Greg, Do you use the one you showed a link for? I see there is a lot of reviews stating that the power supply has a wine noise. Could this noise be from the components inside the power supply? I see it at amazon for $30.00 more. I do get free shipping from Amazon. Also they have another that is

I haven't used that particular model, but I do use the 1000W (then-flagship) Seasonic Platinum. I have not noticed any noise coming from the unit. Corsair PSUs are usually very good, but they use multiple OEMs. None of them are junk, but I'm a big Seasonic fan at the moment. -Original

I can't take credit. :) Stan Zaske was the one that first started talking about them, and I was actually pretty skeptical...but I bought a Seasonic S12 in 2005 and never looked back. PCPC was purchased by OCZ in 2007...and I'm not a big OCZ fan. -Original Message- From:

Tim, I accept your visuals, and, of course, YMMV. Stuff still does happen! Please understand that Seasonic psus come in Bronze, Silver, Gold/Platinum specs. I only buy the top models anyway. I am not a price shopper. Duncan On 08/09/2013 14:03, Tim Lider wrote: Duncan, I have installed 2

Their RMA process is stellar. I had one start to make fan noise. Normally I'd just replace the fan or just replace the unit (it was an older, lower end model), but it still had some warranty coverage so I decided to use it as a test case for Seasonic's return process. I got an RMA number and sent
