A Detailed Look
Both Platinum Series power supply enclosures feature a scratch-resistant black matte black finish and measure 190mm (7.5”) deep.
The back panel includes a power receptacle and master On-Off switch.
The two new Platinum Series power supplies use a high quality 120mm Sanyo Denki San Ace 120 fan (9S1212H403) for cooling. The fan is controlled by an improved Hybrid Fan control IC, which reduces fan hysteresis (how frequently the fan switches on and off). At 25°C ambient temperature the fan turns on when the load rises above 35% (±5%) and turns off when the load drops below 25% % (±5%). Due to this lag in response the fan switches on and off less frequently, which reduces power loss in Fanless and Silent Mode.
The Platinum 1050 and Platinum 1200 power supplies come with fifteen nicely labeled sockets on the front panel for connecting all the modular cables.
The bright blue label is designed to draw your attention to the Fan Control mode selector switch. You can select between Hybrid (S3FC) and Normal (S2FC) fan control modes. The Hybrid Silent Fan Control provides three operational stages: Fanless, Silent and Cooling Mode. The selector switch allows for manual selection between the Seasonic S2FC (fan control without Fanless Mode) or S3FC (fan control including Fanless Mode).

While I may never buy a drive
While I may never buy a drive this size, I have yet to lose a Seasonic PSU. I just retired a 2006 rig and the PSU was part of the original build- it’s now a spare. The replacement rig has a lighter version of this PSU, but I like how Seasonic is rolling too.

Why does Seasonic continue to
Why does Seasonic continue to put the text labeling on their power supply units upside down? They are the only ones that I have come across who do that, and it doesn’t make any sense, and makes trying to read the labels when hooking up the cables an pain in the arse.

I got two of this PSU’s both making very annoying high pitch whistling sound.
Seasonic RMA has not fix my issue.
I had the older brother 1000W platinum and was very quiet, this one is nightmare.
I’m done with Seasonic for now.
