High End Case Psu Not worth premium cheap vs premium

[graylinghunter]

I swapped my psu for a cosair 620 from an unbranded cheap £23 PSU. I was looking to make my system a little quieter. It has not had much effect at all. So for £75 difference I am not sure it was not worth it. The only thing with the new psu is its modular so my case has a few less wires? but this has a slight downside as the cables from the back of the psu take up more room than normal. I fell into the same trap a couple of months back when I swapped from air cooled zalman 9500led to swiftech apex ultra! my system didnt OC any better and the noise difference was minimal but the bling effect was the only bonus.

Hmm I have been building pcs from early 90s and to be honnest i have not had any problems with any of the generic power supplies failing or burning out other parts, its only in latter years that branded supplies have come into the picture. Note I was not putting the cosair product down I am just pointing out that a cheaper win power psu can do the same job as long as its not overloaded to full capacity. Also I would expect the higher end psu may be cheaper and quieter to run. I have run the win power 600w psu since i installed the e6600 some months ago when the cpu first came out it been oc ever since as well as my 7900gtx (see below). 3 sata drives 2 dvdrw drives a sound card a tv card.
In my time I must have built well over 100 systems. I have never had one! back although I have not built OC systems for other people.
