Moxylite @S58_is_the_goat "will this also fry your cpu?:) Luckily, Asrock doesn't actually make it. It's a Rebrand of some other manufacturer, but they won't exactly say which one.:rolleyes: That said, Seasonic or Corsair for me, all day long(y) Reply
Alvar "Miles" Udell Once upon a time TomsHardware would publish the lists of the OEMs of all the popular brands of PSUs, but they haven't updated it in…10 years. Reply

To borrow a graphic from their last article below (Yellow = OEMs, orange = design but don't build, grey = rebadge only), if a PSU has a UL number of E104405, for example, it was built by SeaSonic, even if it carries a Corsair badge, though many that either design or just rebadge will use different manufacturers for different specs since there's no need for a top tier OEM like SeaSonic for your Value series models that'll only be used in low end machines. In 2025 in the age of AI assistants it's orders of magnitude easier even for the very novice user. For example, asking Copilot about this (in Search mode) brings up the following, which means that this unit is quite likely reliable, especially if you're in the RTX 5070 or even 5080 area where you're going to be hovering around half load peak and something I'd consider recommending if the person wanted something in a "budget performer", though personally SeaSonic is the only thing that's going to grace my system. The AsRock SL-1000G power supply, what is its OEM based on its UL number? The OEM for the ASRock SL-1000G power supply is likely Channel Well Technology (CWT), based on its UL number E186014. Here's the breakdown: 🔍 UL Number and OEM Identification UL Number: E186014 This UL file number is registered to Channel Well Technology (CWT), a well-known OEM that manufactures power supplies for many brands including Corsair, Thermaltake, and others. Does AsRock design this PSU or do they just rebadge an existing unit? ASRock does not design the SL-1000G power supply from scratch; it is a rebadged unit manufactured by Channel Well Technology (CWT), a well-established OEM. https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/5z5s4hwd4jx2qu8cK6WBZW-589-80.png.webp Reply
Amdlova Got one Super flower Gold with semi passive Desing super cheap only uses 1/4 rated power. Long time ago only have Seasonic PSU, but in my country they have gold price. And they don't last in stock… A used one almost have same price of a brand new PSU. Even in Third World Country the people know how good is to get a Seasonic PSU Reply

Any PSU that carries a Cybenetics rating will have an entry on their website of the test which includes the OEM. In this case it's HEC: https://www.cybenetics.com/evaluations/psus/2542/ Reply
