Re: [Parts Check] 850 watt PSU

Here I thought Corsairs were decent PSU's. I wonder what the was the reason it went poof, you did have surge protection on it correct?

I would personally go with either the Seasonic or the Corsair.

Isn't that obvious? Not all Corsair power supplies are created equal and some are just average/crap units that people are willing to pay more than what they are really worth. The TX series totally suck in my book. They seem to have a pretty high failure rate and they also have compatibility issues with some video cards (inability to power them up during POST).

I haven't bought a PSU since the Core Duo days, so I wouldn't know.
