I guess this would just be bad publicity for these psu,
and this might hurt sponsors etc...
Why not just stick to the recommended list ?

@xan_user

why not go pico?

ok, then he must indicate what is the wattage he needs.

hi versuviusx,
here's the list of top sellers, sorted by decreasing rating at newegg , here.

And here's the list of recommended power supply at spcr.

Now compare both list, and the safest bet appears to be the corsair 620hx.

good luck

I don't understand why so many user have AMD CPU , here.

At http://enthusiast.hardocp.com the corsair hx620w got a gold award while the enermax modu82 625w got a s...

you do not need 400W.

well that's what the psu calculator says.
With a capacitor aging of 30%...
Two hard drives.

I can hardly believe that my system draw only 200W...

no opinion ?

hi, I'm not very satisfied by the noise made by my system. It makes a slight high pitched sound , but I don't think it's a dysfunction (too low).
