HIGH-VOLTAGE SAFETY: Disconnect AC before external inspection. Never open, probe, or repair a PSU internally; hazardous charge can persist after unplugging. Replace a damaged, wet, burnt, modified or unidentified unit, or use qualified service.

Model-specific specifications

Manufacturer / exact modelSeasonic VERTEX GX-1200; model / SKU SSR-1200FX. Match the complete regional suffix, hardware revision and label.
Rated capacity1200 W continuous total output as the manufacturer-rated class; combined rail limits and operating-temperature derating remain model-specific.
Efficiency certification80 PLUS Gold, listed by the manufacturer for this named model. Certification does not identify an unknown PSU revision or establish used-unit condition.
AC input100–240 V AC, 50–60 Hz; use the unit label for current and regional mains rating.
DC rails+12 V: 100 A (1200 W); +3.3 V: 25 A; +5 V: 25 A (125 W combined); −12 V: 0.3 A; +5 VSB: 3 A.
Connector set24-pin ATX; two EPS/CPU 4+4-pin; one native 12V-2x6 16-pin; three PCIe 6+2-pin; 16 SATA plus two SATA 3.3; three peripheral 4-pin.
ATX / PCIe revisionATX 3.1 / PCIe 5.1 revision of VERTEX GX; not the original ATX 3.0 cable revision.
Mechanical envelope170 × 150 × 86 mm (depth × width × height). Verify mounting holes, fan/grille clearance, cable exit/side-panel clearance and tolerance against the case drawing.
ProtectionsOPP, OVP, UVP, SCP, OCP and OTP. Protection labels do not guarantee a safe outcome under a fault; use only a healthy, unmodified unit within its documented ratings.

Compatibility & revision caveats

  • Check the complete SSR-1200FX model code; earlier-generation VERTEX GX cables and 12VHPWR/12V-2x6 wiring should not be presumed compatible. Respect cable bend/clearance guidance and case length.
  • Confirm motherboard 24-pin and EPS count/pinout, GPU cable type, total power, rail limits, chassis dimensions, cooling clearance, region and full model suffix before purchase or installation.
  • Modular PSU-side pinouts are not standardized. A cable that physically fits is not evidence of electrical compatibility; use only leads explicitly approved for this exact model/revision.
  • ATX, ATX12V and PCIe connector revisions describe interfaces, not quality, safety certification or automatic compatibility with every PC component.

Manufacturer product and manual sources

  1. Seasonic VERTEX GX-1200 product pageSeasonic model listing; regional page availability may vary.
  2. Seasonic VERTEX GX data sheet (PDF)Manufacturer’s VERTEX GX data sheet; match the 1200 W row and revision to SSR-1200FX.

When a broad product-family page conflicts with a model-specific manual, label or cable table, the exact unit label and corresponding model documentation take precedence.
