I need a PSU for a re-casing project. I have used Seasonic modular units in the past, they seem slightly less common than "be quiet" which sounds a bit like one of these made up Chinese company names except it happens to spell a couple of words!
Is the "gold", "bronze" efficiency an honest measure or is it just marketing?
Suggestions/recommendations welcome :-)
I've not bought one recently, last change was from Seasonic to Corsair, after the former started producing different levels of coil-whine at different loads, didn't actually fail, just annoying.
I think it is genuine. Over a 7 year period a gold power supply could save its extra cost and then save you some more compared to a bog standard PS on a PC that is on for a lot of the time.
It *might* be built with better quality capacitors like those
105C Japanese ones.
Cooler master moduler power supply. Used 100's over years, never seen one fail.
