[SOLVED] are all Seasonic good?

[Tac 25]

Hi, my two active pc both use Seasonic GC 550 80+ Gold. The psu has been working fine so far.

Now, I'm planning to revive another broken pc at home. But the problem is, the shop where I got the Seasonic 550 have run out of stock..

my question is.. are all Seasonic good? If yes, then I'll just get whatever Seasonic is available in the shop that is 400w and above capacity.

Seasonic S12III models are considered inferior.
GC models are fine.

No not all Seasonic are good just like with other brands. Most brands have great, good and worse psu's. A list with a ranking of psu's,

SeaSonic is no different than any other power supply manufacturer, and they make both lower end units that should be avoided as well as some very good units.

For example something like a SeaSonic A12 should be avoided.

It's about specific models. This one may be decent, but there are no reviews on it so we don't really know that. There could be something better from other brands.

thanks everyone for the information. I have a clearer idea what to get now.

did you post a link? I can't see what model you're referring to.

To broaden your horizon besides Seasonic only,

Think the Antec is based on one of the Seasonic Focus platforms. Can see if these are available.

I did not, as i don't know where are you buying from, what are you planning to power with it and what's your budget for the PSU, so it's hard to recommend anything specific, it would be a long list. But generally speaking there's a PSU tier list, my recommendations are pretty much already reflected there.
