Small APFC Diode Boost

[Andi lim]

It begin with the need for 850W PSUs, and one of my candidate is seasonic P860 Platinum. After googling, I find one review in http://www.overclockers.ru/lab/53761_2/Obzor_blokov_pitaniya_Seasonic_Platinum_860_i_Seasonic_Platinum_1000.html.
But something bother me, that P860 used CREE C3D03060 ( 3A 600V ) as it APFC boost diode.

As far that i know, this diode is too small for 860W PSU, i think at least this PSU require 8A diode, as his big brother P1000, used 10A boost diode.
I wonder what the impact of the small APFC boost diode in long term for this PSU ?

You're talking about this PSU?

Platinum, 7-year warranty and rated by Anandtech as "probably one of the best PSUs ever tested" and you think they fuxx0red up the choice of components?

If you think so, keep looking.

I agree with you, that Seasonic P860 "probably one of the best PSUs ever tested", that way this psu is in my list.
Although review in Anandtech did not mention about APFC boost diode, but this review about SS-860XP version 1.
The PSU that i am talking about is SS-860XP2 ( version 2 ).
