Seasonic Power Supply Units Roundup
 

I’ve got as many as six power supply units from Seasonic for this review and they hail from two different worlds. On one hand, there are the expensive top-class ATX units of the X-Gold series with wattage ratings from 560 to 760 watts. And on the other hand, there are compact products for mini-ITX or microATX system cases that are described by the FlexATX, TFX and SFX form-factors and have a wattage rating of no higher than 300 watts.

Unfortunately, compact PSUs are not very popular among enthusiasts. I think they do not really deserve such an attitude because you can build a rather advanced gaming configuration even in a tiny cubic case with a 300W power supply. Yet the fact is that such PSUs are mostly limited to office machines built in slim low-profile enclosures.

Therefore I will not discuss the products in alphabetic order as I usually do. Instead, I will first talk about the more exciting X-Gold series and their junior cousins will follow later on.
