Seasonic Connect 750 W PSU review

Posted by: Krzysztof Hukalowicz on: 06/12/2020 01:56 PM [ 22 comment(s) ]

Remember that Seasonic Connect power supply? We have it on our test bench for a review today. It was finally introduced to the market on the 4th of March, after a long wait (they first presented it two years ago, at Computex 2018). It’s a brand new approach to the desktop PSU idea. Why’s that? Because this time you don’t receive everything integrated into a single unit, but two “modules” instead. One is a Seasonic PRIME 750 W 80 PLUS Gold certified power supply, and the other is the CONNECT device, which is essentially a backplane that is mounted to the PC case with magnets to provide connections for all the components. You need only two cables to link these segments together.

no point in this, as the ATX spec is being processed as something different

Lost me at "flat black cables".... For the price, they should have included sleeved cables.... ribbon style cables just look tacky....

So, where are all tree hugging liberals protesting waste of resources and workforce to manufacture anything below golden energy standard? Cool idea with cable thou, especially for custom building. Any 900W models? Anyone knows PSU fit for NAS use, with stable sata power fort like 20HDDs?

I like the idea but I feel it releases in the wrong era when 3/4 of the cases have side windows, rgb is everywhere etc..

1) who without rgb, water cooling etc.. would be interested by an exotic psu ? not many
2) people who build RGB pcs already have way too many cables, controllers and stuff to hide behind the case there's no space left, that entire market is out except for people with giant towers, we have more than enough spaghetti nightmare not to add another thing, I have double the cables seen this picture https://i.redd.it/bk8vpa6iqyt01.jpg at one point I had 80 different cables to connect, same PC non-rgb build time : 30min full rgb build time : 3 days ><
3) most cables are too long already this gives us even more slack ?
4) cheap flat cables (like everyone else to be honest even my HX1200i came with them)
