Seasonic. They make most (not all) of the actual PSUs that other manufacturers buy and mark with their logo (effectively).

Companies like Delta Electronics, Etasis, Flextronics, Zippy, etc. For consumer desktop PSU, I say Antec HCP Platinum (Delta), Corsair AXi (Flextronics), Seasonic XM2/XP3 (Cooler Master V1200)... to name a few.

@Flight1sim @Thebman712 @Enderman @CCap @CJPowell27 @Vitalius @Hyp0xia @Valhallatier @WyvernAbstracts Read Quan289's post in this thread. Corsair doesn't make power supplies, they get them made by CWT and Seasonic, Flextronics for the AXi series, and a couple of RM series units by Chicony. Antec has a couple of Delta made units. XFX rebadges Seasonic units. etc.

 

Seasonic is one of the better known consumer grade PSU manufacturers. In that regard, they're one of the best. However, manufacturers like Delta, Etasis and Flextronics are superior but you don't see many of their power supplies as they exist mainly in the server market. In servers, Delta is pretty much the best manufacturer right now, but you won't find many consumer grade units from them.

Corsair isn't awesome for making good power supplies. They're awesome for rebranding them at a reasonable price (disagree if you like), giving top notch customer service and technical support, and for mostly rebranding good power supplies. For example, XFX only rebrands quality Seasonic units, but Cooler Master rebrands some good and some bad. Their lower end units are garbage.

Seasonic.

 

But, amongst other things like warranty, customer service, the actual components, 80 Plus rating, what jonnyguru thinks of it, I'd also base my "which PSU to buy?" question on the included cables. I can't stand non-black cables.

 

So all things considered, I would say Corsair AX series is my PSU of choice (or RM series for lower cost), even though they don't make their own PSUs.

Phillips 328P6VUBREB, Corsair Vengeance K95 RGB Cherry MX Brown, Logitech G502 X Plus, Sennheiser HD700.

 

AYANEO 2S: AMD 7800U, 32GB 7500MHz, 2TB WD SN850X. Windows 11.
