The EVGA 850 SuperNova GS power supply appears to be identical to the Seasonic X series 850W. The pinouts, power ratings, etc appear to be identical. Does Seasonic manufacture this supply for EVGA?
 
I ask because I have a Seasonic 850W X series in one of my systems that just failed after only 6 months of intermittent use. Prior to this I had Super Micro server supplies in this chassis that have lasted for many years. I only went with the Seasonic due to the modular design and now I am sorry I did. I would like to replace the Seasonic with perhaps an EVGA supply, but I don't want to if the supply is designed and built by Seasonic.
 

Thanks. I have decided to go with a SuperMicro 850W Ablecom unit. It's not fancy, not modular, but in my experience a hell of a lot more reliable. Also fits the proprietary mounting fitment on my 743 SuperMicro chassis. Will be RMA'ing the bad supply to Seasonic and perhaps use it as a back-up but I'm not sure I can trust it for mission critical applications.

That's the second EVGA product I have to ignore.

I'm afraid if you ignore every piece of computer component/manufacturer that has a component go bad or fail on someone then you'll just have an empty space on your desk where a computer would be.

I thought all EVGA PSU manufacturer is Super Flower?

Nope. Some are made by seasonic and hec.

Haha...
 
You need to do some homework, child. I read so many bad reviews about the GS I actually opted for the EVGA 850 P2 Super Flower unit, instead. So no, I won't have an "empty space where a computer would be". I will, hopefully, have a working computer that doesn't turn off after 6 months as many reviews claim, and/or catch fire.
 
Please refrain from disseminating advice. Go be hasty some place else.

This is also a Super Flower build: http://www.jonnyguru.com/...;op=Story&reid=377
Research this unit. Might be a good alternative.
