Seasonic Ss-600ht 600W PSU

It was awhile ago we looked at a Seasonic power supply, a few days ago we got their new PSU the SS-600HT power supply at a whopping 600W. We have decided to compare this to OCZ Powersteam and a Coolermaster supply to see how well it performs against these PSU´s that have performed very well in testing before.

So what's included with the PSU? Well we have a power cable, cable ties, manual and a small adapter. The power supply itself is equipped with a nice 120 mm fan which is supposed to be very quiet, this is something we will look at later in the review.

The backside of the power supply is designed with a honeycomb fan grill design to maximize the air flow out of the PSU. I have to admit that this fan is VERY quiet! I cannot hear this fan if I don't put my ear to it. This has to be the most quiet power supply I have tested.

18 amps on both 12V1 and 12V2 are very good specifications that will give you enough juice to boost the latest computers. This power supply is equipped with the latest power connectors for PCI-E, 24 pins etc etc.
