QUOTE(TristanX @ Apr 10 2017, 10:14 AM) Comparing with different wattage is not proper comparison. Obviously Enermax is better. What I mean is in term on quality and realibilty. I just find out that Silverstone Strider Essential has 600 watt version. I plan to buy thats enermax but some forumer above said theirs enermax only last 2 year.

What is your budget anyway?

Most shops covers only 1 year. You have to pay for service charge. Yeah, you might wanna go directly to the distributor.

I've made an RMA ticket via corsair.secure.force.com. Corsair rep told me NOT to send the psu to my local distributor, which is Cudo. Must send direct to Taiwan. I guess poslaju the psu to Taiwan will be about RM100 due to the heavy weight goldfriesHow? This post has been edited by Skylinestar: Apr 17 2017, 04:55 PM

Yeah normally they will prefer you to send to dealer first.  At least no need send to Taiwan.

Depends on quality it use @@ i got a enermax liberty gold 400w which actually can load to 500w, it's last very long time for 24/7 from 2006 to 2013 until i sell out due to oc my g3258 to 4.3ghz failure and i exchange to seasonic g550, but later found out its actually just my cpu unit bad lucks in lottery. I rem the unit was very good rating and should be tier 1 or 2 at that time, i suspect the electronic component + pcb design used to build the psu will effect its lifespan. But after golden unit liberty, enermax product always drop at below tier 3, nearly these years, just got a few unit with good rating. This post has been edited by eDwanD: Apr 27 2017, 12:02 AM

To actually test a PSU requires professional. You can always bring your rig to the shop and let them test for you.
