Ok, so I got a choice between those 2 PSUs for my new haswell build. I know most people will go like Seasonic is best hands down. Though, I would like to discuss it. I have been looking for differences between the two modules and here is what I found.
1. According to newegg, the Corsair PSU supports Haswell while Seasonic does not. After researching I found that the problem with Seasonic is when the CPU goes to sleep mode. The Seasonic PSU has problems with that. It requires you to disable the option on BIOS.
2. Corsair is modular while Seasonic is not.
3. Corsair cables are longer.
4. After reading all Cons on Newegg I found that the Seasonic modules die within 1-2 years for some people and there are many DoA. On the other hand Corsair has lower number of DoA and none commented that their PSU died.
5. Seasonic efficiency is higher than Corsair by 2-3%.
6. Seasonic is somehow cheaper than Corsair (not by much).
Those are the only choices of PSUs I can get. What do you guys think. Thanks.
