Seasonic is a well known brand. I did a quick search and didn't find any warning bells, not that I was expecting any (https://tech-legend.com/reviews/seasoni ... -gx-750/3/ & https://linustechtips.com/topic/1124982 ... iewreview/).

When it comes to the case, this is what I found:
Case: Max PSU length 170 mm (https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811353108)
PSU: 140 mm (L) x 150 mm (W) x 86 mm (H) (https://seasonic.com/core-gx#specification)

Thus, in theory, I would assume that it would fit and you would have 30mm free space. However, I was unable to find it on this site (assuming that I chose the right case): https://pcpartpicker.com/products/power ... ith=dyNypg

Recently got two bad Seasonic units (1300 W) in a row. In this Covid era, things aren't what they used to be...

:shock:
Yikes, I guess there's a first time for everything! In that case, make sure you have warranty and that your local supplier have plenty of stock to enable a quick/easy RMA.

"plenty of stock"... ha, ha, ha :lol:

It was the largest supplier in Switzerland: they had two units... So they sent me the second one, and as it was bad too, but still useable up to 800 W, and the resupply was "unknown", I kept it as a reserve and bought something else for the built that was available (Corsair AX1200i, quite good).

Thanks for the heads up and the research, guys. We'll see how it works out. Gotta see if they've even sent it.

Have a great day and stay safe! :)
