Seasonic S12 II S12II-620

Elite

In the power supply market, the Sea Sonic name is akin to the Gucci and Armani brands — high quality, authoritative and expensive. Often even very expensive. Therefore, in recent years, the brand has become more friendly to the mass market and has released several relatively inexpensive models with a quality certificate of 80+ Bronze. Among them is the Sea Sonic S12 II.

Plugs for all occasions

The first thing that strikes you when you get acquainted with the Sea Sonic S12 II is a huge number of additional options for connection. They include 9 SATA for hard drives, 6 Molex for peripherals, 2 PCE-E for connecting graphics cards, and even a pair of ancient mini-Molex designed for connecting a floppy drive. Apparently, when designing this PSU, the engineers were guided by the principle "it will not be superfluous."

Purchase recommendation

In other respects, like any PSU from Sea Sonic, this model shows itself almost perfectly both in tests and in real operation. It demonstrates small supply voltage fluctuations, low ripple on all lines, a relatively high efficiency of 82% and a calm attitude towards overloads.

Smart cooler control system

It also implements a proprietary cooler control system that surgically adjusts the speed of rotation of the cooler blades depending on the load on the system. And this is noise reduction and energy saving. In addition, the reliability of this power supply is ensured by the use of high-quality Japanese capacitors in its design, which have low resistance and a wide operating temperature range.

Not without reason in many reviews it is called the new leader of the "bronze" segment.
