Umm I had this same debate not more than a couple weeks ago, I ended up buying the Cougar sx-700 for 100$ shipped with a 20 dollar rebate, but yeah it blew up the 2nd day in my computer. I am currently waiting for the rma..... idk looks pretty though, and solidly built idk
^Statements like this are to be ignored.. aside from the AX line, i can't think of anything else I'd pick from Corsair over SX/GX at similar output&prices..RM_Bulldog said:given same wattage go with Corsair
There are other factors involved when buying a PSU other than performance: Warranty and level of customer support.^Statements like this are to be ignored.. aside from the AX line, i can't think of anything else I'd pick from Corsair over SX/GX at similar output&prices..

While yes some of the Cougar PSUs are of pretty decent quality, Cougar doesn't offer PSUs with warranties longer than three years. Many of Corsair's PSUs have 5 year or even 7 year warranties. To many people that extra 2-4 years of warranty is well worth any small difference in performance and small costs increases.
In addition, there's also the level of customer support that Corsair offers. Many people here in this forums has had good experiences with Corsair's customer support. Not to mention that there is a Corsair rep on this forum that chimes in on time to time as well as help people who have had issues with Corsair products. So while yes Cougar PSUs are sometimes cheaper and of decent enough quality as Corsair, if not better sometimes, the longer warranties and good customer support is well worth the extra cash.
Understood. Most of the people who frequent this forums are from the U.S so I've rarely heard of the European support issues.Nothing to say against the Corsair's after sales support and service, hands down one of the best.. but keep in mind that's pretty much an NA only thing.. in Europe it's a pain to do a direct RMA, avoiding the distribution and retail chain..
So they dops. GX line comes with 5 year warranty
Everything Corsair sells is equal or better than competing Cougar units except perhaps when efficiency is considered.^Statements like this are to be ignored.. aside from the AX line, i can't think of anything else I'd pick from Corsair over SX/GX at similar output&prices..

UK reader here and i have used corsair's RMA process twice now, once for PSU and once for RAM. No problems at all apart from high postage costs, filled out the form on their site, got my RMA number, mailed the stuff and within 2 weeks got my replacement PSU - all the way from california and got an upgrade from my 950tx to a 1000hx in the process
Would i pay the extra, YES, especially for support like that
Have had no prblems returning leadtek gear to taiwan either
