Easy start

Seasonic CORE is a series of computer power supplies from the beginning of the middle price range. It is represented by three powers (500, 550 and 650 W) and three cable management options: non-modular GC sub-series, modular GX and semi-modular GM. In the latter case, the processor and motherboard power wires are made fixed, while the rest are removable.

Gamers Approve

Two well-recognized certificates flaunt on the Seasonic CORE case at once: 80 PLUS Gold and TUF Gaming. The first implies an efficiency of at least 92% at half load on the PSU, and the second belongs to The Ultimate Force Gaming Alliance line of gaming computer components and accessories under the patronage of ASUS. All TUF devices are made in a single black-grey-yellow colour and compare favorably with increased reliability, which guarantees uninterrupted many hours of gaming sessions.

Keep up with the times

Circuitry at CORE is, of course, Seasonic's own design and manufacture, while many competitors in this price segment resort to rebranding off-the-shelf solutions from third-party OEMs. Seasonic CORE's operating principle is based on progressive DC-DC conversion, instead of less reliable group voltage regulation. Capacitors are used exclusively high-temperature (up to 105ºC) Japanese Nichicon, Nippon Chemi-Con and Rubycon.

Everything will connect

The 500-watt version of Seasonic CORE delivers 492 W on the main +12-volt line, that is, almost one hundred percent of the nominal value, and two 6 + 2-pin graphics card connectors are available. This is more than enough to power any PC, even with a flagship processor and graphics card. The length of the most problematic processor cable for concealed laying is more than 65 cm.

healthy eating

The Seasonic CORE is cooled by a quiet 12 cm fan from Hong Hua (an old fan partner of Seasonic), however, on a conventional plain bearing. However, hydrodynamics in this price segment, in principle, is not found. And Seasonic is so confident in CORE's durability, including its cooling system, that it's backed by a seven-year warranty. No other PSU manufacturer in the price segment up to a hundred dollars can boast of such a thing. In addition, Seasonic CORE implements every single level of protection: OCP and OPP from overload, OVP and UVP from over and under voltage, SCP from short circuit and OTP from overheating.
