Joe,
From what I stated, how do you make that I am the "master"? I am not a power supply expert and never said I was. What I stated above is factual. Why do you have a problem with it?

I don't find them overrated. I find them overhyped and overpriced, but not overrated.
As far as Seasonic builds go, I generally put them in this order from excellent to just above average:
1-PC P&C Silencer 750 and 610, Corsair HX Series, Seasonic M12
2-Corsair VX450, Seasonic S12, PC P&C Silencer 470W and down
3-Antec Neo HE, low end Seasonic, Antec Truepower Trio
4-Antec Earthwatts

Thank you for answering my question without asking why I asked it.... lol.
What do you think of Enermax? I've used these for my gaming rig for a long time, and just recently changed to a 750 QUAD.

Enermax is average to above average depending on the model. Never was too big a fan of theirs. Some are very good, others not so much.
The CEC caps they often use sometimes go to heaven early, much like Antec/CWT's Fuhjyyu problems.

Probably not important to anybody, seasonic has largest number certified 80% efficient power supplies.

Thats a great link, thanks!
Back in the day that was actually the reason why I bought mine...
From all the hardware I have in my rig, I have never been more satisfied than with my S-12 500

I have the 550W 80% it's very silent now in the beginning the fan had some bearing noise by now that's gone and more than enough to power my rig.
BTW afaik they make the corsair psus as well.

Not the 550 Corsair. That is CWT.
