SeaSonic Power Supplies Ready for Intel Haswell
SeaSonic Electronics congratulates Intel on the launch of the Haswell Processors. We are inspired by the continuing efforts made by Intel to push the boundaries of performance and at the same time, be environmentally conscious through reduction of energy consumption. These are the exact same attributes which have driven Sea Sonic for the past 35+ years.
As we strive for industry leading performance, we continue to research the long term effects of each of our design. By continuously improving our efficiency we try to achieve maximum energy savings and by using high quality components we aim to prolong product lifetime; all to achieve long term sustainability. Our full lines of 80 PLUS Platinum and Gold power supplies have been designed to be ready to meet Haswell's new technical requirements!
The ultra efficient Platinum series, which also includes the industry leading true fanless models, and our long running, award winning X Series, which is now supported by the 80 PLUS Gold G series - are all Haswell READY! In addition, our 80 PLUS Bronze line up, consisting of the M12II-750 & 850W models, is also compatible to be used with Intel's new Haswell Processors.

Unless somebody desperately wants power saving features to save a couple of bucks here and there, and a few percent performance increase, there really is little point in upgrading unless your chip is pretty damn outdated.
Plus theres some serious competition with new gen motherboards so some nice features like thunderbolt, 802/ac and quality motherboard audio.
Looking at the large range from Asus, Asrock etc, they must have faith in the platform. If Haswell overclocks to 5GHz+ plenty will want it just for that.
Not sure what all the wailing is about anyhow. C6 has been a staple of Intel CPU's since LGA 1366, and C7 is featured in the BIOS of some motherboards - RIVE for example
As far as Haswell's dumbarse power requirements... You will need to manually disable C6/C7 power states in the BIOS if your PSU doesn't support Intel's ignorance. Otherwise you will be SOL.
