Seasonic 1050 Snow Silent Platinum power supply review - Introduction

Seasonic SnowSilent 1050W 80 PLUS Platinum Certified PSU

Today we peek at the Seasonic 1050 Snow Silent Edition Platinum power supply series. It's 1050W, Platinum certified, really silent, modular and can be spotted for just 235 EUR. Hell they even throw in a 7 year warranty. That just oozes value, features and lifespan for your enthusiast grade all black and white PC build. The trend lately is making the most energy efficient models. Platinum is what you want, however it's often expensive if you stick to the top brands like Enermax, Corsair, and so on.

Today we're testing probably what is amongst the better power supplies we have had in our hands, and it comes from a bit of an underdog, Seasonic. You probably all have heard of them but they are not really that known. See Seasonic is primarily an ODM, (Original Device Manufacturer) which means the pure product ends up in a lot of PSUs from NZXT, Cooler Master, Corsair and so on.

Seasonic just released a new model, all white with black cabling. it is a 1050W  Platinum certified model that is very silent, modular and can be spotted for just 235 EUR. Seasonic will even throw in a 7 year carry-in warranty. That all makes a lot of sense as a secure investment.

Next to we notice that the cables, sleeves and connectors have had an upgrade to receive an all black ribbon design. Forms, shapes and sizes, power supplies come in a wide variety these days. The trend lately is making the most energy efficient models though. Bronze, Silver, Gold but Platinum or Titanium is what you want really, however the upper stack in hardware remains expensive. T

So today we peek at the Seasonic 1000W Platinum series. A PSU loaded with features and top notch efficiency, it certainly surprised us in a very good way. Have a peek at the product and then let's head onwards into the review.
