Need info on this PSU

[TheMidnightNarwhal]

Hello, so I was checking prices comparaison for my PSU (Seasonic G series 650W) and I saw reviews, quite alot for me (like 10) about DOA. What should I do, should I still buy it or get another Seasonic series or even go for another brand? I don't want higher than 130$ and want it Semi-modular, 650w. Thanks!

Seasonic will honor the DOA and replace it. There PSUs have a 5 year warranty.

 

If you want a different PSU that's up to you, I just wouldn't let a few bad eggs ruin it for you.

Yeah I know the 5 year warranty, thats the reason why I am going with them But yeah I just wanted to start as soon as I had my shiped order and if it's DOA well... it'l take more time, you know how manny, aproximate?

These are good choices but they are only under $130 after MIR. But I would personally go with the power supply that you chose because it is cheaper than these and it is great.

I would say well under 1%...

 

I do not have actual statistics but, seasonic are among the top Power Supply Manufacturers and have a rather in depth QA test.

 

Both the power supplies @mgsstar linked to above are also very high quality.

 

Chances of getting a DOA item are fairly rare but, they do happen. In my last personal build my RAM was DOA. Only time it has ever happened to me in my 5+ builds.

I believe that Seasonic is an actual manufacturer of PSUs, so the failure rate should be quite low.

 

Don't take the reviews on shopping sites too seriously.

I'd rather take the newer higher effiency http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151121 in that prize range. But the g-650 is also a valid choice if the OP doesn't want to go over 130$

I changed my mind, made another post about and was wondering about this one. Slack on gold for bronze, and get 100w more for only 10$, staying with the awesome Seasonic company. http://ncix.ca/products/?sku=66286&vpn=SS-750AM&manufacture=Seasonic%20Electronics What you guys think?

That's a good psu but I don't know what system you're planning to run with it.
