Mid last year Seasonic introduced the technical high level Prime Titanium power supplies, which we were very happy about. At the start of this year the brand released versions that are more affordable; these Prime-models are still high-end power supplies, but Gold and Platinum certified. They are available in different variants; we tested all of them for this article.

All Prime power supplies are semi-passive, completely modular and offer a large number of connectors. With that the models in this series are suited for extremely varied purposes, varying from an average all-round game pc to high-end machines with a Skylake-X processor and SLI- or Crossfire set-up, to mining rigs that have six or eight graphics cards. The recent mining hype did not only result in a shortage in the world of graphics cards, but also renewed the interest in power supplies with a capacity of 1000 watts or more. Compared with their previous generation power supplies, Seasonic promises that the Prime series are more silent under load.
