It was almost a year ago that Lee reviewed the Seasonic PRIME 750W Titanium PSU; today it is [H]ard|OCP who has a review of a cousin of that PSU. The Seasonic PRIME 850W Platinum PSU is a new addition to the PRIME family, bearing the same 12 year warranty as its relatives as well as the single 12V rail design and physical Hybrid button. As [H] have already reviewed the previous 850W PRIME model, the newcomer has some big shoes to fill. It comes very close to doing so, as you can see in their full review.
"As is usual, Seasonic talks softly and carries a big stick. The biggest stick lately has been its Prime series power supplies. Today's Prime comes to us touting excellent efficiency, a fully modular design, tight output voltage, and a quiet noise profile supplied by a fluid dynamic bearing fan. Does Seasonic continue its current reign?"

The really bad part is
The really bad part is Seasonic’s move away from Double Ball Bearing fans to a design that is basically a fancy sleeve-bearing fan in the entire Prime line.
I anticipate they will regret this move 2-4 years down the line, as lots of fans start dying.
