Since 2014, when I got into this hobby with my dad, I've only ever used Seasonic PSUs because they are one of the best in the game. My Focus+ Platinum 750W bought in 2017 is still chugging along after all these years!

Super Flower are the manufacturer who makes everyone elses psu's, they only make psu's and they are smart enough to use Japanese capacitors which is important because Chinese capacitors are usually a smaller capacitor in a big capacitor case. I also like EVGA power supplies and really anyone who offers a 10 year warranty on their product is generally reliable.

Why Japanese capacitors is an important requirement, if you look in the 2200milli farad cap there's probably a 600mf.

The image you posted is an outright counterfeit cap design. While not unheard of, they are pretty rare today. It's far more common for Chinese manufacturers to just make the caps with subpar materials (and in this day and age on many brands even that is debatable).

Let me summarise the thread:

None.

Individual products stand out as reliable, but even that's going to have the rare DOA unit, have different specs due to manufacturing changes, or work differently depending on various countries electrical standards (or even just the wiring in your house. USA standards are a mess, with things like optional grounds)

I also throw my 2c behind Super Flower and then Seasonic.

They are the most consistent and persistent.

Andyson seems to make good 1s.

CWT HEC CM make Average units, blue moon make good 1s
I have an Andyson PX 1200W Platinum rated PSU it puts almost any other PSU I own to shame.
Definitely the best PSU, I currently own.

Bought it after reading Johnnygurus review of it back when he was doing that.

Its very likely that EVGA PSU is actually based of a Super Flower Leadex Platform.

EVGA's high numbered G, P, and T lines (G2, G3, P2, and T2) exclusively used Super Flower's Leadex platforms

I just meant price wise compared to my prime :)

That Evga does pretty well, it’s fairly stout.. the Prime is nice too, but is a better fit for my other system..

Seasonic, though and though, had others in the past but been so long now they could be totally different. But Seasonic have given best support ever and fast turn around last time ( RMA ).

As for the extra you pay for them you just wait on a sale, i got my Plat Seasonic 750w for $127.

And it's not all about reliability either, as any thing can fail regardless of quality so it's all so about if it fries your PC when it does fail.

Keep in mind early primes didn't like modern VGA transient spikes.

I have the impression that specific topic title this is incomplete.

When the actual topic tittle this is:
Which PSU maker is the most reliable in customer support within Turkey?



Long story in sort, Seasonic added me in their marketing cycle this summer as Pro blogger.
I had the opportunity to chat with several Seasonic people in private, they are extremely (internally) organized so to help in favor of end-customer satisfaction.
When automated RMA, under warranty this fails for any logical reason.
Water leakage and PSU death, this is not a logical reason.

Now I am totally unaware if Turkey receives Seasonic products from EU, or this gets served directly from Taiwan.

Seasonic it is a safe bet, but you need to talk with the authorized seller in Turkey, we cannot offer any preference or advice, we are unaware of customer support score of individual PSU brands within your country.

After all, if you do contact any brand headquarters, they will advise you to solve the problem with your seller.
My advice, shop whatever you need from the most reputable seller in your own country.

Seasonic are truly excellent and I recommend them to PC builders, but Corsair always seem to create the top dog PSU of them all and the current king is the AX1600i* that I have. Before that, I had the Corsair HX850 v1. Bought this monster PSU back in 2009 and I replaced it not because it had finally failed after 11 years, but to upgrade it. It got killer reviews back then and is still going strong today after being used almost every day all day. I remember one review said that they could pull about a kilowatt out of it before it started to show strain. Amazing quality.

*Yes I know, total overkill and very expensive, but I wanted the best PSU and one with all the monitoring and adjustment features too, so it had to be this one.

Here's a couple of reviews of it:

Kalo vradi,

There is a local Seasonic distributor in Turkey and I even e-mailed them to ask to stock however there were no reply. So I did contact to Seasonic HQ, and they replied in less than 2 hours. In the box, Seasonic says it will provide a full 10 year warranty in Turkey, official distributor declared as two years.

Any case, I'm a Seasonic lover.

Corsair doesn't create anything.
For example, I can order towels from China with my company's logo on them, heck even demand they use the oddly coloured strings for the edge finish, but that doesn't even remotely means that my company created them.

Yes, they get a third party to build them. In the case of my two the manufacturer is Flextronics, but it's got their branding on it and they sell it, so we can still call it a Corsair PSU. AFAIK it's not possible to buy this PSU under any other brand, so it's likely a custom job for them and hence to all intents and purposes Corsair is the manufacturer.

Isn’t that a Seasonic PSU? AFAIK Corsair doesn’t make anything, they just put their name on other peoples stuff?
All true.

But there is a saying … show to me your friends, so I to tell you of whom you are (character quality evaluation).

Modern tactic for any Corsair style of brand, this is successful collaborations with others Real ODM.
Corsair over the years this made lesser mistakes so far, at choosing PSU makers as partners.
Even Seasonic has other best friends in Taiwan, if ever needs to use GAN technology.
Lesson of day for best team play: Choose your friends carefully and dispose fast any one whom starts to demonstrate weaknesses.

The fastest way to lose all of your friends. I guess your team is all made of angels, or such. Sorry for the off-topic.

Kalo vradi,

There is a local Seasonic distributor in Turkey and I even e-mailed them to ask to stock however there were no reply. So I did contact to Seasonic HQ, and they replied in less than 2 hours. In the box, Seasonic says it will provide a full 10 year warranty in Turkey, official distributor declared as two years.

Any case, I'm a Seasonic lover.

Seasonic has 24/24 ready to respond teams, when EU sleeps the USA team this take over.
Retail shops most of times they are extremely busy, give them some time.
48 hours this is a reasonable time limit, if it expires then use the telephone.

The fastest way to lose all of your friends. I guess your team is all made of angels.
The American basket ball this also follows this rule, we are talking here about professional level of collaboration.
Believe it or not, friendships developed due skillful people, they last longer.

I'm just trolling you a bit. :D I figured it's some kind of a corporate philosophy. Anyway, nice to see a polite response for a change. Rare stuff these days.

Not quite, because Corsair has contracted to make that PSU. Otherwise it's the same as saying that since NVIDIA GPUs are physically made by TSMC, that they are TSMC GPUs, which is incorrect.
