Seasonic Prime Fanless 600

The Seasonic Prime Fanless 600 seemed to get universally praised, yet it would appear to be in very short supply. OCUK haven't had it in stock for ages and it's in scant supply elsewhere. Is it EOL? Is another product on the horizon? Does anyone here own this PSU and have any thoughts on it?

While it may be a very good psu, at £207 or more the price is ridiculous for a 600w psu. You don't really need fanless these days as most quality psu's have a hybrid fan mode or a silent fan anyway. Titanium maybe super efficient but you will never save enough money in electricity to justify the extra cost. A quality gold rated unit with silent fan or hybrid mode is the sensible choice.

I use the Seasonic Prime Fanless 600, I'm impressed with it, no coil whine, totally silent. I paid £170 for it in January. I didn't mind paying that much considering it's got a 12 year warranty.

I tend to agree, that's very costly for the wattage. Plus with eco mode a lot of the higher wattage PSUs (gold or >) are nearlly silent anyway.
