Seasonic Launches the New Lineup of the Platinum Series PSUs
The launch of the Seasonic Platinum series has achieved great success last year. The fully modular Platinum-860W and Platinum-1000W power supplies have won numerous accolades and became standards of excellence for the 80 Plus Platinum design throughout the entire industry.
This year, by presenting an extended family of the Platinum series, Sea Sonic's strength in innovation once again takes center stage to lead the way towards solutions that require the highest efficiency and top performance. The new lineup of Sea Sonic's Platinum series will span the output range of 400 to 1200 watts. All units of the family come equipped with our patented Fully Modular DC Cable design that maximizes output, ensures the stability of the crucial 12V rail and, at the same time, provides ease of integration and ensures forward compatibility.
Sea Sonic's extended Platinum Series, which is currently the most complete 80 PlusR Platinum series available on the market, entails the following products:
All the Seasonic Platinum Series power supplies utilize top quality components, such as gold-plated high current terminals and Japan-sourced 105℃ aluminum electrolytic capacitors, which contribute to high performance, reliability and extended product lifetime. Sea Sonic is committed to high quality and stands behind its products by offering 7 years warranty for all the units in the Platinum series.

Now when are the Diamond rated coming out?
Only that finished cables are good.
BTW i dont think people should upgrade from Gold to Platinum for 1-2% efficiency, seems like a fairly stupid move to me.
I wonder what comes after Titanium?
Unobtanium?
B: 3-phase power has less conversion losses, but that doesn't mean it's the right medium for providing power to a computer. So why use it? Also higher voltages inherently have better conversion rates because 230v is impacted by circuit resistance that much less than 115v. Remember Ohm's and Joule's laws.
Heat is directly proportional to the square of the current times resistance. Which means that on a machine that uses 115v which draws twice as much current as 230v will have 4 times as much losses due to resistance because heat (conversion losses,) is that much higher in 115v because you need more current to make up for less voltage.
With that said, 230v is also more dangerous to service and work with than 115v. Even if it can deliver twice as much power on the same cabling or just as much power on smaller cabling (with more insulation of course). There is a reason why you see 12v and not 230v in a car.
Some men upgrade to GTX 680 SLI while still gaming on single screen 1080p,does this makes sense?and for that 1-2% number,where you get it?
I like Seasonic and CORSAIR too.
