Conclusion
With the SS-1250XP XFX released a true high-end product. At least
at a first glance. There is a costly AC filtering stage, an extremely high end
fan, and the massive use of Nippon Chemi-Con capacitors. These are things which
stand for highest quality and its hard to find other PC PSU's which are built
according to similar standards. Furthermore this PSU is very reliable even if
you plan it for long term usage. On the other hand there is the fact, that the
12V Mosfets could have been equipped with a more powerful cooling solution. This
part gets quite hot when high loads are applied over long time. This could end
in an issue if you are running the PSU at full load/overload for a very long
time at high ambient temperature. For lower loads this certainly causes no
issues and we consider the P1-1250-BEFX one of the most reliable PSUs for
standard PCs with a long lifespan. Last but not least there is the fact that as
a customer we would like to get more information from the specs about the rail
design.
Due to the reasons mentioned we have to take away a half a star. This is very
sad, we would have loved to rate this high quality PSU with 5 Stars.
