because they used Seasonic power supplies, which is the OEM builder of the Corsair PSUs that I had connected to the KnC that died and it was the Platinum rated PSUs as well. When I said that he was saying that it was most likely that I may have used a PSU that was not superior to theirs but when I said that Seasonic BUILDS the Corsair PSUs he did not even know that was the case
SeaSonic doesn't build all of Corsair's PSU. It also changes from year to year. The only way to know for sure is to lookup the UL code or look for SeaSonic mark on the transformer (requires opening the PSU).
