A quote from an article you
A quote from an article you guys posted in January about the SeaSonic Prime series PSU’s, ” Also, all of the Seasonic Prime power supplies will come with a full 10-year (!!) warranty.” So Corsair will not be the only company offering this. The last I knew from my research there are only a hand full of manufacturers that actually build PSU’s. SeaSonic, at the time I looked, was one of the manufacturers building some of Corsair’s PSU’s. Yes I would imagine Corsair does all the design and component sourcing.

Not sure how accurate this is but it’s the only information I can find today about OEM’s for PSU’s,

It would be interesting if you guys could do an article about this and see who actually has a hand in the design, sourcing and manufacturing of PSU’s.
