A Detailed Look (Cont’d)
The Platinum 1050 and Platinum 1200 PSUs both come with a good assortment of all modular cables (see Specs table for number and size). All of the cables except the 24-pin ATX power cable are the flat, ribbon-style cables for easy routing and a clean look. The cable sets are identical except the Platinum 1200 PSU includes one additional PCI-E cable which ups the count to five cables and ten PCI-E connectors.
Here are a few photos of the Seasonic Platinum 1050 power supply showing the components and internal layout. The Platinum 1200 PSU is nearly identical except for a few slightly larger components as you would expect.
The Platinum 1050 incorporates a reliable topology with LLC resonant controller on the primary with synchronous rectification and two DC-to-DC converters (+3.3V and +5V) on the secondary. All of the capacitors are high-quality components with predominately electrolytics on the main PCB and solid polymer caps on the X-Connect board. The three primary capacitors are made by Nippon Chemi-Con and rated for 330 uF, 420V, and 105°C (three 390 uF, 420V, and 105°C caps in the Platinum 1200).
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.
