Seasonic X Series vs EVGA 850w G2

[shadowr1ku]

Hello Forum!

 

Out of curiosity, what is the difference between these two Power Supplies, excluding warrenty? On PCpartpicker, they are only $1 difference between these two.

 

 

 

Thank you!

I'd go with SeaSonic X-series. Both are VERY solid but my personal preference is for SeaSonic - they've been doing it for longer (about 40 years now).

The G2 is made by Super Flower - and while they are rock-solid as well - I just prefer SeaSonic

SeaSonic will top it out on this one. Especially if it's only $1 more/less for the price range.

I know a lot of people recommend the G2 and for good reason, but I know a lot of people nod at Seasonic. While browsing around on PC partpicker I saw the price difference and wondered what PSU features it offers between haha,

Basically - SeaSonic and Delta are the best OEMs. Super Flower are very good - but SeaSonic and Delta are in a league of their own. I always go with SeaSonic if I can.

The G2 is a fabulous line. From individual benchmarks between those two specific power supplies, it may be hard to tell which evens out in the end. However, EVGA has had trouble in the past with some of their G-Series lines, and I've never heard anything bad ever from a SeaSonic X line, so that's just my rationale. 

G1 are bad - GS and G2 are solid.

SeaSonic haven't had a bad (by bad i mean dangerous for the PC) PSU in a decade

This.

The G2 isn't made by either. There's only 1 buck difference. Decision made.

( The G2s aren't bad, but when they don't have the price advantage, there's no reason to get one )
