Completely wrong, that's why their reputation is different because the odds of getting a dud aren't the same between all brands. Corsair unfortunately has had a lot more mishaps hence have a lower reputation. It's very simple.
With all big hype fashion brands like precisely Corsair selling lots of standard cheapos and mediocrities with brand sticker also Seasonic wanted to jump aboard that train.
S12 III is made by outside factory and has quality clearly below previous S12 II, which itself was very outdated low end PSU.
And G12 GC is in same segment of product list on Seasonic's site and with same basic warranty.
Neither there's any look inside in product pics, so would expect similar step down in quality of components.
That 80+ Gold efficiency simply doesn't guarantee good quality.
