Gamemax PSU's on the rainforest. Rubbish?

[ooStevo]

So i see a lot of these on the rainforest,and they are just as expensive as Corsair fully modular models. I'm assuming they are a bit crap,but i've been out of the loop so long i don't know what's what. *

* I initially ordered this

Gigabyte UD750GM 750W 80 PLUS Gold Fully Modular ATX Power Supply but it never arrived so i got a refund. Now it has increased in price.​

So now i'm thinking of this​

Corsair RM750e (2023) Fully Modular Low-Noise ATX Power Supply - ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 Compliant - 105°C-Rated Capacitors - 80 PLUS Gold Efficiency​

Gigabyte one is £89. Corsair one is £99. The names Terry Tibbs,thank you,an goodnight!

The RM750e is fine, no idea about the other brand, since I can't find any reviews.

Yeah but if you were buying,would you get the Gigabyte or the Corsair? The PSU i expect to last for a decade. My gut says get the Corsair.

Personally, I don't and probably never will trust Gigabyte to make PSUs

Speedrun Gigabyte Power Supply Explosion: Biggest Failure Yet (GP-P750GM)

Gigabyte kept claiming that media testing was over "extended time periods," so we decided to speedrun the explosion of one of its GP-P750GM PSUs to prove a p...

But, you may want to read a review or two and decide for yourself:

The UD750GM is the successor of the P750GM, the first versions of which had severe reliability issues. Gigabyte released later upgraded versions of the P750GM and P850GM units. Still, there was no way to distinguish them from the older ones, and given the low popularity of these models, the best way was to introduce a new line, the UD one, which uses the upgraded P-GM platform.

Gigabyte UD750GM Power Supply Review

Decent, efficient, and with a reasonable price tag.

The Gigabyte is a decent and reliable PSU. Given the bad history of the P750GM, we pushed it a lot, more than usual, to check if there were any problems, but the PSU did OK, surviving all of our tests. The MEIC platform that it uses offers high efficiency, and it has great soldering quality. Still, we would like better filtering caps on the secondary side and a higher quality fan, which doesn't use a hydrodynamic bearing, as Gigabyte states, but a rifle bearing. The compact dimensions and the correctly set protection features are two more assets of this product.

The competition is tough in the mid to high-capacity PSU categories, so Gigabyte has to do better to stand out from the crowd. The UD750GM is not a bad product, far from it, but the competition is intense, and it doesn't offer something notable besides a reasonable price (which at the time of the review was $80). If you can get a Corsair RM750x or an EVGA 750 G6 for $10 to $20 more, it's worth spending the extra money. If the price difference is higher, you should consider the UD750GM.

Thanks for the links. I think I'll give the Gigabyte a miss. No point risking it. So it'll be the Corsair I reckon. Thank you.

No brainer, go with the premium tried and tested PSU vendor, Corsair have been making them for years.

/\/\/\ This. Corsairs Warranty & RMA procedure was very good when I used it. No idea about today. UK RMA address AFAIK. Gigabyte? No idea period.
