SeaSonic Platinum-1000 PSU
When it comes to high performance computer power supply units, Seasonic is one of the most reputable manufacturers. The company serves as the OEM of many other well-known brands, such as Corsair and NZXT, but they also have their own retail branch. Today we will be performing our very first review of a retail Seasonic product and we are starting with the very best their engineering department has ever designed to this date; the Platinum 1000W unit.
As its name suggests, the Platinum series unit carries the best possible efficiency certification of the 80Plus program, promising an electrical efficiency of over 92% under nominal load and over 89% across the entire load range. Aside from the 80Plus Platinum certification, Seasonic placed a lot of effort on making this unit aesthetically appealing and the company also promises exceptional electrical performance. The many promotional offers are the icing on the cake, as one can now purchase the unit for $186.99 shipped. But how does this unit's performance compares to other similarly priced products? We will find out in this review.
