220 will have a bit better efficiency, but that's not the biggest problem with the unit. It has bad voltage regulation(goes out of specs) on the 12v rail. The 12v rail is the most important rail in modern systems, a good PSUs 12v rail will usually have a max wattage close to the advertised wattage of the PSU. Anther big concern is the poor quality capacitors on the primary and secondary side. Whether running at 110 or 220 the PSU is junk quality.

I found this answer on your analysis.. tell me what you think?. (i use google translator)

"The label specifies that the source lines support a +12 V max. 18 A and if you notice, while this specification is not violated, the source did not show any fault, and as he notes Martin was due to leave at 18A load on these lines and increase those of + 3V and + 5V respectively, to reach full power and see if it was supported. Instead + 12V lines overloaded and burned down clear source ... They wanted ?? !!

If you look carefully until no test 17 source presents no fault as it is in this last where the load on the lines of + 12V reaches its peak 18A, while the lines of + 3.3V and + 5V are just 5A loaded when the label specifies that can be loaded up to 25A and 30A respectively.

A simple mathematical exercise (which is not electrically exact) show that raising the burden on those lines, even without reaching the maximum power specified by the nameplate is reached. See ---- & gt; 600-432 = 168 - & gt; Then (arbitrarily) we divide 168 100 + 68 and it turns out 68 / 3.3 = 20A (5A below the max. Specified) and 100/5 = 20A (10A below the max. Specified).

Another point to consider is that if you look at the evidence, these were carried out with nominal voltages of 110V (American standard) and anyone who knows a little electricity knows that the yield curve is higher for 220-230 110-115 the so efficiency (at least in regard to our country) is miscalculated.
With what conclusion can be seen that the source if it produces what it promises."

The Seasonic.

Now above isn't entirely correct. Your PSU has got SCP, OPP, OVP. In case of failure, overvoltage, or overload, your PSU will shut down.

The whole PSU matter has become absolutely ridiculous. I understand that people go by a list as safe bets, and if they can find something better for the same price or less, then by all means. However, MAJORITY overexaggerate.

If those features work and weren't skimped or just flat lied about then yes the PSU shouldn't damage anything. Thing is they flat out lied on their wattage rating and cut corners on other important parts so are you really going to trust their protections?

Seasonic is the better quality unit.

Yes, I absolutely would trust Cooler Master. I wouldn't trust a knockoff brand. I'm all for a better PSU, but OP (apparently?) already owns one. I personally don't see any problems with that unit. Quick search shows a ton of people happy with the unit as well, with fairly decent rigs. However, each to their own. I did want to state my opinion on this though. Because you'd be surprised how many think that the Tier list means lowest explode and highest won't explode.
