The Corsair stuff is paracord, which for aesthetics isn't as nice as other materials such as MDPCX or the stuff from Moddiy. For such an expensive PSU, don't compensate. smile.gif

So if you buy a wire kit, make sure it is meant for one of those, and it should work with your Seasonic.


As for the Paracord/MDPCX stuff, I REALLY like the look of paracord, and the price for a full kit cannot be beat.

Agreed! Once you see in person how good MDPC-X sleeving is there's no going back, I have 200 meters (665ft.) of MDPC-X sleeving ready for my X-1250 that I will receive Monday. I feel for the person who had to custom cut 1000 pre-cut heatshrink for me, but then it cost quite a bit of dough! Even though MDPC-X is in Germany it takes about the same shipping time as if you purchased something from the East Coast while living in the West Coast, it's surprisingly fast shipping.

Compatible, to a degree. Subnet's take on compatiblity between the Corsair sleeved kits and the Seasonic X series psu - conclusion, all but the peripheral [molex] are compatible.

my further view on compatibility based on eyeballing my own Seasonic cabling and Subnet's pix and newegg pix - conclusion, the 8 pin cpu are different.

Have had my x1250 for 4 months now. The thing is beast and overkill but got it at a great deal on the CL.

I still can't believe how quiet my Seasonic X-1250 is even under moderate load, the fan is silent using normal cooling mode! I emailed Sea Sonic regarding the RMA process, they would have you send in ONLY the power supply and not the cabling. So if you were worried about sleeving your own cables that came with your PSU don't be.

I can also tell you that my Seasonic X-1250 is as easy to remove the pins and sleeve as any other PSU, someone mentioned it was difficult to get the pins out of the connectors, I can tell you that I didn't have a problems whatsoever.

Dear customer,

Thanks for contacting Seasonic - Customer Service Dept.

When RMA, you only need to send the power supply back, no needs for the cables.

Best Regards,

Iris Wang

I'm running my X-1050 "upside down" because the wiring works better that way, and because it looks better through my case window. I'm wondering if it's safe to run it in this arrangement? Because if I'm not mistaken, the power supply and the graphics card are fighting for the same air. The power supply is pulling down and the graphics card is pulling up. Do you think they're far enough apart that it doesn't matter? They're only about 4-5 inches apart. Or is this arrangement going to create an additional strain on the two components?

I started wondering about this when I noticed that my X-1050's fan never idles like the Gold series are supposed to. When I was first decided to install the PSU upside down, I thought that it would actually be helpful for it to be able to vent upwards, what with heat rising and all, and that maybe the fan would run even less than it would otherwise. I guess I was wrong. I was worried that maybe my PSU was defective, but recently, I had the case apart to swap out my H80 and powered on the computer for a while (without the graphics card) and discovered that the fan in my X-1050 is indeed capable of idling, so it isn't defective. It doesn't seem possible that my build is drawing enough energy while idling to break the 25% threshold required to activate the fan. Part of the reason I got the 1050 was because it was overkill and I figured it would idle and be silent except when gaming.

Thoughts? Anyone else running theirs like this who's had any problems? Anyone else have a fan that doesn't like to idle?

My X-1250 fan either at idle, running OCCT and/or EVGA OC Scanner doesn't make any noise whatsoever, even when I place my ear a few inches from the fan. The fan never stops spinning though, what do you consider a fan at idle?

With your "upside down" configuaration the PSU is drawing in warmer air from below the graphics card instead of cooler air from outside the case. The more underload the graphics card is the bigger the temperature delta will be. I think the longevity of a PSU is suited by keeping it as cool as possible. I see your point about the wiring but maybe you should re-think as you will get a cooler and quieter PSU.
