Cons: * None
Pros: * Quiet, don't think I've heard it yet or the fan has been so quiet I haven't noticed (my max load is probably 350-360W)* Great efficiency and ripple control per reviews* Awesome build quality/packaging* Long cables included Comment:
Bought it on sale for $119 a few months ago, it's probably overkill for my system (3770K, 16GB DDR3, GTX 670, SB X-Fi, DVDRW, 2x HDD, 1x SSD, 4x case fans, 2x CPU fans -- guessing 350W at load) but at that price it was a steal, tons of headroom for SLI.Fits nicely in my Corsair 550D case, the 8-pin EPS12V aux CPU power cable routes nicely behind the MB tray without an extension, all other cables are nice and long as well and sleeved in black.When this goes on sale, it simply cannot be beat. |

Cons: None
Pros: It is a Seasonic. Very quiet. 80 Plus Gold. Has plenty of cables and is fully modular Comment:
This is a great PSU especially when bought for the sale price. It is quiet and is fully modular and it is 80 Plus Gold. It has plenty of cables and they were easily long enough for my 500R case. Will be buying another one when on sale again. Definitely would recommend to others. |

Cons: None that I can think of. Love this unit.
Pros: Quiet and lots of power. Very well built. Comment:
I picked this up on sale and I couldn't be happier with this PSU. I shopped around and when it came down to it this was the best choice. Exceptional build quality, very quiet operation, and a treat to unbox and use for my latest build. |

Cons: cables are not as pretty as the corsair AX seriesprice
Pros: dead silent fan only spins up at >20% load 80+ goldjapanese caps Comment:
This psu is highly recommended if you care about the acoustics of your pc. Seasonic also has great reputation for making solid power supplies. The regular price is a bit steep for a 760w unit, but when on sale at 120$ its a steal. |

Cons: - Price is the only one. It's worth $200, no question but if you can get it on sale, definitely do it.
Pros: - Quiet- well built, feels sturdy and solid- Maintains steady voltage under load, or not Comment:
Build quality is solid. It's gold80 certifiedPicked this up for $120 on sale to replace an aging PSU. This thing is great - voltages are super stable, no matter what.This is a premium PSU, and it shows in the voltages as well as the craftsmanship. It's worth the $200 price tag but if you can get it for $120, do it.This PSU has been verified as 80 gold certified. This deals with efficiency in terms of power draw and waste.Seasonic has been making PSU's for ages now, and I'm glad they've come out with their own brand. There are a lot of high wattage PSUs out there, but for stability and ensuring a steady voltage / amperage, nothing beats this.I have recommended Seasonic PSUs to everyone, and consider this one to be among the best PSUs available. |

Cons: I hate to be so picky but, they put the product information sticker on the side that faces the window in my case. It looks kinda ugly and would have been better put on the other side. That's about all I can complain about really, and is only a minor cosmetic issue.
Pros: Fully modularSeasonic reliabilityVery quietGold ratedDelivers clean power Comment:
I got this on sale for $129, which made me buy the unit. Seasonic is arguably the best PSU manufacturer and to get a 760W Gold rated PSU for this price was outstanding. Even at full price, you are still getting top notch performance for your dollar.This is powering my 7970 GPU. When playing BF3, I don't even hear the PSU.Very happy with this purchase.

Cons: Might need a higher PSU for SLI with some set-ups. High pitched whine.
Pros: A good PSU that has some awesome reviews. Comment:
Seems like a good PSU so far. Although I wish I had gone with something higher now that I am planning on SLI. It also has a high pitched whine that could be very distracting to you. |

Cons: - Regular price, otherwise NONE.
Pros: - THE absolute best 80PLUS Gold power supply.- Most reliable brand on the market.- A real steal at 120$ (sale)!- So silent you'll never hear it.- Braided cables, comes with even too much cables and a luxuous box and bag with some cool special tightwraps. Comment:
I sold my Corsair AX750 which I paid like 180$ - 30$MiR so at least 150$ 12 months ago and it was the best price back then, so I sold it 130$ then I bought this Seasonic which is 1 generation ahead so it haves some minor improvements, 10w more and a better fan, all that cost me 0$ lol. |

Cons: Makes it impossible to consider any other brand.
Pros: Best PSU at this price by far. Fully modular cables that are easy to bend and route behind the motherboard. Comment:
I've used high end Silverstone and OCZ PSU's...This Seasonic is the best by far. Will always buy Seasonic from now on. |

Cons: Motherboard connector cable on the short side (great for cable management, not so great for large cases)
Pros: 100% modular, support for multiple top-tier video cards, tons of SATA / IDE connectors (in multiple lengths - some longer for long routing), efficient and SILENT! Price ($119 - when on sale) Comment:
I recently built a server for a clieint and used a Seasonic power supply, and was blown away by the quality. Everything about it screams 'nothing but the best'. I swore the next build I'd do for myself I'd buy nothing but. The nice touches of quality packaging, the inclusion of a modular cable management bag to keep extra's organized, velcro ties a fancy case badge (if you're into that stuff...) will keep me coming back to Seasonic for power needs.Highly recommended. Would buy it (or any other Seasonic) again in a heartbeat. |

Cons: -Some audible coil whine during idle-Poor documentation-CPU and Mobo cables are rather short-PCI-E/GPU cables are too long
Pros: -Efficient-Fully modular-Quiet (but there is some coil whine depending on your system config/load)-Excellent built quality-Clean, professional look-SLI/CrossFire without using the peripheral connectors-Excellent performance (according to professional reviews anyway)-Awesome value (when it's on sale) Comment:
Got this unit to replace my aging Corsair HW620 which btw is an excellent PSU. The Corsair began having terrible coil whine that forced me to turn off the Intel CPU power saving features in the bios.Sadly, the Seasonic also exhibits some coil whine albeit more quiet than the Corsair. I believe it has to do with the combination of my system config/load and the quality of my outlet power source that's causing the whine. I know turning off the CPU power saving features will eliminate the whine but I prefer not to waste energy when I'm idling.Overall, this is an excellent quality PSU that should handle most high end systems.

Cons: None that I can think of
Pros: Fully Modular80+ Gold ratingVery cool running (No fan at all under normal workload) Comment:
Got this on sale for 135, that also included free shipping for the entire order. So far very impressed with tis PSU. I've also been partial to Antec PSU, but this is far superior that anything they have. The looks of the usit and the packaging are great. it has a strong 12 volt rail. Best of all fully modular, so no unneeded cables messing up the case. |

Cons: Terrible Coil Whine at idle (even when computer is off) and while under gaming load. It's not like the audible but not annoying whoosh of case fans. It's high or low pitched to the point that it's really annoying. Cables are not fully sleeved; ~2 inches from each connector remain nude.Inability to use all 4 PCI-E connectors (for 2 gpus) as well as 8pin Cpu connector. In this case the 4pin cpu connector must be used.
Pros: Modular. Nice looking design. Fan only powers on when really needed. 80+ Gold rating. Stable. Seasonic Quality; I was told it's the best brand. Comment:
I also own an X560 and that one is not as bad as this in the Coil Whine department. I tested in an open test bed as well and put my ear to it. Noise was confirmed by NCIX tech support guy.I will be buying an AX750 instead. Other than the coil whine it's an awesome power supply.I7 2600kAsus Gene Z68 matx8gb gskill ram6870pc v354 |

Cons: Price, but you get what you pay for.
Pros: Silent on low workloads, Rock-solid and highly efficient. Comment:
One of the absolutely best PSUs available. It is absolutely silent on loads less than 20%, the fan doesn't even spin. I can't hear my PC over the background now. Fully modular so extra cables are not in the wayThe packaging really shows the product level. Yes, it is pricey, but worth it. |

Cons: Some might find it pricey but you get what you pay for.
Pros: - High Quality- Fully Modular- 80+ Gold effeciency- Quite- Strong 12V rail- Premium packaging Comment:
One of the best PSUs on the market from THE best brand. Replaced a 3 year old 650W Coolermaster PSU that was heaving difficulty running a Q6600 d3GHz, 3Gb DDR2, 1 HDD and 1 GTX570 at stock. I can finally unleash my MSI Twin Frozr III GTX570. Already have it running at 900MHz clock and it's still not maxed out. |
I've purchased 9 or 10 power supplies, including a few other modulars, since I began building my own PC's over a decade ago and this is by far the best one I've ever used. It's actually my second Seasonic X series, having purchased an X-650 two years ago and why I bought another. It looks good, performs the best I've ever seen a power supply perform with voltages dead on whether at idle or load, and it makes no noise at all. I put this one into a Lian Li PC-8FIB (the other is now in an old Cooler Master 830 Stacker) and have had no trouble with cable lengths at all. They tend to be expensive but if you can get it on sale or price matched, like I did, it's much more reasonable and worth every penny.
