Seasonic G Series 650 SSR-650RM 650W 80+ Gold ATX12V & EPS12V Semi-Modular SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 105 °C Japanese Capacitor

SO far I've been greatly impressed with this PSU and its eliminated my blue screening issues I was experiencing with my other PSU. But to be fair it wasn't all the PSU's fault I also had bad memory which was really at the heart of the problem. Once I replaced the PSU with this one I noticed a 90% drop in the blue screening, after I replaced the RAM my blue screening has stopped all together. I really love how quiet and efficient this PSU is all for a good price with a good warranty. I've got it powering this system:My rig:Seasonic 650 watt Gold PSUGigabyte 970A rev3.0 FX motherboardAMD FX6300 black editionZalman 92mm CPU fan120GB Samsung 840 series SSD1 TB WD redundant drive @7200RPM16GB crucial ballistix tactical 1600MHzAsus 7850 2GB 256bit GDDR5 graphics cardAll this rolled into a nice, well ventilated, Thermaltake tower and powering a very underrated 24inch Dell monitor.Without any issues for a couple months now.The only thing I haven't really liked about this PSU has been the questionable warranty (as compared to corsair's 7 year warranty) this one has a 5 year warranty which I was rather shocked at considering it's the same PSU seasonic sells to corsair who then rebrands it and resells it for more. In contrast though from the in-depth reviews I read, the Seasonic one here, has better efficiency, noise control, and better voltage regulation in all aspects. Furthermore a seasonic gold rating actually means gold level efficiencies unlike other companies. Also the power cord it came with was quite impressive (all be it a bit too short for my liking) by being nice and thick which reminded me of the quality cords you see going into high end servers.So far I've been enjoying this PSU and hope to have years upon years of joyful use out of it.

I did a lot of research and reading about reliable power supplies when deciding which one to buy for my new custom-built desktop PC. Seasonic power supplies were always at the top of the list of reliability and good quality. I bought this power supply because it is built for the new Intel Haswell processors and it has an 80 PLUS GOLD rating. My new desktop has been running for a month now and there have been no problems at all from this power supply. It is never loud when on, even when running games at high graphics (the video card fans are much louder and audible than this fan). No major issues as of yet, hopefully it will keep my computer running for many years to come.The only thing I had trouble with was the location of the SATA plugs on the back of the unit. In my case, the power supply is at the bottom, with the fan facing down. This allows the fan to draw cool air from the bottom vent opening and the fan pushes the hot air out the back of the case. The SATA plugs in this configuration are set low, closer to the bottom of the case. Since my case allows for an additional fan to be placed on the bottom of the case, the location of the SATA cables prevented me from using a 140mm fan. I had to settle for a 120mm fan instead. This may not be a problem for your particular case, but just be aware that when the power supply is facing down (fan facing down), the SATA plugs are closer to the bottom. Other power supplies have their SATA plugs closer to the center or near the top of the back panel (further away from the bottom of the case).

This is my first SeaSonic product and at first I was a little skeptical. When it arrived and I opened it, the manufacturer added a ton of packing around the PSU to stop any shipping damage which was a good first impression. The connections are solid, and the built-in adjustable zip tie on the core wires is a good thought. Although the GTX card adapter can be a little difficult to get into the card when you're using all 4 pairs of wires, it's not anything major.My previous purchases for a modular PSU just came with a lot of cables each in separate packages, but this is much easier. One large package and a small bag to put in the extras for anything you've got left over.The PSU preforms well and I have zero issues with it.I'm officially a SeaSonic fan.

This was seemingly a good price point for a 650W gold power supply, but then I bought some of them and realized why they're so cheap. First, the thing that really annoys me the most is that this P/S has two extra connectors for PCI-e graphics cards but only comes with ONE cable. Also, there is not enough distance between the daisy-chained power connectors to power two adjacent single-connector cards and still have room for airflow. The cards have to put right up next to each other which starves one of them for airflow.Seasonic used to be a really good brand. I bought several of their 650W gold power supplies years ago and they had really good quality cabling, star-topology PCI-e cables instead of daisy-chaining (which doubles the current and voltage drop in the trunk line), and a FULL set of cables.
