Seasonic Platinum 860, different versions?

Post by zenith » Sun Jun 09, 2013 12:31 pm

I was browsing the Seasonic USA site, and noticed that the 860 Platinum is listed in two places. As far as I can see there are two model numbers:
SS-860XP Platinum Series
SS-860XP2 Platinum Series XP2

The XP2 is part of a newer series with both the 660 and 760? I also noticed that those have a Nvidia SLI ready logo. There seem to be minor differences in the user manuals too, like more detailed specifications and maybe the XP2 has a couple of more PCI-E (8/6Pin) cables? I am not sure if there are any other differences, but I guess it is a safe choice to buy the newer model.

I sent them an email a few weeks back, still no reply. It seems the SS-860XP2 is shorter than the SS-860XP, 16cm vs 19cm.
