Yes you can if you buy a Seasonic branded Seasonic. The EVGA Supernova G6 branded Seasonic is better and it's cheaper so go for that or one of the Corsairs.

The Seasonic S12III would disagree with that statement. That PSU is pretty bad (it's missing a lot of protections found on new PSUs) and there are other options that cost less that are just as good, if not better.
