Thats the funny thing. I bought the Platinum maybe 5 months before I bought the 1250 W one. And I have also worked on XFX's X1250 which is a version of the Seasonic X1250. I thought at first that some were difficult and some were easy because I saw alot of people complaining, but between these 3 models, I've only broken pins on the Platinum and that was when I was now trying out the staples method. So I'm not quite sure.
Either ways If my PSUs were easier to sleeve, I thank god. However, my goal from the start was to buy wire and crimp my own connectors. So far the results have been pretty good. I wonder if the "Freedom" of not having to worry about broken connectors had me yanking the cables more than other people? I don't think so, as I was somewhat cautious because of the experiences OCN members shared about the pins breaking etc, so I don't think I was yanking out these cables. At most, I had to wiggle the cables. Still I only had maybe 3 broken connectors................well actually 2 were bent and 1 was broken.
As we are on the topic of sleeving, can someone tell me why FTWPC isn't restocking its Molex Crimp connectors. I wanna get to make my own molex cables, but it looks like I'll have to go to frozencpu or performancepcs.
