according to the seasonic marketing material

"The Seasonic PRIME PX-2200 is a robust power supply capable of safely powering up to four RTX 4090 graphics cards, thanks to its adherence to ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 specifications. Designed for demanding applications such as artificial intelligence and other high-power workloads, this flagship unit from the PRIME series delivers top-tier performance built on high-quality components."

it's nice Seasonic makes it but it's clearly not made for PC gamers so not sure why some people seem to be up in arms about it

_roman_That PCIE 5.0 bullshit makes other marketing stupdity people also. There is no PCI Express BUS as far as i know in power supply units. Feel free to correct me with the datasheet and application notes from a well known power supply unit manufacturer like seasonic and so on. Basically fraud as there is no pci bus in it. I have one such psu, there is no possibility to physically put in my Radeon 7800XT in that psu with the 16 lanes pcie connector.

has more to do with efficiency and reliability which would impact something like a data center more than you. Obviously the bus is not on the PSU but the PSU needs to support that 5.x bus in order to have access to those full features.

DammeronI wish Seasonic refreshed their 600-1000W portfolio, since most of those PSUs don't support the newest standards.

they need to sell out that old inventory first otherwise they would be stuck with it, similar to how corsair handled the RMx although I do believe many of Seasonic's lines are now ATX 3.x

I wouldn't buy another Seasonic even if it was the only one available....

ill pick one up for my next itx build:respect:

msimaxill pick one up for my next itx build:respect:

may need to mod the case just a bit

evernessinceEspecially important for the 12VHPWR and 12V2X6 cables given they have tighter manufacturing tolerances. There is a greater chance of manufacturing defects leading to catastrophic failure.

most users are unaware of is that the cable remains the same! There is no change to the cable connecting the PSU’s 12+4 pin (or 2x 8pins) to the graphics card’s 12+4 pin header! To provide you with the whole picture, there is one difference: the naming scheme! Instead of 12VHPWR cable, it is now called 12V-2×6 cable! Crazy right? I know! It is super crazy, but it is what it is!
The connectors on the PSU and VGA sides are different, they were 12vhpwr and now they become 12v2x6 and have mechanical differences.
:rolleyes:

Why is that?

MakaveliWhy is that?

Wonder why too, Seasonic is excellent, I've used their same 650W platinum rated ATX supply across 3 builds now for many years zero issues.

Regarding this 2.2kW PSU, well zero interest, but I'm a home user. Not running at 240VAC outlet nor would I ever do a build that needed over 500W.

MakaveliWhy is that?

It's the only brand I've had major problems with.
They pretend to be big but they are very small. Go to their website industrial.seasonic.com/contact-us/ and click on the locations, you can see that only the one in the USA is a real tiny branch.
In any case, i bought a PRIME titanium model, which from the very beginning would fail to turn on every now and then. The problem became more and more frequent, at first I didn't pay attention to it, I blamed the power strip. Then one day it suddenly turned off while surfing the internet, I smelled something burning, not too strong but it was noticeable. I tried to start it several times but I could only hear the relay, tick....tick....and nothing else. Dead.
I replaced it with a Corsair CWT platform, no problems for years.
Then I had other brands, like Antec, Enermax and now I have Super Flower.
I can only speak well of all except Seasonic, which also has a disastrous RMA and support service. I've read about people who received other faulty or defective units as replacements in RMA.
In short, I'll stay away from it as far as I'll have to deal with a PSU in the future.
My personal experience.

that's just a small office to handle distribution, marketing & sales. Not sure how many locations you think they should have in the USA

roccaleAntec

Antec has used Seasonic as an OEM in the past

roccaleCorsair CWT platform

Corsair & CWT have excellent testing facilities and CWT is huge compared to Seasonic. Also Corsair has used Seasonic as an OEM as well

That's perfectly fine. I've actually had more issues with Seasonic than with CWT units (mostly coil whine) but that hasn't stopped me from buying Seasonic when the price is right

Yes I knew everything obviously otherwise I wouldn't have expressed myself. Besides that psu seasinc PRIME titanium I haven't had any other psu with seasonic platform.
Lately seasonic is becoming a bit of a meme in many groups, channels...
In any case I reposted an experience that could be useful or not.
To each his own choice.

Onasi12VHPWR is the old one. 12V-2x6 is the revised one.
www.techpowerup.com/310761/12vhpwr-connector-said-to-be-replaced-by-12v-2x6-connector?cp=5

Ah! Now that's confusing. Almost as much as USB standards are.

Onasi...I think you misunderstand something. The 8-pin end of the connector is going INTO THE PSU. Into two of those CPU/PCIe ports. Not the GPU.

Oh, you mean those cables! But how much power can you get through them? Isn't it (2x) 150 W, like with all the rest of the standard PCI-e cables? If not, and you can actually power 4 4090s with them (1.8 kW) then I get it.

TheDeeGeeIt's fool proofing for people like you, so you can't plug in ALL the cables and overload the rail.

There's no point having that many rails if you can't plug them in all at once, imo.

Just hook that PSU up to one of these and you're good to go! :D

AusWolfI don't get it. There's 9 CPU/PCI-e outputs, but only 3 CPU and 4 PCI-e cables (a total of 7). Not what I'd expect from a bazillion dollar, jiggawatt PSU from Seasonic.

Excessive, Only if Crossfire worked

is it impossible for psu manufactures to make a psu with 120v 20amp, i would like to get a 2200w psu and my house is completely wired for 20amp
