Seasonic are using an ADDA AD1212MB-A70GL fan. This is a ball bearing unit rated at 0.33A/12V.
The unit follows a very clean layout inside, with several rows of heatsinks separating the components.
The G360 is using a Japanese branded electrolytic capacitor from Hitachi, rated 270 µF x 420 V @ 105c.
The +5V and +3.3V outputs are delivered by two DC-DC converters. These are positioned on the single PCB in the secondary section of the layout. We noticed that Seasonic are using high grade Japanese capacitors in the secondary stage from Chemi-Con and Rubycon, also rated to 105C.
The cables are fully sleeved into the chassis and tied into position. This should help resolve any concerns with long term fraying.
I do have to say, this is a good design, but I cant see any enthusiast opting for a 360W power supply. it is a common misconception that we need 750W or higher. I bought a 20 quid power meter and my system takes 150W at the wall under load. ive a 550W in mine, its running at a very low efficiency load. with this power supply it would be almost 50% load, so peak.
Its food for thought.
Really interesting to see Seasonic aiming at this market. id like to see a review of the 550W or 650W too. coming?
this is an ideal choice for my media center build. thanks.
do you sell these in Australia or much will the cost to be sent over they look awsome
This is perfect for a typical system with a 2500k/3570k + 7850 or 650 ti. Would actually be better than using a higher wattage psu as it would peak at around 50 percent load when gaming.
