Seasonic M12 Modular 600W Power Supply Review
Seasonic M12 Modular 600W Power Supply Review
Gone are the cheapo power supplies of yesteryear. Processors today from both Intel and AMD require a power supply that can deliver a steady diet of power. The Seasonic name has become the standard of barrier in power supply from a distant land, China. We are looking into one of the new M12 Modular series today rated at 600 watts from Seasonic.

  Introduction :

Madshrimps (c)


In the few short years after Seasonic entered into retail market, it has earned the trust from most PC enthusiasts all over, particularly in the "quiet" zone of PC computing. For those who know the insight of PC power supply are fully aware of the OEM market segment that Seasonic is servicing; making this introduction rather simple for me. The success of the S-12 brings us the M-12 today with Modular cable arrangement along with more power.

While the S-12 provides better than 80% efficiency; the M-12 is said to be 85% or better. A simple math, when a power supply is 80% efficient.

Your PC requires 100 watts is drawing "100/80%"= 125 watts, or
125 Watts x 80% = 100


Accordingly, Seasonic M-12 is the first Modular power supply certified by 80Plus.

The M-12 measures 150mm*160mm*86mm against "regular" size of 150mm*140mm*86mm. The extra 20mm in length is added to accommodate the modular setup.
