" ... Great power supply, love the matte black and modular cable design. ... "
" ... the cables are flat and made cable management easier. ... "
" ... Good so far, comes with 2 sata power cables, each with 2 connectors. ... "
" ... A great feature to have since If there are any problems with your cables, say you accidentally cut one you can easily replace it or you can install your own cables for a nice look to your computer. ... This means you will have more room for routing your cables and keeping them tidy. ... Cables - The cables that come with the power supply are adequate they are well made and sturdy. ... Although this can easily be fixed by purchasing cable extensions or full length custom cables. ... "
" ... This has everything you could want from a power supply: high wattage for expandability, high efficiency for a low power bill, and modular cables for a nice tidy computer. ... "
" ... I love that it is fully modular and I can only attach the cables I need for my install. ... "
" ... Cable management was amazing and I love the clean look of the PSU. ... I think the braided cable sleeves are really nice and I feel Seasonic did a good job overall. ... Nice touch with the little knick knacks for cable management. ... "

" ... It was very easy to install in place of the old one and has worked great so far! ... "
" ... Fully Modular and easy to install. ... "
" ... As a somewhat hobbyist builder, this Power Supply has proven to be one of my best experiences in installation and use after about 7 years of building. ... "
" ... Truly a product worth getting, it's easy to install, and it's pretty quiet for a fan so big. ... "

" ... Had zero issues with my second build. ... "
" ... I quickly purchased a Seasonic to replace it, and it has lasted 4.5 years, and in fact is still going strong. ... "
" ... everything is so nicely packaged and feels super nice to unbox. ... "
" ... This looks to be a very quality unit, looks and feels high quality. ... "
" ... PSU seems like a good one, looks like a solid build! ... "
" ... That alone made me love it, can't wait to install this into my first build! ... PSU looks like it was packaged well and my worry of any damages on its journey to my place was at an all time low. ... "
" ... Being that these were my requirements, $200 is really not that bad a price for a top-notch PSU. ... "

" ... If you're going for a budget build with a GPU like the GTX 1060, then this is more than enough for it, the 550 watts would really be all you need. ... I recently used this for my first PC build and so far so good, I will give updates after a while on its performance. ... "
" ... Well built, and the PSU runs very quietly in my rig. ... "
" ... it works great for me with my R7 2700x and GTX 2060 ... "
" ... I was able to get eke out a bit more overclock due to better power regulation on my old i7 2600k in an Asus P8Z77 LE+ mobo. ... "
" ... If you're looking for top tier performance, quality, and reliability, you really can't go wrong with Seasonic. ... "
" ... Typically, people think about almost everything else in a PC first like a graphics card, CPU etc., then the power supply last. ... "
" ... Luckily, if the computer isn't under load, it's quite quiet. ... "
" ... I've been relying on them for over a decade and they haven't let me down on a dozen or so PSU's. ... "

" ... This is the first time, however, that Ive been able to get a modular power supply into my budget. ... "
" ... I have been using Seasonic power supplies for more than 15 years. ... In my experience they have always been the most reliable and well built power supplies. ... The 100% modular design of this power supply is wonderful. ... Bottom line = You can't go wrong with a Seasonic power suppy. ... "
" ... Seasonic power supplies have never let me down. ... "
" ... The power supply works great! ... "
" ... order if you want a good power supply ... "
" ... After much research on the best power supply to go with I decided on the Seasonic. ... Just the name and what they are known for when it comes to Power Supplies, Seasonic is one of the best on the market. ... "
" ... So far it has given me no issues, unit functions as expected and is quieter than the alternative 1u power supply I purchased at the same time. ... "
" ... Though in fact power supplies are arguably the most important part to any build. ... Think about it this way, they convert high AC power from your typical home to DC power that every electronic in your systems can use. ... Seasonic power supplies are one of the most reliable in the power supply business. ... Using all the standards from 80 Plus (80%) up to Titanium (90%) we can get the cost in electricity over time. ... So, the more efficient the power supply is running the less power is lost in terms of heat. ... Also, that is expecting the power supply will last that long to achieve the savings. ... Even after 3 years the trend is clear the more efficient power supplies will save money. ... Additionally, buying a cheaper power supply with lower efficient rating will most likely fail sooner and you’ll have to buy another one anyways. ... Invest a bit and buy a higher efficient power supply. ... It will be a high cost initially, but after about 2-3 years your guaranteed to be saving money overall in electricity. ... Also, you’ll be helping the environment with less electricity used! ... Hope this review helps someone understand power efficiency a little better! ... "

" ... I was migrating from a full size ATX to a Mini ITX case for my desktop and needed a new PSU and this one had some good reviews and had everything I was looking for, like an 80+ Gold rating. ... "
" ... Its nice to see that the pins have redundancy and that the psu can handle power more efficiently. ... "
" ... The PSU is SFX-L format, which mean it has a much smaller footprint compared to regular sized PSUs, and fits perfectly in my Streacom DA2 case. ... "
" ... This size of this PSU allowed me to have a bit more space and airflow in my case which is always good. ... "

" ... Including 2 SATA cables is a very nice addition for an SFX PSU. ... "
" ... Had a Seasonic 80+ Gold and everything just plugged right in, no need to switch cables. ... "
" ... So far this power supply has worked great, however I was a little confused on exactly how a couple cables connected when I was putting my build together and the instruction manual is a single page. ... "
" ... Plugged everything in and fired right up. ... "
" ... But the PCI-E cables it came with were only double headed, so when i plugged it into my GPU i had an extra end hanging loose. ... "
" ... Setup was straight forward and all the necessary cabling and surplus connection ports to make the job easy are there as well. ... "
" ... The modular connectors fit well and provide plenty of SATA connections. ... "

" ... The semi-modular feature is also very handy! ... "
" ... I would give it a 5 but I think and stability over time and overall longevity are two of the most important features for a PSU and I have only had it running for a couple of days. ... "
