Installation:
The installation for this power supply will vary upon case, But with the Cooler Master HAF XB Evo, it was fairly simple and cables were very lengthy, and of nice quality. All of the Cables plugged in with ease, and fit snug in the power supply. Length of cables is plenty for cases of all sizes, and allows for good cable management. Everything you need will be included in the box, such as some handy zip ties, and Velcro ones as well.
Performance:
Now while this power supply is already quiet, the Hybrid mode will make it change when needed meaning that fan will only spin when it needs too. It's a nice feature to have. On top of all that It is a very nice power supply that is very efficient, and will provide enough power, for a high end system, and future proofing.
Overall: If this is on sale on a good price, I would totally recommend that anyone purchase this as it is a very nice power supply and should be enough for most people. Quality is there, as well, With a 10 year warranty, and a good company behind it, there should be minimal to no problems with anything that may happen. This having platinum efficiency is also another very nice thing to have, as well with the modular cables for cable management for all kinds of cases.
With the market always changing check your options on power supplies, including sales on power supplies, and prices changing by the days. Always check your options. But this power supply, and brand is very recommended by me, glad I gave them a chance!

After around 14 months of use, the PSU started having issues whenever 400W or more power is pulled. I filled an RMA and, with a turnaround of a little over a week, received a replacement PSU that's been running fine for a month now. Will update my review if anything else comes up.
Original review below:
I initially purchased the EVGA GM-550 PSU which is a tad smaller and is pretty quiet except the unit I had had terrible coil whine under load. Normally that would be drowned out by the fans of the other components, but my new build uses a EKWB A240G so there only two fans in my entire system plus the PSU. The A240G probably has some seriously quiet fans which means if there's any coil whine anywhere, you're going to hear it loud and clear. So I returned the GM-550 and got the SGX-650 instead and now the only thing I can hear under load are my inner thoughts saying "good job bro".
But in all seriousness, here's a comparison of the two based on my personal experience:
Similarities
1. Both the GM-550 and SGX-550 weigh about the same
2. The fan doesn't turn on until the PSU gets a bit warm (so even under load it will stay off for a bit)
3. Dead quiet when idle
4. Power on self tester
5. 80+ Gold
Differences
1. The GM-550 is smaller by about an inch
2. The cables in the GM-550 are sheathed (not individually sleeved), but the sheath that they use makes the cables very difficult to work with. They don't like to bend or twist at all. The SGX-650's cables look better IMO and are much, much, much more flexible.
3. The GM-550 supported a few less SATA devices but that's expected since it's the GM-550 and not the GM-650 which supports the same amount as the SGX-650.
4. The SGX-650 comes with cable ties! The GM-550 doesn't but has those sticky cable wraps (I don't know the proper name) which can do the job but take up a bit more space and don't look as clean. The SGX-650 also comes with the sticky cable wraps.
5. And finally, but most importantly for me, the model of the SGX-650 that I received did not have any coil whine. Like at all. Is this thing even on?
I know coil whine can be a hit or miss, but if I had to choose between the two again, I would choose the SGX-650 simply because the cables look better and are much easier to work with.

Reviewed in Italy on April 8, 2024
Die Anforderung war, ein leises Netzteil zu finden - gar nicht so leicht, nachdem viele neuere Baureihen pfeifen oder billiger gebaut sind, als die Vorgängermodelle. Dies ist der Fall:
- Das Seasonic erzeugt kein nerviges Spulenfiepen.
- Der semi-passive Modus ist praktisch. Der Lüfter bleibt bei geringer Belastung aus und erzeugt auch keinen Lärm.
- Selbst wenn man den semi-passiven Modus ausschaltet und der Lüfter anspringt, erzeugt er keinen Lärm. Anders als ein Vergleichsgerät von Bequiet erzeugt dieser Lüfter bei geringer Last nur ein ruhiges Hintergrundrauschen, das überhaupt nicht stört.
Zum Vergleich: Ein Bequiet SP12 erzeugt ein moderates Spulenfiepen und der Lüfter rauscht und rattert nervig. So viel zu "be quiet".
Und ein Corsair RM850x erzeugt ein sehr lautes Spulenfiepen.
Großes Lob an Seasonic, hier wurde offenbar noch nicht zu viel gespart. Weitere Bestellung folgt.
Mein altes hatte über 35000 Stunden im Server weg. (Nicht defekt. Liegt im Keller)
Kabelmanagment gut. Preis Leistung für mich überragend.
