That is a beast, don't think i'll ever need that much power though!

Particularly liked:

i dont think i need that much power.

i think i will be interested in the 750-850 version.

Im sure i got told by someone on here that PSU powers would be coming down, not up, in response to a post i made about PSU prices coming down when capacities get larger.

Pipe, smoke, stick it in etc :D

Nice brick, if only i could afford the parts it would run !!

Very nice efficiency on that. My rig idles at 230w..barely at 19% of the PSU's capacity. Even at full load I'm pushing 350w which should give 92% efficiency which is very nice.

Looks real good on the inside too.

Nice. I wonder how it compares too the 1200W in terms of efficiency and performance as the lower wattage models are made by Seasonic AFAIK.

they are still rated gold though so they should be the same
