 80mm fan, otherwise, I just don't see how the platform can be easily and readily adapted to an 80mm fan for cooling.

This PSU looks/sounds amazing - will seriously think about getting one when they are out in the UK...
Currently using an Enermax Noisetaker 600W, but it seems to have gotten progressively louder over the years, and the fact that it is not modular makes cable routing a nightmare!

there are just the 2 of them worth considering:Seasonic and Enermax.
rest of the story is as Diverge pointed out.

"Generally speaking, CMOS power consumption is the result of charging and discharging gate capacitors. The charge required to fully charge the gate grows with the voltage; charge times frequency is current. Voltage times current is power. So, as you raise the voltage, the current consumption grows linearly, and the power consumption quadratically, at a fixed frequency. Once you reach the frequency limit of the chip without raising the voltage, further frequency increases are normally proportional to voltage. In other words, once you have to start raising the voltage, power consumption tends to rise with the cube of frequency."

Damn, that's pricey... might have to settle for the 650W.

100 more watts is well worth the 20 extra bucks.
In US$ yeah, but both the prices and the delta will be more in GB£....

$200 is too much imo.
The Seasonic M12D 850W can be had for around $150 these days. Is 2-3% more efficiency worth a 25% higher price?
is that really all the difference between them?
i am soooo out of the PSU loop, i'm still coming to terms with single rail 12v. Last time i bought one, multi-rail was all the rage. Never made sense though...
are these 2 seasonic psu's considered the best? and could they power 2x 5870s?
i know it's kinda off topic, sorry
i7 920 D0 @ 2.8ghz // GTX 670 // Rampage II Extreme // 14GBs DDR3 // 550w PSU // corsair H100i // Corsair 800DMay 30th, 2007
i7 3770k stock // Maximus V Gene // 16GB @1600 // OCZ z850 //
i7 3930k @ 4.5ghz // 780 SLI // P9X79-E WS // 16GB @ 1600 // AX1200i // and a horrible swiftech h220 // Carbide Air 540
The seasonic psu's just released are the best for their wattage from a technical standpoint. Corsair's 750 is more reputable because of how long its been out and the warranty service, but it too is made by seasonic.
Either PSU should power 2 5870's admirably.
The old 750 TX from Corsair is not made by seasonic but CWT. Same goes for their newer 750 from the HX series...
Ah, I stand corrected. I was mistaken. Thanks.The old 750 TX from Corsair is not made by seasonic but CWT. Same goes for their newer 750 from the HX series...
you stand once again corrected :
the Enermax Revolution line shares---> "... the best for their wattage from a technical standpoint"...with the seasonic line of psus

That's what I get for speaking in absolutes! And I thought I was keeping up with power supplies T_T.
