artic cooling sentium case with power supply problem?
- Thread starter rippling

I very much doubt it. There was probably changeover period when the guy who orders the card for the boxes ran down his stocks of 350W boxes so they only had the 450W boxes but they were still building with the 350W PSU. They probably had a meeting about it where the Technical/Compliance Manager said "That's dodgy, we'll only get complaints - and possibly prosecuted" and the Production Manager said - "Nah - the customers are all stupid, they'll never spot the difference, it's a commercial decision and we're shipping them". Not that that's ever happened in any factory I've ever worked in, you understand 
OR
You bought a return where some smarty-pants had a 350W, then bought a 450W, swapped them over and then returned the new one with the 350W PSU in it. That happens far more often than you would like to think about. Was it a B-Grade or Clearance item if you don't mind me asking?

no brand new , but just found out it is rated at 350w continuios and 450 watt max ! it is a seasonic psu
I would still send it back. It's extremely unusual for a PSU to be marked with it's continuous rating. Most 600W PSU's are actually 480W continuous, but they are marked up as 600W for marketing reasons. Unless it says 450W anywhere on the PSU, I'd send it back.
Seasonic are strong power supplies, and what they have told you about the 20-pin plug is basically true, but I don't think you're that happy in yourself and you should be.
