What are these rated at? The info on Seasonics site seemed ambiguous and the reviews I found didn't seem to mention this. I think it's 40c, but just wanted to check with you guys. Picked up a 430W since there was a 40% rebate on it, couldn't stop myself. :o

Nope, it is 40C. Their site states, the rating will go from 100% at 40C to 80% at 50C.

Going by all other Seasonics reviewed though, the rating is conservative, and they usually do full power at 50C.

Mhm, figgered as much, I guess the sentence about 40->50C derating didn't present itself as too obvious to me. Thanks for clearing it up. :)
