Seasonic = Safesonic

 

I don't know much about Cooler Master PSU's though so this is just coming of knowledge of Seasonic. I've never really used anything made from Cooler Master but I know they're a reputable brand.

Normally I'd say seasonic, but I've seen Linus promote coolermaster's v650 a couple of times in their videos, and I don't believe they'd promote a bad product.

Bear in mind LTT is not really an expert source on PSU quality. While the V-650 is a good unit, I wouldn't recommend something purely on the reason LTT promote them. I believe they've also promoted the Corsair RM series before, which is pretty bad value (not bad, mind you)

Yeah, I just remember them sponsoring it and I don't really got the time to look into the part quality.

Both are top tier, so as said above go with the cheaper one

 

Tier 1 (Best)
Antec - High Current Pro, High Current Platinum, EDGE, TruePower Classic
Be Quiet - Dark Power Pro P10
Corsair - AX, AXi, HXi, RMi
Cooler Master - V-series (fully modular)

Enermax - Platimax
EVGA - G2, P2, GS, PS

Fractal - Newton R3
LEPA - G1600
Seasonic - X, G, S12G, Platinum, Snow Silent

Super Flower - Leadex
XFX - TS Gold, Pro Gold, Pro XXX, XTR

https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/631048-psu-tier-list-updated/ Tier Breakdown (My understanding)--1 Godly, 2 Great, 3 Good, 4 Average, 5 Meh, 6 Bad, 7 Awful

Whichever is cheaper is fine.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
