Hi Sujith,
How are you today?
No worry about the warranty issue, please just tell us the serial number on the S12D-850, Seasonic HQ will make a record and provide you warranty 5 years.
If your psu has any problem after 3 years, please advise us directly, we will courier new psu to you. If we have dropped this model, we will provide you the close 850W psu for the replacement.
Warm regards,

^Excellent. What more do you want! They haven't made a mention of sending the older unit to them should something happen later. Buy the Seasonic.

PS: I have dropped them a mail as well. Will post the response here as I receive it. :)

EDIT: Saw the response. Actually shipping a faulty unit would not be all that expensive using Registered Post/Speed Post. Anyhow taking a risk isn't advisable. Seems like Corsair is the only choice now.

^That was me. A pair of G.Skill sticks to Taiwan for 183 INR (damn I still recall that figure!). Reached them safe. :)

Dude hold on for a while. Chan mentioned this when I enquired about the warranty for M12D unit:

Absolutely the warranty for M12D-850 is 5 years, our India sole distributor Tirupati will provide the excellent RMA service to you. If your psu have any problem, please don’t hesitate to contact them. After they test the returned psu, if the psu is defective, we will courier the new PSU to you directly.

I have asked him if the same holds good for the S12D unit as well. If that's the case, you can go with the Seasonic unit IMO.

EDIT: This just in from Chan! :eek:hyeah:

Yes, both of S12D & M12D enjoy 5 year warranty. We will cooperate with Tirupati to provide RMA service absolutely.

Sujith, grab the Seasonic unit.

@sorcy: What would be cheapest AX and for how much? I am planning to go 6950 on the first rig in my sig. So planning a beefier PSU than the vx450 was almost sold on the s12-d 750 till I saw this thread.

Seems I m out of patience,,,will go for the Corsair ,,,,and I have had good experiences with Corsair RMA ( Kaizen ) rather than with Tirupati when I had RMAed by Palit 4850 ...

Yesterday I called up Tirupati just to confirm how much is the warranty frame for the MSI Graphic cards,,,,he told me that they don't RMA MSI cards...u have to rma with MSI Directly,,,,

I was like :S

By the way whats the price of AX750??
