Omitted PC Power & Cooling because, according to many experience & comments, they rarely fail.

Excluded other brands (like Corsair and Mushkin) because they are too new to collect a large number of votes.

Excluded others simply because didn't think they were as popular.

Voted for thermaltake

Used 3 months and it's dead because of no reason.
Used a 600watts true powered Thermaltake PSU, in a Pentium 4 with little hardware, and it's dead because of no reason, i didn't even overclock the processor, and seriously, using it an a very low spec pc, why should it be dead? shakehead.gif

Thermaltake Sucks... vmad.gif

maybe the PSU too power for your too low spec PC tongue.gif
anyway, a friend of mine also, faced this Tt's PSU, dead for no reason after been using 3~4 months...RMA-ed, sold it, and got himself FSP. now i can see he's happy rclxms.gif

ohmy.gif, 2 CoolerGiants and a Liberty dead? i wonder how come Enermax so bad...and i do agree with Mr. Charge-n-Go, need to burn-in slowly it'll be ok...

Wow, seems like iCute has the highest failure. My iCute failed after a year, just right after the warranty period. doh.gif I never failed to meet the deadline, I was rushing like mad to finish up my assignments during my college years and didn't expect the PSU to konk like that and it was strictly for my college work, I never used my rig for gaming purposes or neither did I overclock it. Very weird and I even used a PK Automatic Voltage Regulator. Hai ...... rclxub.gif So, no more iCute from now onwards, I rather go for Thermaltake or Cooler Master PSUs.

I have a feeling that people just voted icute because of the brand not because it failed them / also a majority issue. Used chapalang brand to OC to 2.4GHz for a few months but upgraded to FSP because of unstable rails.
