Why Seasonic is considered a sketchy company by some of you?

[AlexQC]

Never owned one of their PSUs but in the past year with the comments of Linus on LTT videos, I was thinking they were a really good PSU company but on recent post I made here I got several comments that they were sketch and don't know why and now I'm curious. Are they a good company or not? Is it just marketing or their PSU are sketch too?

Their communication with users is pretty bad.

 

They have lied before about their temperature rating. They claim 50C, but as soon as the psu hits 80% load, the psu rating drop to 40C, which is lying.

 

They have had problems  with high transient gpus such as rtx 3000, rx 6000 and amd VEGA, and some of their models still do, for example their "prime" series which is supposed to be high end. And the real problem here is that they never announced the problem, they knew the problem when the AMD VEGA first launced YEARS ago, and still have not fully fixed the problem.

 

Also their price/performance ration atleast in Europe and US is pretty bad, it could be decent on more rural areas.

 

They are also pretty loud for the price of them.

 

Atleast they have seem to fix the transient issue on their "focus" series according to reviews, but their "prime" series still seems to have those issues. 

 

To sum all up, Seasonic is bad communicator, who lie about their psu's ratings, and overprice their units and do not want to fix known problems.
