Seasonic M12D 850W: DC-to-DC Perfection?

Cables and Connectors
With the power supply of this caliber, the cables of course come with sleeving. The maximum cable length is 80cm (32"), which is long enough for most cases. However, the minimum length of 50cm (20") on the ATX connectors is only average and may not work well in full-tower cases -- particularly cases where the PSU is on the bottom. Such cases usually require cable lengths of at least 60cm if you want to route the cables nicely and keep from impeding airflow.
Most of the cables are detachable and come in an extra bag Seasonic provides. The 24-pin ATX connector, 4-pin ATX12V and 8-pin EPS12V connectors, two 60cm 6-pin PEG connectors, and SATA harness are all affixed to the power supply; all of the remaining cables are optional. The power supply provides a total of four PEG connectors, which is decent for an 850W power supply, but it's certainly possible to power higher end configurations (i.e. triple SLI -- even if NVIDIA refuses to certify "smaller" PSUs for such use).
The Fan
Sanyo Denki, a renowned Japanese fan maker, produces the 120mm San Ace fan installed in this power supply. The model number is 9S1212H403.

I have no idea... I think I said "and they feature" perhaps? Heh. Go Dragon!Slash3 - Wednesday, November 26, 2008 - link
Argh! The fingers, use them! :) It's probably faster, too, after correcting two dozen mis-transcribes.JarredWalton - Thursday, November 27, 2008 - link
I would... but carpal tunnel issues make it a problem.BikeDude - Saturday, November 29, 2008 - link
Sorry to hear about your carpal tunnel issues.But I have always thought that such issues stems from mouse usage. So at work I use my left hand for moving the pointer, and at home the right hand.
Using a keyboard should not normally be much cause for concern?

Blame the editor (me) and my speech-recognition. Should have been "fails".PrinceGaz - Wednesday, November 26, 2008 - link
On page 3, about the cables, the speech-recognition software seems to have made another error[/quote]Most of the cables are detachable and come in an extra bag Seasonic provides. The 24-pin ATX connector, 4-pin ATX12V and 8-pin EPS12V connectors, 260cm 6-pin PEG connectors...[/quote]
I think that should read two 60cm 6-pin PEG connectors.

I thought someone was supposed to proof-read these. ;)feraltoad - Wednesday, November 26, 2008 - link
What speech recognition s/w do you use Jarred? Do you use it just for large amounts of text entry or is useful for other things like quick posts like this. Does it make things quicker? Or does fixing the errors eat up a lot of time? I guess you just save time and don't fix those errors. haha j/k!feraltoad - Wednesday, November 26, 2008 - link
Oh. U use Dragon. Well, other questions stand!
