Introduction (Cont’d)

Hardware Secrets Golden AwardAll wires used on all peripheral cables are black instead of using colored wires (black, yellow, red and orange), as you can see on Figure 4. On each cable the wires are stuck together, which is great, as you won’t have loose wires inside your case blocking the PC internal airflow.

Figure 5: On each cable all wires are stuck together.

Like power supplies from Enermax, this unit comes with a plastic pouch for you to store the peripheral cables that aren’t being used at the moment.

Figure 6: Plastic pouch for storing the peripheral cables.

From the power supply comes three cables: the main motherboard cable with a 20/24-pin connector, an ATX12V cable and an EPS12V cable. A plastic sleeving protects all cables.

The 24-pin motherboard connector can be easily transformed into a 20-pin one, as you can see on Figure 7.

The gauge of all main wires is 18 AWG.

This power supply is really manufactured by Seasonic, as we found out reading its UL number. Taking a look at Seasonic’s website, we couldn’t find any model that matched HX620W, however it seems that HX620W is actually a model from Seasonic S12 series.

We decided to fully disassemble this power supply to take a look inside.
