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.

If you want more reliability, you have to spend more. The inside determines roughly how long it can last. What is your budget anyway?

AllIT will deal with the warranty although the item is more than 1 year? Or do I have to deal with Cudo (local Corsair distributor)?
Any extra charges?

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 bye.gif

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.

Borrow a 300W+ PSU and test your PC. To actually test a PSU requires professional. You can always bring your rig to the shop and let them test for you.
