Seasonic RMA Logic: “Destroy the only cable that powers your PC… then send us a picture of it.” Seriously?

I think I’ve just discovered the final boss of bad RMA policies.

Seasonic wants me to cut the only cable that powers my GPU before they’ll ship a replacement. Not return it. Not troubleshoot it.

Nope, destroy it first, then magically keep using my PC to send them proof.

I pointed out the obvious.

Cutting the cable = my PC doesn’t turn on = I can’t send the picture they’re demanding.

Their response?

Copy paste policy. Again. And again. And again.

It’s like arguing with a brick wall that has a Seasonic logo on it.

I asked for a practical solution (ship the replacement first, or literally any verification method that doesn’t require me to disable my system).

They just repeated the same script about “confirming it won’t be used anymore,” as if I’m secretly running a black market cable operation out of my basement.

So right now the official Seasonic RMA process is...

  • Destroy your hardware.
  • Lose the ability to communicate with us.
  • ???
  • Trust us bro, we’ll ship something eventually.

Has anyone else dealt with this circus?

Because this feels less like an RMA and more like a puzzle designed by someone who has never seen a computer before.

Peak policy design. Truly inspirational.

question about AC cable for Seasonic PSU (C19 connector)

Hello, I purchased a Seasonic TX-1600 (ATX 3.0) PSU.

It works fine, but I noticed the AC power cord does not fit snugly / tightly into the socket on the PSU. Rather, it remains relatively loose, and can be pulled out with minimal effort.

I'm hoping this is a problem with the cord itself, as opposed to the socket on the PSU. I emailed Seasonic to request a replacement AC cord, but they responded that they don't have proprietary AC cords and I can just purchase one of my choice with the following specs:

(From their support response:)

"Please note that Seasonic power cords are not proprietary from our brand, thus, you can purchase a third-party cable from any retail shop. For your PSU the required specifications are as follow:

  • Rated for 250V AC
  • Rated for 16A
  • Equipped with a C19 connector"

After doing some research, I've settled on these two cords:

But I want to make sure I'm making the right choice. Will these be appropriate for my Seasonic PSU? Should I look at getter a different cord/brand?

thanks.
