Hi all. Just trying to get people's vote on which to go with. I don't want to draw out the long details on why I'm sticking w/ these 2 choices, but I'll just say it's more of a backup PSU for testing new hardware components for system upgrades, OCing, possible multi-GPU, ect and having a PSU to test in other systems. I've had to install my previous Seasonic 860W "test" PSU as a permanent install in my X58 system. It was a sad day, as my 10 yr old PCP&C Turbo-Cool 1KW started flaking out to the point of odd quick power on/off cycles or no power up at all. Anyways, I'm an admitted fan on Seasonic, but I'm reading some reviews of DOA units and early failures within a few months of service. Possible it's from being so early in production. I understand that any brand can have failures, but I figured I'd get a second opinion. I'm also reading good things of the Super Flower OEM used in EVGA model. I keep flipping back and forth on which to go with, as they're about the same price. Just seeing which OEM people prefer these days and if anyone has models from these series' of PSU.
