New PSU??

[Goldsmack]

So I'm finally getting around to replacing my terrible old ULTRA lsp 550w PSU, I am in the middle of a few "tweaks" to my PC witch include a Corsair H75 aoi water cooler and a new case with extra 120mm fans, make a long story short with the cpu overclocked and the gpu overclocked I think iv reached the limit of this PSU and am looking at a new one. I don't really want to spend over $100cnd but I want the best PSU I can get and found this.

 

SeaSonic M12II EVO 620w

I know/heard SeaSonic is a reputable company and its got everything I'm looking for including being modular. I just wanted a second opinion on this before I pull the trigger. I feel like Im playing the lottery with me crap psu and I feel like it could catch fire or burn out all my new parts :cry:

 

Cheers!

 

PS: the name says SeaSonic M12II but the picture is the newer SeaSonic M12II EVO and the EVO is the one I want, I may call them up to double check.

Seasonic is a good brand and I had the original M12 PSU many years ago which served me well with my old Core 2 Duo rig. I can't see anything wrong with your choice. And yes having a decent PSU in particular when overclocking components helps.

FYI: Corsair AXi series now has a 10 year warranty

Seasonic are the best.

AFAIK all but 1 model from the Corsair AXi is made by them ( Seasonic ).

 

edit* wrong: made by flextronic but one..other way round.

Excellent, thanks for the feedback guys.

Have been using XFX, which is Seasonic's "budget" line, for 2 years. The budget corners were cut on cooling solution in this 650W unit (which is damn loud for a PSU, my only gripe with it), but internals are all Seasonic and I have to say it's been pulling my OC'ed rig nicely and rock solid. I think You'll not be disappointed.

Thanks Art dB shouldn't be much of a problem, I already have what I believe to be the first genuine Turbofans for a PC, cooler masters jetflo120 they seem to drown out everything else...but boy to they work good :thumbup:
