Seasonic PRIME 650W Platinum PSU Review

The same shiny box as all the other units in the range. We see a 10 year warranty sticker bottom left. This has however recently been upgraded to a whopping 12 years which is the best in the industry. You can read about the 12 year Seasonic warranty upgrade (HERE).

The rear of the box highlights a basic overview of some of the main features alongside a high resolution image of the power supply itself.

The power supply ships protected between thick blocks of foam, and is encased inside a soft felt bag, shown in the image above left.

Seasonic fully load this box with a wealth of extras. You get a modular cable bag, resealable plastic wallet, regional specific power connector, two kinds of cable ties, a case badge, branded sticker, an installation guide, mounting screws and user manual.

The Seasonic power supply is a pure modular design. The cables are a mixture of sleeved (ATX, CPU and PCIe) and flat ribbon style (peripherals), for ease of routing.

Connector Number of Connectors Cable Lengths
Main Power (20/24 pins) 1 1 x 610 mm
CPU (4/8 pins) 1 1 x 650 mm
PCIe (6/8 Pins) 4 2x 675 + 75 mm
SATA 6 1 x 450 + 120 + 120 + 120 mm
1 x 350 +120 mm
Peripheral 3 1 x 450 + 120 + 120 mm
Floppy 1 1 x 101 mm

This 650 Watt supply has 4 PCIe connectors, to support 2 way SLi and Crossfire. There are 6 SATA connectors. The higher spec 850 Watt model has 6 PCIe connectors and 10 SATA connectors. The 650Watt supply has a single CPU power connector, not two – as on the higher models in the range.
