I`ve had to swap out my Seasonic 860w PSU for my old Corsair HX-750 whilst it is sent for a RMA.
I noticed I was getting whea_uncorrectable_error/BSOD with m y 4.5ghz OC which was fine with the Seasonic. Ive has to increase vcore from 1.36 to 1.38 and imc from 1.15 to 1.2 to remedy this.
Juat goes to show how important a PSU is! The Corsair is still doing a grand job and may even leave it in there!
 
6 yrs old with around 2 yrs use so plenty life in it yet. The point I was making is the Seasonic is prob supplying a `cleaner` current resulting in a lower voltage needed for the same OC compared to the Corsair.
Anyway I stand by Corsair and have since bought an AX-760i as Seasonic wanted me to return the unit to Germany with me footing the postage. I`ve binned the Seasonic.
