Thx for nice review Hilbert. One think I would mention I dont realy like is lack of enough EPS/PCI-e cables.connectors. With Nvidia 4000 series its ok, but with AMD GPU it masively limitting ussage. In my case 2x EPS for powering CPU, 3x 8pin PCI-e to power up 7900xtx and missing at least one more to power 60W USB power delivery or anything else.

a truly proper psu that will last several builds. and a lot of current gen mobos have usb power delivery, certainly all of the ROG boards do as well as a lot of Gig and some MSI boards. hell even some current gen monitors have usb power delivery. certainly not a deal-breaker for a psu... i love that Seasonic supplies both the atx 3.0 cables as well as the traditional 6+2 pcie

Hilbert, why does this review state that it's unlikely that power usage will exceed 650w? I commented after a previous PSU review that my 10700K (in standard clocks) + a Suprim X 4090 is using 780w when playing Metro Exodus Enhanced at max quality settings. When I had an Asus Strix 3080 OC this game was using 680w. I had an Asus Thor Platinum I 850w and now the Thor II Platinum 1200w, both have accurate OLED power displays. If I used the overclock setting in BIOS for my 10700K I'm guessing the 780w would become 820w? This is a power usage way above 650w.

VERTEX GX 1000W is 1 349pln MSI MPG A1000G PCIe5.0 1000W is 939pln both at 200$ in Poland

They are all I use for power supplies. Waiting on their Titanium rated version then I'm upgrading. My 850w Seasonic Titanium rated PSU is right at 6 years old so it will be a good time to upgrade once they land.

See my comment about power usage with my 10700K (standard clocks) + Suprim X 4090. Please stop making comments about power usage that simply aren't in line with my own PC gaming experiences.

Seasonic make the Asus Thor PSU's for Asus. I find the OLED power displays on the Thor PSU's really interesting otherwise I would have bought the 1300w Seasonic Titanium PSU for my recent upgrades.

I think (but I'm not 100% sure) that I've already responded to you previously that I have a 4090 with 450W Power Limit (not 600W), and (in games), my 13900K veeeery rarely takes more than 200W. Do the math here, Mate 😉

'Mate', it's nothing to do with 'maths', you or others are making 'incorrect' statements on a tech website being read by (hopefully for guru3d) many other PC owners. The fact that your own gaming PC uses no more than 650w is completely irrelevant, this is not an article just about your own personal PC, is it? And 'mate', my 10700K + Asus Strix 3080 OC (not additionally overclocked beyond factory setting) previously used 680w when playing Metro Exodus Enhanced and I'm not using the optional overclock setting for my 10700K which would only increase my gaming PC's power consumption. And 'mate', surely my MSI Suprim X 4090 has a power limit of 520w, not 600w? That's what the various reviews on other tech websites & YouTube videos have stated. I have chosen not to overclock my Suprim X 4090 or use the optional 10700K overclock in BIOS, many other gamers overclock both their GPU's & CPU's. If I chose to do this................

Does anyone know the AWG gauge for the cables? Cant find any info on article or Seasonic product page.
