Seasonic M12 600 or Corsair HX620

[allseeingeye]

Hi I have a P182 case what PSU is beter the "Seasonic M12 600" or "Corsair HX620" the money doesnt matter. Thanks for any advice.

Six one way, half a dozen the other... I'd say buy the Corsair. That way, you end up with a PSU built by SeaSonic, a five year warranty, and 2A more on the 12V rail.

I'd say buy the cheaper one, they're pretty much the same quality standards as the guy above said. And incase you're wondering they output nearly the same current, 48A on the 12V rail for the M12 and 50A on the 12V rail for 620HX. I'd go for Seasonic 'cause I think their sticker looks way better than the Corsair one.

I have the Hx620 and I love it. Best PSU I have ever bought. I have heard Seasonic make them for Corsair so you get Seasonic quality anyway.

5 year warranty can't be beat, get the Corsair.

the corsair is also modular.

They're actually both modular...

Corsair PSU's are manufactured by an OEM: SeaSonic. They're the exact same once you open them up.

but the warranties are different!

If I remember correctly the M-12 series has two fans (120mm + 60mm ??) while the HX620 only has one 120mm fan.

I would go with the HX620 since I like my PCs to be as quiet as possible. Since the Corsair is made by Seasonic, you'll be getting an excellent quality PSU.

Yes! Main reason to go Corsair in this case.

The corsair also has a flatter wire bundle. Great for the P182 and its wire management.

They are not the "EXACT" same. They manufacture it but, we do have our own special touches inside there

Just a bit off topic but it's great to see a manufacturers support guru posting on a hardware site other than their own. It makes me feel all warm inside knowing I bought a Corsair PSU and their staff are dedicated enough to venture outside their normal domain.

Nice work.

Yet another reason to get the Corsair.
