So after using Enermax PSU's exclusively for about 10 years now. I decided to make a switch after hearing so much about Corsair.
Now the reason I decided to switch was my Enermax Infinity 720Watt PSU started to act up.
This review covers the feature i'm about to talk about

Anyways Power guard started acting up and I was constantly getting a red light and two beeps, when trying to power on the machine or if I got it on and it went to sleep and was woken up. As you can see this would be super annoying after awhile. So since I bought this psu in 2007 it was clearly past the 3 year warranty.
So I said F*** it i'm gonna stray from what I know and try a different brand even tho this is the only issue i've ever had with a enermax psu. I'm still gonna do an RMA and once I find out what the cost will be I may fix it and resell it.
So I decided to try this new corsair gold PSU and so far i'm very impressed. It's so quiet I wasn't sure the thing was on when I powered on. Love the all black modular cables and build quality is on par with Enermax for sure. However it is pricey if you can afford it and well worth the money. I'm gonna be joining the chim challenge folding over the next few days so will put it to work hard very shortly.
One thing I was not impressed with is the Enermax support forum they take pretty long to get back to question seems as if they are understaffed.
**The 7 year warranty was also a big factor in me going corsairs way!**
If you own a Corsair PSU I would like to know your feedback on it and how's it been running for you.
