Do you want to know if there is a difference between these two PSUs?
I reside in Finland and mostly purchase components from a shop named multitronic. I currently own a Corsair vs650(grey) and was considering upgrading my GPU and CPU. I checked a PSU tierlist (https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/) and found it recommended a good PSU, but upon visiting the store, I noticed two different models available. I’m curious if there’s any distinction between these versions. My current PSU is CP-9020172-EU, and I have more details about it. The PSUs I’m interested in are 100-GD-0700-V2 and 100-GD-0700-V1.
I would really consider the Seasonic g12, but the EVGA PSUs aren't quite as good as the ones from Seasonic. I've had time to test Cougar's products and seen many PSUs from that brand fail. I'm not familiar with Kolink, but I trust EVGA and Seasonic more.
Regarding the difference between the two EVGA units, it's minimal. The internal components might vary slightly for the v2 models, but they usually remain of similar quality.
other power supplies that came to mind include:

It seems there are three (3) versions available. There is a detailed article from 2022 comparing the GD 600W R3, R1, and B1 models. The information mentions three distinct EVGA GD 600W Teardown entries under the names 100-GD-0700-V1, 100-GD-0700-V2, and 100-GD-0700-V3. It also notes that the V1, V2, and V3 might be minor variations from the same supplier.
