Title: Question about PSU
Post by: N1CKH0LAS on May 16, 2013, 08:33:25 AM
Hey,
Are SeaSonic PSUs any good ? I'm planning to buy a SeaSonic X-SERIES X-1050 for a rig with 3x Gigabyte HD7950s. If there's anyone who uses/used them, please let me know how reliable are they. I would have bought HX1050 or OCZ ZX, but they aren't available locally and I'm not willing to wait x days for shipment. However, SeaSonic X-SERIES X-1050 is available and considering it is single rail and gold certiffied, I supposed it's a good one for BTC/LTC mining with 3 GPUs.

What do you say ?

Seasonic is top brand. Pretty expensive too. Builders who care about the PSU use seasonic.

My Seasonic 1200W is honestly one of the best components I've ever bought.

I think it is extremely well made. 5 stars, totally recommended.

I bought for it for $220 I think. I would not be surprised if I use this thing for like 15 years.

It even came in this swanky purple cloth bag which is perfect for holding Cassius coins.

do the seasonics > 850w ever go on special?  the 750w and 850w usually come up on newegg for $75-$100 every month or two

i've got an 850w thermaltake 'toughpower' bronze certified PSU i've been using for like 6 1/2 years =p
