Seasonic Platinum 1050W Modular Power Supply Review

Over Power Protection and Max Wattage


Power supplies often quote as having various protection mechanisms such and the most important of these is Over Power Protection. In our testing we crank up the power draw until the power supply either shuts down (meaning the OPP mechanism is present and working) or blows up (meaning it is either not present or not working). We then note the maximum power consumption before the power supply shut down (or blew up).

1050W is a huge amount of power, but for those moments when it’s not enough, such as when benchmarking or when you have a power spike, you can be confident that this unit will keep on ticking. The 1050W peaked at 1411.2 before the OPP kicked in and powered off the unit, very impressive!

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
