Unless you find a really good deal on a 80 PLUS "Platinum" PSU, "Gold" certified is just fine. You only get a couple extra percentage points in efficiency with a Platinum and that would take many years of use to make up for the extra purchase price in energy savings.

BTW, just because you bought your last PSU "some time ago", that does not mean you need a new one.

Yup i use SS X1250 XM2 here.

Reputable designs are a must.

Im sure mine will last for 20 years now that multi gpu utilization is dead.

oops sorry I forgot I put that there. it was $65, with a $20 rebate card, so $45 for the PSU 700w version.

but yeah it was also a graduation gift

Well, that's not totally unheard of, but that likely would still be a stretch. It is more likely, however, you will retire it before it dies.

I was gonna go with gold, but found focus plus platinum 550w for 97 euro. That's why I wasn't sure about the model names.

Since a lot of golds at 550w are 80-90 euro around here, I thought I'd go for the platinum even if it's an older model.

The Focus PX is the new model, you can tell by the packaging name label and also the fan on the PX has an updated design than the Focus Plus

Me too. I have always felt a quality case and PSU form the foundation for a computer that can support years of evolving and upgrades. I'm just saying 20 years is a long time. Even if the PSU is still functioning, what if something comes along to replace the SATA power connector? Or the ATX Form Factor is replaced by a new form factor as happened before when we went from AT to ATX?

Then the PSU may have be retired before it dies - just because it became obsolete.

Wait, Seasonics have in-cable caps?

My Prime Titanium on my server doesn't, at least.

old focus series has cable capacitor but new series using new cable without cap.

new series prime titanium or old series?new prime series has new design and i don't think still has shut down problem.

When I was looking at power supplies, the Seasonic XP seemed a better product line than the Focus or the Prime Platinum in benchmarks, but sadly it was discontinued. Seemed like they took a step backwards. It also had a nice San Ace fan.

It was/is one of the first, so I am guessing original series. Never had a "shutdown problem" on my 24/7 server.
