I ordered this PSU today,but of course I started reading the forum posts about coil whine,and now I'm a bit paranoid,with the luck I have,I'm almost certain that mine will be horrific. One thing that I haven't figured is if people having issues are running it on 110V or 220V, 'cause it might be very important factor in different experiences people have with this PSU. So I'm wondering,how did it perform for you,and do you use it on 220V?
It’s been performed well for me. My PC has been operational since April past year. Have had no problems at all. I’ve got a video about coil whine on my PC. But, I think I got it wrong. It’s a weird beeping coming form one of the components. Not sure which to date. But I only hear it when I’m too close to my PC, I mean, like putting my ear just few inches away while the glass panel is open. I haven't touched my Vertex setting so it runs at higher voltage. But I assume it's 110V.
@@WarlordDestroyer Thanks for the reply,it might be the reason, because I haven't seen any bad reviews of atx 3.0 PSUs in stores in my country,which has 220V standard, yet I go on reddit and see people complaining about almost every manufacturer and their atx 3.0 PSUs, mostly from US, which I know uses 110V standard,and on some forums,I've read solved the problems with UPS.
@@sokantnevesti603 I believe mine also runs by default at 110V. It’s the standard voltage here in the Americas (North & South). I haven’t had a single problem so far with mine. To be honest I haven’t seen bad comments from Seasonic Power Supplies as I’ve seen from other brands.
If coil whine originates from the power supply unit (PSU), it can be identified by listening near the main power connector; if the sound is audible in that location, it is indicative of a PSU-related issue. However, you indicated that the sound is located near the panel, which suggests that the coil whine is emanating from the motherboard.
Thanks, man. I recorded a video with my phone while the technician was assembling the PC. The aesthetic is a bit different than what I'm trying to do. But some shots do show the power supply cables briefly. I’ll upload it soon.
Question about the 16pin 12VHPWR cable: Both ends of the cable (connectors) look the same tot me, however one of the connectors has the label "N" on it while the other does not. Do you know what side of the cable goes into the PSU and what side goes into the GPU?
I just noticed that this very exact moment after reading you. My GPU is placed horizontally, so you could say it looks like a narrow “Z”. But yes, it’s an “N”. In my case, the 12VHPWR connector with the “N” labeled by the right side is plugged to my GPU. The technician that assembled my PC had it connected that way. Sadly I’m not sure if it means something if you had it connected to the PSU.
There’s a component that’s causing coil whine but I haven’t determined which one is. It’s barely noticeable. The only way I can hear it is if I put my ear inside the opened case. Normally I work with the glass panel on, so I don’t hear it at all.

Buenas Rafa. ¿Qué tal el montaje? ¿Has tenido problemas con los cables? ¿Qué tal son? He conseguido otra GX-1200 como la tuya pero ando pensando en pillar unos cables de Cablemod.
Ayer finalmente mandé a ensamblar el PC y estaba bastante preocupado en el proceso, pero salió todo muy bien luego de 5 horas. Mi Case es un Cooler Master H500P Mesh y todo cupo a la perfección. Tiene suficiente espacio en el panel lateral que ni dobla el cable 12VHPWR directo a la GPU que incluyó esta Seasonic Vertex. Yo tenia la intención de comprar el Angled Adapter de CableMod, pero ya viendo que todo esta bien no lo veo necesario. De momento no he notado algún problema.
It’s just enough to power the PC. Plus, the Platinum ones were out of stock back then. I was like a month behind the target time to leave the build ready.

Nice Un-Boxing :)
nice man! can you do a video of how the cables look? i checked cybernectics and they claim this actually has platinum efficiency rating!

@@WarlordDestroyer Awesome, I bought this too as I didn't trust be quiet dark power 13 fan issue, my last PSU was also a seasonic never let me down

Any coil whine?

why is only a gold psu?

A gold rating doesn't automatically mean it's a quality PSU. There's tons of trash gold rated PSU units out there.
Are vertex all SFX-L? It literally doesnt say the size
I don’t know. According to the specs sheet of this model… Vertex GX; Dimensions, 160 mm (L) × 150 mm (W) × 86 mm (H)
They are standard atx size
