EVGA GA Series? https://www.plugloadsolutions.com/80...id=1295&type=2 sort by date certified, 550-850w gold units. Why am I not surprised they're releasing more series...

I sure hope their antics don't put every supplier out of business.

Why? Is this business with having an infinite number of series actually having some success?

EVGA showed them already at the Computex this year, they're made by Andyson.

By "supplier" I meant "factory". The actual "supplier".

Some brands are big enough to offer tantalizing forecast for PSU orders that suppliers are willing to gamble on without getting paid beforehand. If sales are great, then suppliers get paid eventually. But if sales are slow, then they don't get paid on time for parts they pre-purchased to produce those PSUs (or even worse if they've already assembled everything) and may run into financial troubles. The big suppliers can handle these hiccups (or antics), but the smaller ones can't.

Correct. And Andyson just dumped a bunch of money into their factory. I'd hate to think of them getting stood up with all of the different products they're pushing out now.

Antec Signature series refresh, referencing Seasonic Prime Platinum certificates.

Signature w/o 80mm fan ain't real Signatures..

Double PCB layout would be nice too but those might be dead...
