Running on an RMA'ed Seasonic M12II-520 right now and I've been experiencing random Kernel Power error shutdowns every few days. Tried take all the usual steps to remedy (checking the RAM, changing the power profile) but I couldn't find a way to make the problem go away so I figured it's time to get a new PSU
Originally I had my mind set on a Superflower Leadex Gold 550w or a EVGA G2 Gold 550W, but then I came across a writeup stating certain flaws in both units that frankly I'm not savvy enough to understand. See Link
Then based on what's recommended on the a PSU tier list, local availability and pricing I've narrowed alternative choices down to either another Seasonic M12II-520 or a Seasonic G-550.
Here is my question:
1) Is the problem highlighted in the writeup I've linked to serious enough for me not to purchase either Superflower OR EVGA PSUs?
2) Assuming SuperFlower/EVGA have not been eliminated, what is the best choice out of the 4 options for value based on the following prices: / Leadex Gold = $142 / EVGA G2 = $159 / G-550 = $153 / M12II-520 = $118 /
Given the above information, any advice given to help make my choice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to take the time to reply.
* In case it's relevant, I'm running an i5-4460 with a GTX1060.
