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. Credits to Buub of TRForums |

QUOTE(Thrust @ Jan 4 2007, 07:24 PM) Could it be that good branded/reputable PSU died because non of the user are using any sort of voltage regulators to regulate the current? I have used Enlight 300W and now using Enermax FMA460W running folding 24/7 and none of this PSU died. a good PSU should be able to tolerate voltage variations from the mains.. heck.. at my place.. the voltage fluctuates from 230v at night time to a high 250v at daytime.. and according to my UPS, there has been 12 brownouts recorded for the last 2 weeks..

those caps are rated for 105C
i dun think a normal PSU with sufficient airflow goes more than 50C even the air outputted by my vga card at 55C feels warmer than the air outputted by the PSU |
