INTRODUCTION:-
Seasonic has over the last few years established itself as one of the most innovative power supply manufacturers in the market and moved steadily from success to success in the retail computer market with its Platinum, Gold and Bronze series power supplies.
The drive to improve efficiency for power supplies is a ongoing goal, and with that in mind, SeaSonic has the latest product in their lineup which brings 80PLUS Platinum Certification along with an innovative hybrid fan mode. We know that sheet specs certainly don’t tell the real story though, so let’s take a closer look at this P-Series 1000W unit to check out its Performance.
FEATURES:-
Full Modular Design (DC to DC)
The Platinum Series features a high-tech LLC/full-bridge circuit topology with a unique integrated DC Connector Panel with an embedded Voltage Regulator Module. This design contributes to a near-perfect DC-to-DC conversion that optimizes efficiency by reducing current loss and impedance.
Seasonic Hybrid Silent Fan Control
An industry first, advanced 3 phased (Fanless, Silent and Cooling Mode) thermal control balances between silence and cooling. In addition, a selector switch is provided to allow you to select between the Seasonic S2FC control, without fanless mode or the S3FC fan control, with fanless mode.

ACCESSORIES AND CABLES:-
TEST SETUP:-
• AMD BULLDOZER FX 8120 @4.0Ghz
• ASROCK 990FX EXTREME 4
• KINGSTON 8GB 1600 CL10
• CORSAIR FORCE 3 60GB SSD
• ZOTAC GTX 660TI AMP EDITION
• SVGTECH AOC 120 DT
• SEASONIC PLATINUM 1000W
VOLTAGE REGULATION AND CIRCUIT PROTECTIONS:-
When examining the voltage regulation results we are looking for the voltage output and any fluctuations that might occur. The current ATX specifications allow for the following fluctuations in voltage outputs.
3.3v Voltage regulation:-
5v Voltage regulation :-
12v Voltage regulation:-
When we look at the voltage regulation, this is where the SeaSonic performs very well, posting strong results across the testing spectrum.
Circuit Protections:-
Overvoltage / undervoltage protection
Load Operation
Short circuit / over-current protection
Overload protection
Overheating protection
Overvoltage / undervoltage protection
SOME REAL TIME TESTING:-
To test the power supply in both IDLE and Full Load, we will use OCCT 4.3.2 power supply test along with the Energy power Meter to check power consumption.
First we test the idle function of the test system and then at load. In comparison we are adding our old 1000w psu Which is rated at just 80 plus certification.
At Idle:-
At Load:-
You guys can see even at load of about 45% there are no deflections in the Voltage Regulations.
3d mark Vantage:-
Max Payne 3:-
The above 2 tests use Gpu mainly and for that I record less Power Consumption.
On 100% Load on Cpu and Gpu:-
Even at the 50 % load psu shows approx negligible deflections. Now time for some final Words.
FINAL WORDS:-
By Conducting some above tests Now we came to know Why Seasonic is often the choice of enthusiasts, even we are little shocked to see how good it is.
This Power Supply has excellent efficiency value and even Heat dissipation is low which implicates a noise level to lower value as there isn't much heat to be removed by fan. we were impressed, the PSU was one of the best performing production of 1000w Smps segment, the PSU hints towards a 80+ Platinum certification and yeah, we have to acknowledge the efficiency of this product alright.
This 1000W P-Series power supply looks to continue in the tradition of innovation and quality that SeaSonic is renowned for, and it accomplishes just that, delivering great features and excellent performance.
Pros:-
- Excellent build quality
- 7 years of Warranty
- High efficiency
- Less heat dissipation
- Lower Noise Level
Cons:-
- No significant
Specially Thanks to Seasonic For providing this review Sample.
