Seasonic Precise

Post by BillyBuerger » Thu Mar 04, 2004 6:41 am

I just got an email ad from SVC. One of the things on it was the Seasonic Precise. I haven't heard of this model before. Looks like it's a budget version of the super silencer. Slightly lower effeciency at 75% and no PFC.

Is this a brand new thing? I haven't heard anything about this before.

Looks interesting for sure! I think I'll not be the first to buy it though. You guys can be the guinea pigs. :)

Looking at Seasonic website it looks like an old thing (the FS series) in new retail packaging. Still has the S2FC fan control and Forward Converter AC/DC for efficiency so not too bad, but not ATX 1.3 compliant.

I would be more enthusiastic if they were even cheaper!

Seasonic says expected street price is $39, SVC tends to price new products high though.

If it has that same fan controller as in the rev A2 SS 400, I wouldn't take it if it was free!

I am completely spoiled by the Nexus NX-3000 which has not yet revved up one single time and I've had it over a week. The SS 400 couldn't go an hour without revving up. And the Nexus is just plain quieter.

One very happy owner of the Nexus NX-3000 :D

I noticed on SVC's website that the Seasonic Precise 300W's model number is 'SS-300FS R3'. Could this be an indication that this part uses the same rev 3 fan controller as the A3 editions of the Super Silencers and Tornados? Or am I just being too optimistic? :lol: Any first-hand experiences with this PSU would be greatly appreciated, as I am seriously considering purchasing this one.
