Seasonic X-1250 (SS-1250XM2) 1250W Review

Cada computadora siempre tiene un propósito diferente, por lo tanto tendrá distintas formas y características, lo que resulta en un consumo energético que varía considerablemente. Aclarado eso podemos concluir que no existe una fuente de poder universal, sino que hay que escoger una que tenga la capacidad de alimentar el equipo de manera satisfactoria. Un sistema promedio puede sobrevivir con una unidad de baja capacidad sin duda. Pero cuando se trata de equipos de alto rendimiento, que disponen de varios procesadores o tarjetas gráficas, es otra historia. En casos extremos como estos, utilizar una unidad de gran capacidad tiene mucho sentido y resulta en una sabia elección.En el presente la Seasonic X-1250 (SS-1250XM2) es la fuente de poder con mayor capacidad que existe en el portafolio de la marca. La SS-1250XM2 es capaz de entregar la impresionante capacidad de 1250W además de contar con una certificación 80PLUS Gold, pisándole los talones a las unidades con certificación 80PLUS Platinum. La unidad actualmente forma parte de la Serie X de Seasonic, que ha sido renovada con una plataforma cuidadosamente actualizada. Estas nuevas unidades se diferencian de los anteriores por la leyenda «XM2» presente en sus números de modelo.

Una Mirada Más Cercana

La portada de la caja luce un fondo oscuro con acentos en dorado. Una imagen parcial de la Seasonic X-1250 se encuentra en la esquina inferior derecha junto con el logotipo de la certificación 80PLUS Gold. Logotipos propios de la marca, la Serie X y capacidad del modelo están presentes también.

Desplazándonos a la parte posterior de la caja, se nos presenta una imagen del interior de la fuente de poder. Seasonic ha se ha esforzado por explicarnos algunas de las características más importantes de la misma.

Descubrimos varios accesorios que nos facilitaran la instalación de la unidad, así como la administración de los cables. Tenemos varios cinchos, organizadores de velcro y tornillos. También hay un manual de usuario y una calcomanía a modo de decoración.

Como es de costumbre en los modelos de gama alta, un estuche atractivo alberga todos los cables modulares que se utilizan con la fuente de poder. Los cables tienen un diseño plano para facilitar su manejo dentro del gabinete. Solo el cable ATX tiene un diseño redondo por su grosor.

Una base gruesa fabricada con hule espuma tiene la importante tarea de proteger la Seasonic X-1250 contra cualquier percance que pueda ocurrir durante su manejo.

Aparte de la base de hule espuma, la Seasonic X-1250 esta guardada en una bolsa negra de terciopelo que tiene grabado el logotipo de Seasonic en dorado. Esta pequeña bolsa asegura que la fuente de poder llegue al usuario final libre de rayones y polvo.

Las unidades con capacidades mayores a 1000W suelen venir en tamaños más grandes por los componentes internos adicionales que conforman su fabricación. Por lo mismo la Seasonic X-1250 mide 190mm de largo, 150mm de ancho y 86mm de alto. El cuerpo tiene un acabado negro mate con acentos dorados. La ventilación de la unidad es apoyada por un ventilador de 120mm en la parte inferior.

En uno de los lados, se puede apreciar el logotipo de Seasonic y otro de la Serie X en tonos dorados.

En el lado opuesto, encontramos una etiqueta grande que nos especifica los detalles técnicos de la Seasonic X-1250W.

La Seasonic X-1250W es una unidad completamente modular por lo tanto tiene un panel donde se ubican todos los conectores modulares para conectar los cables. Estos conectores están ordenados en filas. Cada uno tiene su señalamiento respectivo para que el usuario sepa cual cable va en cual conector. Por último, vemos un interruptor para elegir el modo de control de ventilador.

A través del interruptor, el usuario puede elegir entre el modo S2FC o el modo S3FC. El modo S2FC mantiene el ventilador en operación todo el tiempo mientras el modo S3FC mantiene el ventilador apagado hasta que la carga sobrepase cierto porcentaje de la capacidad de la fuente de poder. A esta nueva característica, Seasonic le ha denominado “Hysteresis” que consiste en un circuito integrado que controla con qué frecuencia se prende y se apaga el ventilador. Asumiendo que la unidad se encuentre en un entorno con una temperatura ambiental de 25°C, el ventilador se prende cuando la carga sobrepasa el 30% de la capacidad de la unidad y se apaga cuando la carga disminuye abajo del 20%. De esta manera, el ventilador se prende y se apaga con menor frecuencia que da resultado una reducción de la pérdida de potencia en el modo sin ventilador o modo silencioso.

Seasonic favorece el uso del diseño en forma de panal en su panel trasero de sus unidades porque brinda mayor eficiencia de ventilación y a la vez menor nivel de ruido. El interruptor de encendido y apagado tiene un tamaño grande para facilitar su uso.

Una vez abierta la unidad, podemos apreciar el modelo del ventilador de 120mm. En esta fuente de poder en particular, Seasonic implementa un ventilador Sanyo Denki San Ace que es muy conocido por su alta calidad, confiabilidad y flujo de aire. El ventilador con modelo 9S1212h503 utiliza rodamientos de bolas y consta de siete aspas para mover una cantidad grande de aire para enfriar los componentes internos de la unidad.

Seasonic ha elegido utilizar su plataforma insignia XP3 para la X-1250W. Y como siempre podemos observar componentes de alta calidad en su manufactura. La disposición de los componentes esta ordenada y el trabajo de soldadura es impecable.

La Seasonic X-1250 utiliza nada menos que tres capacitores japoneses primarios de alta confiabilidad. Al acercarnos a ellos, descubrimos que provienen de la marca Hitachi y están certificados a 390uF, 420V y 105C.

La parte secundaria está dotada de capacitores electrolitos y capacitores polímeros que son de Nippon Chemi-Con.

Los disipadores de calor están dispersos a través de la unidad. Se encargan de enfriar los diferentes áreas y componentes como los FETS, rectificadores, controladores.

Metodología De Pruebas

Nuestra metodología principal consiste en medir el desempeño de cada riel utilizando un multímetro. Esto nos permite tener una idea acerca de las fluctuaciones de cada riel. Se medirán los voltajes con el equipo de pruebas en reposo y cuando este en carga completa. Cada prueba se ejecuta durante un periodo de 10 minutos.

El estándar ATX especifica que el rango de tolerancia aceptable para las fluctuaciones de voltajes en los rieles de 3V, 5V y 12V es del 5%.

We remind that we have a BEST PRICE GUARANTEE. This means that you can buy gypsum boards (GSP and GSPV) at the best price in Moscow!

Gypsum Particle Board (GSP) is an innovative, environmentally friendly building material for interior finishing of floor, wall, partition and ceiling structures. Composition : gypsum 83%, shavings 15%, moisture 2%. The high-tech and fireproof (G1, T1, V1, RP1, D1) material is significantly superior in quality and physical and mechanical characteristics to the well-known Gypsum cardboard (GKL), Gypsum fiber sheet (GVL) and other similar plate (sheet) materials used for interior decoration.

GSP slab is widely used in premises: social facilities, medical institutions, schools, kindergartens, sanatoriums, etc., as well as in residential, public, industrial, administrative buildings as:

— lining of internal wall surfaces, ceilings and partitions

— prefabricated floor base screeds for various finishing coatings

— fire-retardant lining of wooden and steel structures

Gypsum chipboard solves a number of problems in low-rise housing construction:

— strip foundation (fixed formwork)

— subfloor (two layers along the logs with offset seams)

— finishing for finishing the internal thermal contour of wall structures, ceilings, partitions

DETAILS

Relatively recently, a new building material appeared on the Russian market — gypsum chipboards (GSP). It is a high-quality, environmentally friendly, durable and fire-resistant material, which is widely used in construction, from private residences to administrative public buildings. GSP slab is a kind of analogue to drywall and gypsum fiber, but a more innovative and high-quality building material.

The plate manufacturing technology is carried out by semi-dry method of mixing wet wood shavings and gypsum binder, this mass is placed on steel sheets, after which it is pressed and dried without heating to high temperatures. This manufacturing technology contributes to the strength of the plates, they are not subject to deformation, because. their humidity and ambient humidity is the same.

Gypsum boards were first developed in Germany and presented in 1982 at an international conference. Over time, this material became very popular throughout Europe.

In Russia, gypsum board has also gained immense popularity due to its excellent performance, such as:

• excellent sound insulation (gypsum itself is an excellent sound insulator)

the main connecting link in the composition of the boards is gypsum, which protects the wood shavings in the board from fire

• High strength

• Eco-friendly — no glue or resins. GSP stove is absolutely safe for human health!

It is very effective to use gypsum boards in damp rooms, because they have the ability to absorb it at high humidity and vice versa, when the air is dry, to release moisture, which allows you to create a comfortable microclimate. With prolonged exposure to moisture, the moisture-resistant plate does not change its properties and characteristics.

GSP slab structures are well suited for further decorative finishing, they can be wallpapered, painted, tiled and ceramic tiled. In addition, the surface of the plates makes it possible to use such finishing materials that require a perfectly smooth surface, for example, film coatings, etc.

Yesterday I finally tested the tent in winter conditions, spent the night in it in the mountains, in the forest area. There was a frost of 25 degrees, and not a weak wind. The tent survived, despite the wind and the lack of a windproof skirt did not blow inside the tent. It is clear that at minus 25 outside in the tent it will not be much warmer, but nevertheless it was colder inside minus 15. Yes, in the morning, of course, frost formed on the walls of the inner tent, this is inevitable in winter, but to my pleasant surprise there was not much . I think that the Normal Elbrus 2 tent can be positioned as a 4-season tent. I am satisfied, I recommend this tent to all tourists. It is clear that for winter nights you need an appropriate sleeping bag and krvrik

Competitor MSR

The first time I used a Normal tent (rented) in Kamchatka, I was satisfied and therefore decided to buy my own. The choice fell on Elbrus 2 SI PU. Lightweight, spacious enough, good performance, easy to install, etc. I have been using it for more than a year, I tested it in different regions and at different times of the year. In the spring in the Crimea, 4 days under the rain, she showed herself very well, and most importantly, we were dry). In summer, in Kunashir (Kuril Islands), the weather changed every day. In autumn, in October, Moscow region forests?. I summarize: there is no need to be afraid that you will get wet, there is no need to be afraid that you will freeze or it will be very stuffy, does the ventilation do its job ?. Excellent product of good quality. I recommend ???

Normal Elbrus 2 tent

Great tent! A worthy competitor to the American MSR Nubba Hubba NX and HP. Not inferior to the «Americans» in comfort, but in terms of reliability and strength of materials, durability — superior. Excellent awning, inner tent, good durable mesh part, bottom. An excellent balance has been found between the strength of the tent and its weight (the maximum weight of the Normal Elbrus 2 tent is 2.5 kg ..). I have already learned from bitter experience that for the sake of low weight (ultralight, crazylight) one cannot sacrifice the strength and durability of the patty (make a thinner awning, thinner retina and bottom, less dense weave of threads in the fabrics from which the tent is sewn). Metal-polymer fittings are also distinguished by reliability. Request: for Normal to also supply a footprint (additional floor mat) for the tent, either as a set or separately

Good tent

Good afternoon! We go hiking all the time, but mostly in the summer. Our focus is hiking with a base camp, so there we live together in a 6-seater tent-palace with a hall, where we hold tea ceremonies and so on. And this summer I had to go for several days from the camp alone with the team and drag all my and other things on the back. Therefore, I began to look for and buy a light small tent. I took this Elbrus 2sipu. Cool size — I fit with a big backpack with a bang. She put shoes and a mug into the vestibule from the top awning. Inside, I put a watch on the upper grid, for example. Also convenient. Not very many times I personally assembled and set up tents, but I figured it out quite soon. Norm, convenient. I also like the top olive color, it mimics a forest)) and inside it is a positive yellow. The only thing!! The bottom is very thin. It got wet even without rain, from the dew in the morning there were spots of moisture inside. This despite the fact that I, the day before the hike at home, setting up a tent, saw that the bottom was useless and bought an additional bottom. trump, one is a little longer, but the other was not. Here.
In general, if you calculate the issue with a thin bottom, I am pleased with my tent. But let’s see in the campaigns … so far only one has been tested — the Ural one.

The first check of the tent

Lived in a tent for 7 nights, no complaints, the material is light and durable
The design is quite stable against not very strong winds, in case of strong winds you can additionally tighten the braces
The tent is installed and disassembled very quickly, there are no extra parts, extra pegs and anything that can interfere with the passage in the campsite and weigh down the weight carried
It rained for 3 days, did an excellent job of its task, even in the vestibule, things remain dry with proper packaging, not a drop was spilled inside.

One of the features is a very thin floor (maybe it is very durable, I did not check it, but it looks flimsy), you need to carefully choose and prepare a place for setting up a tent, or carry a bed under it with you
the inner pockets do not sag, even with heavy things in them, the zippers did not jam or chew the tent itself.

In general: satisfied with the purchase, it seems that it is worth the money, it remains to be checked by time

See all 8 reviews of Elbrus 2 Si / PU

they require proper handling and storage.

  • Before setting up the tent, prepare the chosen site by cleaning it of objects that could damage the bottom of the tent (for example: stones, branches, cones and other sharp objects).
  • The bottom of the tent must be stretched evenly, avoiding creases and folds in the bottom, which can lead to fraying of the fabric.
  • Do not pitch your tent near open flames.
  • Do not use naked flames or hot objects inside or near the tent.
  • Learn about the fire safety measures of the place where the tent is set up.
  • Do not smoke in the tent.
  • Keep entrances clear.
  • Adjust the tension of the straps and guy lines of the tent when the external climatic conditions change (for example, after a long rain). Make sure that there is no contact between the tent and the inner tent, otherwise all the condensate from the inside of the tent will be inside the tent itself.

Awning and inner tent

The main thing that tents are afraid of is storage in a damp state and, as a result, the formation of mold during storage. Therefore, if the weather permits, dry the tent well before assembling and packing. If this is not possible, be sure to dry the tent at home as soon as you return.
When assembling the tent, do not forget to shake and remove all foreign objects so as not to damage its fabric, as well as to exclude staining, mold and rot. Not dried tents are not recommended to be tightly rolled up. In a humid environment, the PU coating at the folds and folds may come off, and the water resistance of the tent in these places will be lost.
Protect the tent from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight as UV damages the PU coating. Try to pitch your tent where there is shade.
Also, there are special impregnating agents to protect PU coatings from ultraviolet radiation, this is especially true for using tents for a long time under direct sun (in the desert, camping, in the mountains at altitudes above 3000m). Under the condition of periodic processing, this coating will increase the service life of the product by 20-30%. The resulting pollution must be removed. Dirt embedded in the fibers can increase the number of microorganisms leading to rotting of the material. It is important to remember that the use of a washing machine in this case is highly discouraged. As detergents, use household, and even better, baby soap. If the dirt is very ingrained, you can use a soft sponge. You can soap from the outside of the tent or the bottom of the tent. To wash off the dirt, use warm water (no more than + 40C). Don’t rub!!! Ideally, wash the tent in a straightened form. After that, again, thorough drying is required. Make sure that the zippers are not clogged with dirt.
To restore the water-repellent properties of the fabric, there are many modern special impregnations, such as Nikwax. But these funds will only briefly protect your tent from leaking, you need to prepare for its replacement, since even expensive impregnations cannot give a reliable result. Minor damage that occurs must be repaired as soon as possible. This will facilitate further use of the product and will not allow damage to increase.

Frame

When assembling the arches, pay attention to the joints of the tubes — there should be no gaps between the elements. Avoid getting dirt and sand on the connecting elements of the frame. The frame should assemble freely without significant effort. The disassembly of the arcs should be started from the middle and then folded in pairs. Firstly, it will extend the life of the inner rubber band by stretching it evenly. Secondly, it will simply allow you to facilitate disassembly: faster and requires much less space. No matter how strong the frame is, it will not withstand loads higher than the loads provided for by the design of the tent. No need to pull up on the arcs of the frame to test its strength. A fallen tree frame will also not withstand. Store the archwires packed in a dry place.

Pegs

Tent pegs must be attached only to the reinforced loops provided for this purpose, and not to loops for folding skirts, etc. The latter are not designed for wind loads and can be torn out with a strong gust of wind. When packing, sharp pegs should be stored in a tight bag so that they do not damage the tent during transportation. In a word, if you take care of your tent, it will reliably protect you from cold and dampness.

The outer canopy of the Normal Elbrus 2 Si/PU tent comes in two versions: for those who like bright colors — yellow, and for lovers of tranquility and asceticism — olive. The convenient case has a nice design, it is comfortable to carry in your hands and fits easily into a backpack. The cover has a drawstring on one side, a zipper with handles on top.

In addition to the awning, frame, inner tent, the kit includes braces, pegs — 8 pieces of a classic shape, all this is in convenient cases. There are also repair bushings and clamps.

The tent is a two-layer structure with a prefabricated frame and an independent inner tent. Quick assembly of the frame is achieved by connecting all the elements together with rubber cords and aluminum hubs.

The tent is designed for three seasons: spring, summer, autumn. This tent is double, with two identical vestibules in front and behind, the width of the vestibule is 80 cm. The internal volume of the tent is 128 cm (width) by 210 cm (length). Since all walls in a tent are vertical, space is not lost, as is the case with tents with inclined walls, where part of the space is lost. The tent easily fits all things together with a backpack.

Under the awning at the entrance to the inner tent there is an anti-mosquito net equipped with a zipper with two locks. The zipper is two-way, works in different directions. If it became cool at night, then the grid can be closed completely or partially. The grid forms through ventilation. On the other side is exactly the same entrance.

Let’s take a closer look at the inside of the tent. Here you can see a vent made up of mesh.

On the opposite side is exactly the same. Below the ventilation are long pockets, which are also duplicated on both sides.

These pockets are designed to hold small items such as documents, phones, etc.

On top of the tent there is also a pocket in the form of a hanging shelf, if desired, it can be easily removed.

Let’s talk about decoding and designations

Elbrus Tent 2 Si/PU. The “2” in the model name indicates that the tent is designed for two people. “Si/PU” marking means that the tent is coated with silicone and impregnated with polyurethane. This is an additional impregnation that allows you to keep your tent wet in rainy weather. The awning is made of lightweight and durable 40D Nylon Taffeta R/S Si/PU fabric with taped seams. The inner tent is made of material: 40 D Nylon Taffeta R/S WR.

When removing the awning, first loosen the braces at the bottom along the perimeter of the tent. Next, remove the mount on the transverse arc. There is also a guy line in this place, it is made for convenience — we just pull it towards ourselves and release the arc. To attach the frame, a small metal element is sewn on a sling at each corner of the inner tent. On the other side of the element, a sling is attached to fix the “inside” to the ground with the help of pegs.

In conclusion

Tourist tent Elbrus 2 Si/PU is designed for hiking, water and other types of trips where weight plays an important role.
