I doubt the HX 620 will die anytime soon. I have a HX520 that's been running for 4 years+. Rock solid so far. Just consider the fact some psus have 7 year warranties. The expectation is that they should last at least that long if they're built with high enough quality components. Either way...

I just got the 760 recently from the $100 sale. It's near silent with no sign of coil noise. Purely awesome psu imho, can't beat the complete top of the line for your system. :D

That's a really easy choice, go with the Seasonic X-760, it's simply a more modern and higher quality platform that is more efficient and higher stability. In the end it's older seasonic (the XFX) vs newer seasonic. What would you pick? And almost nobody needs more than 760w unless you're going...

So what happens when this psu dies in a year from poor build quality? You do realize people want reliable and functional psus that do not risk getting out of their tolerance ranges. Like if it's only .01v from going out of spec on a rail, would you feel safe? I sure wouldn't. Just one blip in a...

Yep, still using my 520HX right now. Awesome psu, should last you a minimum of 5+ years if not longer. I am tempted to switch to a gold/platinum efficiency psu with an even quieter fan for my next build though, but certainly not required.

Can you explain who makes up the design team for AMD now? (It seems this has greatly changed from the amazing Athlon days)

Easy to say. High Quality Top of the Market Products at generally reasonable prices. And almost no duds. I have trouble thinking of any other psu company I'd pick before Seasonic.

Uh I don't get this at all. The CX600v2 is a perfectly good unit that does everything within spec. I'd use it in a million budget builds that don't care about max psu quality. Also I don't care at all about the fact the 600w rating is kinda useless. I never build machines that use more than 300w...

Meh the proof is in the pudding. Also even if they actually come out with something good, I'm more than satisfied with seasonic, corsair, and antec anyways. It'll take a long time for them to win me over, that's for sure.

I think you completely misread my comment. I said that the 2100t is probably FASTER than the HD 4350.

You guys just need to agree to disagree. But honestly I find it really sad that PC Power makes a comeback using 4 year old Seasonic Models. Is that really supposed to be a comeback? If you're going to be a supposed top of the line psu maker, shouldn't you have 80plus gold/platinum psus with...

I didn't get any of this thread. If you wanted a gaming system you certainly wouldn't use a ISK100. Also you wouldn't use a 4350. Also the 2100T's graphics is probably fast or faster than a 4350. There's like...nothing logical anywhere here to be honest. ;) Sorry man, I'd say what you'd more...

I am rather partial to the superflower golden greens also myself now. It's a pretty sexy platform indeed :) Also erek with your absolutely ridiculous need for the "best", you lose the whole point of getting a psu at the right price, right size, right efficiency, right dc. Right is better than...

Really old news. I thought we were long past this. Let's get to existing psus that are [H]ard instead.

What's depressing isn't even the terrible marketing people who came up with this. It's the fact they still sell really crappy psus. There's a difference between a budget psu like Earthwatts/CX and just crap. If coolermaster really wanted to be serious about the psu market, they'd EOL all the...
