SeaSonic G Series SSR-550RM 550W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready
SeaSonic G Series SSR-550RM 550W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Pros: None

Cons: I had purchased this PSU for a new system build and from the start I was experiencing random Blue screens and system freezes. I had tested this unit with a power supply tester and all voltages were good. I adjusted every voltage setting in the Bios, swapped video card, sound card + drivers, ran memtest numerous times. I decided to swap out with an old 500w OCZ PSU, Solved! No more BSOD and system freezes. The RMA process for Seasonic makes you pay to ship back and they will charge you $38 if they do not find anything wrong. After three months of hell, no way. I will never deal with this company again.

Overall Review: It would of been so much better if this thing was DOA, quick fix. Thanks to Toms Hardware I can find out which companies seasonic manufacturers PSU's for and avoid.
