Segotep

[Forleb]

They're rated alright on the tier list, and have decent pricing over on Newegg, as well as promising reviews - are there any experienced electricians here that have dealt with these units before? They boast impressive protection engineering and all that, but if somebody here knows that the hardware simply isn't that good, I'd be glad to here your findings.

Their product description pages are wrong. Segotep SG-G lineup (or listed as GP-G) does not feature OTP either through supervisor IC or an auxiliary pin upon closer inspection. It may have a pin for it on the fan controller, but in two separate 20 minute hotbox test on the 600w unit for $50 (minimal load), it reached 150-160C on the secondary side heatsink / transformer without shutting down. They also use a true Rifle bearing fan instead of the claimed FDB. Whether or not there is a electrical or platform difference between Full Modular and Non-Modular product listings is unknown beyond 2018.

Link? 

 

600w?  So it's a completely different model series then what OP is asking about?

Here. If components list is wrong, I can open an unit I have lying around. Same platform as Platimax DF 500/600w

The product pages say GP-G and eastern review models have GP-G boxes and branding, but Newegg and Amazon both have SG-G in their promotional pictures and only send units with those serial numbers. Internally, platforms are the same. But full vs non-modular besides moving in a modular cable board with some FPCAPs, I have no idea.

Here's one that is pretty recent, looks similar eh?

Pretty sure they're different.
