💡 Seasonic Focus SGX-650: Compact 650W Gold SFX Power Supply with Full Modular Design and Silent 120mm Fan Review

**UPDATE** After about 14 months of use, the PSU started to have problems when drawing 400W or more of power. I filled out an RMA and received a replacement power supply in just over a week and it has been working fine for a month now. Will update my review if anything else comes up. First review below: I first bought an EVGA GM-550 power supply, which is a bit smaller and pretty quiet except that I had horrible coil whine under load. This is usually dampened by other components' fans, but my…

This power supply is very small. I haven't built a computer in a while so I figured it might be normal or just for use in ITX cases or something. But the PSU says SFX/ATX so I bought it (there is an adapter plate so it can be installed in the ATX hole). It looks like a quality device and it powers my computer perfectly out of the case. Once everything was set up and running, I started plugging the components into the mid-tower case (Be quiet Pure Base 500), ignoring the cable routing in the…

The SGX-650 is a fully modular SFX-L 80Plus Gold certified 650W power supply. The SFX-L is a slightly larger power supply form factor than the SFX: in particular, it has more depth - 125mm instead of 100mm. This makes room for an internal 120mm fan for cooling instead of a smaller 92mm fan, which is beneficial for airflow and noise. However, due to this longer physical size, you should plan accordingly based on your PC case. It should also be noted that Seasonic uses a fluid-dynamically mounted

I wanted a new SFX power supply for my case as the full size model blocked the slot that allowed cables to be fed into the back of the case altogether make cleaner. This one hit the spot and also had 100 watts of extra power to protect me from some of the other upgrades I'd like to make (Hello Cyber Monday Sale!...don't tell your wife). First, the size is fantastic, it also comes with an ATX/SFX adapter (which some brands don't have), and it's ridiculously quiet. I had an issue with one of the…

This review is for the SGX-650 (650W, fully modular, SFX-L form factor). I like everything about this PSU except one; Cable. The PSU itself looks well made, it's not flimsy or toy-like, the finish feels industrial and solid, the placement of the modular power connectors is excellent, and the 120mm fan provides adequate cooling for gaming loads, ever louder than anything else. still on my system. Cables, on the other hand, while decent quality with solid connectors, are totally unsuitable for…
