Full power rated up toiThe ambient temperature up to which the maker rates full continuous power, such as 50 °C. A review table that prints 0-50 °C with no maker source is not enough. An operating temperature range that does not say full power is not enough. A maker table with load steps gives the full-load row, such as 40 °C at full load next to 50 °C at 80 percent load. A temperature that a Cybenetics report marks as manufacturer-provided counts as a maker statement.

CablesiOne row per kind of cable that runs from the PSU to a device. Connector is the plug at the device end. Count is the number of those plugs over all cables in the row. Length runs from the PSU end to the first plug. Adapters that plug into other cables are left out. Use 16-pin PCIe when the maker names a 16-pin GPU cable without saying 12V-2x6 or 12VHPWR. A cable from a 12V-2x6 socket on the PSU to 8-pin plugs is a cable, not an adapter, and counts as PCIe 8-pin. When the maker's documents name one GPU cable both 12VHPWR and 12V-2x6, use 16-pin PCIe and name both in the source note. Cables of one connector kind with different lengths or wire gauges get one row each.

The review says there are no native PCIe 6+2 cables and that the two traditional PCIe cables come from the 12V-2x6 socket of the PSU, so the dual 8-pin cable shares that socket with the native 12V-2x6 cable. The review gives 16 AWG for the CPU and PCIe cables. Lengths come from this single review, since Seasonic's own cable table was not readable. The SATA 750 mm and Molex 690 mm figures match Seasonic's cable table for the CORE GX family, which gives the length to the last plug, so they are not stored.4Retailer pagedekada.com/en/seasonic-psu-atx-31-650w-gold-full-modular-pcie-51-core-gx650-v2-srpcgx651a5a32sf-p-6265.htmlRead 14 October 2026Connector counts: 12VHPWR 1, PCI-Express 6+2 pin 2, Molex 3, SATA 6, 4+4 pin ATX/EPS 2, 20+4 pin ATX 1.

Protection and parts

ProtectionsiProtections the maker lists, or a retailer spec table copies from the maker, plus protections the Cybenetics protection tests show working (UVP, NLO, SIP). The Cybenetics manufacturer list has no OVP or UVP row, so do not build the list from it alone. A protection that is not listed may still exist. No-load covers no-load operation and no-load protection. Fan failure is a maker's fan failure protection or fan safeguard, also when the Cybenetics manufacturer block lists it.
