Seasonic S12 600W Power Supply Review
PC Stats has reviewed Seasonic S12 600W Power Supply. Seasonic's flagship power supply is its S12 600 and computer enthusiasts have put this bad boy in the same category as PC Power & Cooling, Fortron Group and Silverstone units, that's some pretty select company! The Seasonic S12 600 is SLI certified, that itself is already like a badge of honor and it is fully ATX 2.0 compatible. The Seasonic S12 600 retails for $171 CDN ($155 US, £83 GBP) but that's a pretty aggressive price for a top of the line PSU.
The Seasonic S12 600 is standard ATX size at 139 x 150 x 85mm which is good news if you're using a tight case. Many of the enthusiast class power supplies that are 500W+ are physically larger than the Seasonic S12 600 which can cause space restriction problems. Please note that the Seasonic S12 600 only has one exhaust fan so it's vital that it is not blocked.
The Seasonic S12 600 powersupply uses Active Power Factor Correction (A-PFC). A-PFC circuitry eliminates the need for an external voltage level switch (115/230) on the powersupply since it works with a wider voltage range (115VAC of North America to 230VAC of Europe) by default than PFC-based powersupplies.
