Thanks Paul. It looks like problems encountered by OW has gone now and it's a dam good PSU.

I think there is a mistake in the connector count table...shouldn't PCI-E 8 pin count be 4?

Yeah it was supposed to say 2x2 for modular and fixed. Ill fix it. The text below it is however correct.

Has anyone checked to see if the OCP is set anywhere near 40A on these units?

My unit would not do 70A on one rail. I uhhh accidentally found that out before figuring out the color coding was screwed

[shinji2k]

Heh, that's surprising. I was kind of hoping they didn't even bother with it and just said they did. It still doesn't make up for the fact that having 40A rails is pointless.

Same question: why are there TWO boost inductors?

Again not entirely sure. That review was done several months ago as an express due to launch date originally and I don't have the unit anymore.

Quite a few reviews of the Seasonic M12D-850 850W on various websites.

Wish their was at least one review of the Seasonic M12D-750 750W, as thats the only one available for the last two weeks in the UK.

I've decided to purchase it, I just hope it's as good as the 850W version.

Do you people think it will be adequate for my spec?
