PG Delay issue on Seasonic Platinum.

Took apart my ss-1000xp Platinum modular power supply to paint the chassis white. Sleeved all the cables which took a few days, and put it back together. Bought a power supply tester to make sure voltages are being displayed right, as well as making sure my pin layout was on point. Being the genius I am, did this AFTER I took it apart, and not before I disassembled to get a comparison. Power supply is turning on fine, voltages are good with all my sleeved cables. But once in a while, the PSU will fail the PG Delay test. I'd get either 0 or 40 ms. Out of around 100 or so power cycles. I would get 3-4 boots that would fail the PG Delay test.

Is this something to be concerned about? Unfortunately, my dumb ass didn't think to test it with a PSU tester before I disassembled it. Power supply has been working perfectly with no issues for a few years. Kept it in anti static bag while I was painting and sleeving the cables.

Should I be worried? Is it still safe to use this unit? I get around 260-300ms on the PG Delay on around 95% of the boots with this tester. Yet rarely, it pops up with a pg delay beep fail.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello Ikasu,

Thank you for your message.
Did you have this issue before sleeving your cables or not at all? At least did you notice such issue before sleeving your cables? I don't think cables can be responsible for this but better to ask.

Thank you.

I did not know we even had a seasonic rep here =O. Unfortunately, I didn't test it before hand. Since the power supply has been working flawlessly before. Only bought the tester to see if voltages were being displayed incorrectly as I had sleeved my cables, and wanted to make sure the time I took in making a diagram, pinning out the cables, and sleeving didn't cause any issues in terms of cable layout. I have not put the power supply into my system just yet, as I've been waiting to find out if an occasional fail in pg delay can cause issues, or damage hardware in my system. Invested quite a lot into new hardware, last thing I want to do is damage anything.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.
Well, if you still have an original cable not modified, I would give a try and see. Normally speaking, if sleeving has been well done, it shouldn't cause any issue. Else, PG issue will just affect your PSU to start. Like PSU got all safeties, nothing to worry about this.
Try with original cables if you can and compare to make sure before using in your computer. (if you ask me where to find some original cables and if you are in the US:

Thank you.
