Are all Antec NeoNEs rebadged Seasonics?

Title and summary.

Thanks!

I don't think any are born Seasonic. Antec is known for rebadging Channel Well and Fortron/Sparkle

Yes but when they were opened up, low quality fuhjyyu caps were found to be used. The components may have improved since but I'd rather use another brand than take a chance with Antec.

They are designed and built on a seasonic PCB, but i've heard they use cheap caps.

True, true, true. The result of cheap caps is a less reliable PSU. But I think CWT is the OEM, at least recently.

They can have several OEMs at once. The NeoHE is the only antec line i'd consider using myself.

Yes, the NeoHEs are pretty good. But what about the Atlas line? Better then the NeoHEs.

The NeoHE series, afaik, is built by Seasonic to Antec's price point. The newest units *might* have all the larger caps sourced out of Nippon. All thier lesser units are built by CWT and still use Fuhjyyu caps(craps).
Fuhjyyu can live awhile but they must not be run hot or they have very short lives.

Corsair PSUs are built by Seasonic. They seem to be on the M12 platform w/o the 60mm aux intake fan. The Corsair units have reviewed very well indeed. I haven't seen pics of an open M12 to compare to a Corsair.

I have heard that Antec told Seasonic, if you start building for any others...we will take our business elsewhere...Yep! Antec is a big player and could/would do it. They have $queezed CWT 😀
