Guessing @dirtyferret hasn't seen much on it either ?
Aris reviewed the 750w version and gave it a good review. The 850w pushes the platform a little more but still favorable. It's not competitive with the best out there but its still good and at a good price i would certainly recommend it although not the biggest fan of the OEM.

Because Seasonic it did share with me of their actual DOA stats, and they are for my eyes only.

Kalimera,

Do you think I should choose Evga Ga series because there is no Seasonic 850w psu at the moment?

Back in the day lots of people used Antec Psu.s i had a couple One of the very popular Antec trio power i thinm it was 500 or 550w. Back when the 12v rails started to split from 1 to two and three rails.

Right now im using an EVGA Supernova G2 750.. that ive had 4-5 years.. back when i built my x470 2700x and 1080ti 16gb g.skill memory. Ive since upgraded to a x570 3800x 3 years ago.. and now a 5800x 3d 32gb of ram. And a 6900xt.

Still have no issues with the pau

I have much greater understanding of market and technology in contrast to my medium skills at about typing text in English.
I did also read and all other posts in this topic, relative along non-relative to the topic ones.

The very sort version of the story, the ones influenced in favor of Antec & EVGA, they are Americans and or western hemisphere residents.
At the recorded history of how and when significant Asian PSU manufacturer, decided to expand and connect with the western world, everything started at 2002 and 2003.
CWT factory invaded at the USA at 2002 :) While Seasonic did that at 2003 :)

The east frontier of the western world this is now Greece, 3000 years ago it was the center (this is another story).
At the side of newborn USA, due the fact that they are at a number of 300 million of souls, many Asian brand they did and still do, a much higher spending of their advertising budged, than what they did at other locations within the western world.
First PSU products of quality, at my region, these shown from HEC (Taiwan) at the year 2001, and from Hiper gaming series PSU (UK brand) at 2007.

From my point of view, the payment for a new PSU purchase, this is also an award that I do deliver at the BEST engineering of its decade.
This is of what we buy when shopping electronics, new engineering, built quality along warranty.

I do consider my self as industry insider, I have won significant amount trust, because I can keep my mouth closed regarding sensitive information's.

I don't know what the quality of EVGA PSUs are today but I would look for a review from @crmaris if you can find one. He has the equipment, knowledge and experience to test PSUs properly. When I got my current EVGA Supernova Gold about 6 years ago the review on jonnyguru had nothing but good things to say about it. Final score 9.9 out of 10. Japanese caps. 10 year warranty. It's definitely a high quality unit. Too bad that jonnyguru's site isn't still up. It was an excellent source for PSU reviews.
This one seems to do a pretty good job? https://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/PSUReviewDatabase.html

Well I decided to buy Seasonic 750W since it is the only model left in stock. Wish me luck because I really doubt that it could feed my power hungry 3080 and Ryzen 9 3900x :)

I know it's not a 1:1 comparison, but I have a Seasonic 850W Platinum that fed my 9900K @ 5.1 GHz, watercooling stuff, and a RTX 3080, and is now feeding the same system with a RTX 4080 now.

Assuming the 4000 series power consumption is higher than the previous, I reckon 750 would be enough for me. Or I wish :D

not really, for some brands sure. Some brands do in-house design, work with their manufacturer and outside companies like Cybenetics. Some brands manufacture the PSU in-house. Some brands have test lab(s) for QC. Some brands work with their manufacturers for QA. Some brands just have a set manufacturing cost and pick a unit from the OEM catalog and don't care about strict parts approval lists. Some brands will use unscrupulous manufactures that will change parts after the first run.

And if none of that matters to you personally at the very least some brands have better customer service than others. So if the PSU does go belly up, some will replace it at no cost or send you a laterst and greatest version. Some will make you pay for shipping back and forth even it it's to another country which can cost as much as a new PSU. Some may get your old PSU and state, it's your fault it doesn't work and now you are out a PSU and shipping costs.

Check the specific model against the list linked in post #2.
that list has its flaws, it's certainly not the end all to be all for PSU.

It can, as long as it's not one of the faulty revisions which has issues with ampere. They are mostly gone now though.

I'm running my 3090ti + 5950x off an EVGA Supernova T2 850W (Superflower design) FWIW.

Keyboard Corsair K68
Software Windows 11 Pro
I've been sticking with Seasonic if I have the budget, otherwise Corsair. I can't recall in the last 25 years that I've had a Power Supply fail on me where I didn't earn it. (forgot to toggle the 240/120 switch one time, doH!)

I just fired up a PC Power & Cooling - An OCZ Brand, that I bought in like 2009 ish. It's running a 5800X/6700XT rig now, after 10-12 years of pushing a Core 2 Quad Q6600 (i think) at an 800Mhz OC.

For me, having to figure out which power supply is best is beyond my patience or ability; so, I get lazy and just fix what I already have on the grounds that if I can replace what is broken with a superior piece, I will have better reliability. In practice all I do is recap the supply and oil the fan, but I pick the very best low ESR capacitors I can find.

If one secondary capacitor is gone, I replace them all.

Aris keeps a list of the "best" on his web sites and posts modified versions of the list on Toms's and PCgamer so it's not the most difficult thing to find. Also, we need to stop using "best" and start using "quality and capable". There are many quality and capable units out there. We are talking about PSU not rockets to enter outer space, no secret sauce one manufacturer has over others.

That is fantastic! One thing I will say about your image, there is nor real definition of what a Japanese cap is and not all caps are rated the same even from the same manufacturer.

True, the image was just for entertainment and possibly deceptive as I tend not to replace the primary capacitors.
