Seasonic S12 Energy+ 550W Power Supply

Sponsor: Seasonic

Price: 116.95

Author: Tazz

Published: Thu, Mar-22-2007

 Description:

    One of the key features consumers are looking at today when purchasing a power supply is the efficiency of the unit along with the output. The Seasonic S12 Energy + 550 power supply is the one we are looking at today. They also offer the S12 Energy + in a 650 Watt version as well. This "80 Plus" certified unit will be run through the rigorous tests done by our good friend Jonny.

     The Seasonic S12 Energy+ 550 Watt PSU comes packed in an attractive looking box that lists its main features and functions on its exterior. The rear of the package focuses on the special features of the unit.

They are also "80Plus" certified boasting over 80% efficiency. The S12 has a basic matte black finish to it with a chrome wire grill over the fan and we can also see that most of the cables are sleeved.
