OC3D Review: Seasonic M12 600w Modular PSU

[JN]

"Seasonic are known for their range of silent and stable power supplies. The M12 is one of their latest models, and their first entry into the modular scene. How does it perform? We find out..."

I look forward to the Corsair 620 review if you get to test one, as far as I know it's very similar but is quieter with only 1 120mm fan.

Funnily enough, I have one on its way

I look forward to that with massive interest, I'm thinking of getting one because of it's supposed high efficientcy and quietness, may I ask if you sell them after review?

Nah, we either keep them for future comparisons or send them back.

Nice review

You need to upgrade the PSU tester, 10a per 12v is nothin!

It can do up to 80a total on +12v at 5a increases.

If you look at the specs on the M12, the maximum combined amperage it can cope with on the +12v rail is 48a - so i got as close to that as possible (40a). Plus its handy to compare results with other 600w PSU's - most of which have been subjected to the same stress.

Wow, 80a? Impressive.

Thanks for explanation though XMS

Great review, and this looks to be a half way decent PSU. I think I could pick something better to put in my case if I had the choice however.

XMS, you gotta line up a single rail 1kw turbo-cool review!

I am not a fan of the modular style PS.

But that was a very good review.
