    I don't think so after what the so called Enermax 650W "SLI" Certified did in the Hexus.net Power Supply Showdown. It blew chunks. I will not ever buy a Enermax

    So you will not buy any component based upon 1 failed psu in 1 review? That's not very logical, IMO. And Enermax has a stellar reputation for building high quality psu's.

    1. enermax is better then you think
    2. just because one psu fails cant mean you say a Whole company sucks. get real dude. you think OCZ or antec or other companys didnt have a psu or memory stick fail during a review?
    3. your crapping on a great company. you do have an opinon, but its basied off a stupid fact. i like how your sig takes about thread crapping.

    Its not that it failed its that it couldn't live up to the rated specs. I said I would not buy a Enermax its called an opinion which you pointed out. How is thread crapping the same as basing an open on a compnay.

    You are are very foolish to base such a decision on "1" review &
    that by people doing the review in the lab of a competing company (FSP).
    Enermax has a long history of making quality PSU's &
    there are 100's of positive Enermax reviews.

    One must assume that you are an inexperienced. (...)censored - bachus_anonym.

    well your bashing a new product from a company that had one issue with one review. why even post that stupid comment? its not useful to this thread.

    Anyways, i like the look of the psu, but its nothing id get right now.

    -edit: im not trying to flame anyone, just simply people that have things in there sigs and making posts like that just annoy me a tad.

    I agree that you can not draw any conclusions on 1 review. The OCZ power supply failed TomsHardware stress test but is one of the most popular power supplies with very few complaints. When I need another PSU I will seriously consider the Enermax.

    A) The Enermax is not 650W, but only 600W (at least the EG701 was the closest to 650W that I could find in Hexus' review).
    B) I have that Enermax, and I have to say that it is a very good unit, I have not experienced any issues with my current system.
    C) In the past, Enermax has made a lot of quality PSUs, so please don't put it down onto the level of something like a QTEC.

    I will not say that you should speak from experience, because that is almost certainly impossible to do (unless you have had 10+ Enermax EG701s go bad on you). I have nothing against your opinion, I am simply asking you to learn from your mistakes and not base everything on one review.

    I think that we can agree that PC Power and Cooling units are among the best, but see post #2 here http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/....php?p=1044982 . Not every unit is perfect...

    Cheers,

    I really can't believe the *** n000bs here! Here is a company (Enermax) that has been giving us excellent PSU's for years & one "BS" website faults one of their PSU's & these *** are throwing in the towel! ***!

    never owned one, but i've worked on several, they seemed 'without issue'...

    i never did flame enermax, and i do agree, there are a lot of n00bs here that will not look beyond thier own and buy a different product, its called product bias... everyone thinks thier own stuff is better than everyone elses...

    i've owned a lot of power supplies, and right now i'm running a Tt 480w, that these days probably isn't suitable for a lot of systems, no 24pin connector etc, low +12v rails... but its never been unstable.... and i'm sure there are a lot of people here who would flame it in a heartbeat...

    i'm just saying they operate @ spec.... why should i buy a unit that has EVER FAILED EVEN A SINGLE STUPID LAME TEST (which hexus' WASn't, it was EXTREMELY thorough if you read the thing through, more than just hooking the up and measuring the rails on it... ) when i can buy a fortron or tagan... or akasa (i wish) or even a new Tt or Antec?

    NickS is just trying to stir something up, like always, the avg fanboy

    EDIT: why do you CARE what others buy? its a form of flaming everyone elses brands... its a form of saying if somebody decides to buy an OCZ instead of an enermax, they should have bought an enermax.... why? because OCZ sucks...


    so stop trying to call other people flamers... and just drop it,


    of all things to get angry about, wow, a friggin power supply
