Have a Galaxy Enermax 1000w here; it runs fairly cool and suprisingly quiet. Intake fan is 120mm or larger while the exhaust is 92mm. The casing is cool to the touch compared to my last PSU which doubled as a grill.

Not when the main post in the thread was from a very reputable person who has been doing PSU reviews, previews, and research for many many years. He had a site with every PSU you could find to purchase and he would tell you the actual wattage it would do reliably (no peak wattage here). He also did alot of reviews on the internals. He would take apart a PSU to see where the pieces were made and that helps alot to determine a good from a bad.
Trust me when I say he was THE SOURCE when you needed info on a PSU. I wish I remembered a name...

Dr. Michael Schuette, Anand Lal Shimpi, Walt Mossberg = Reliable and trustworthy
Some random unknown Joe Doe hiding behind a screen name using some random forum = questionable source and not trustworthy. Even I can spew BS and convince you it's truth; It's not hard to do.

Thread is here, drama starts about the third page. There was a thread about that thread on these forums; it is here.
jonnyGURU is not "Joe Doe". He's stated more than once that current Silencers are built by Seasonic, and all the internal shots I've seen of them would support that.
Incidentally, he claims on the second page of the AT Forums thread above to have confirmed that the Doug Dodson emails posted on Hardforum were all legit.
Not trusting someone on the internet because you don't trust anyone on the internet is one thing ("on the internet, no one knows you're a dog"). Not trusting them purely because you don't know their real name is another.
Quoting and replying to part of a post and omiting the rest is a standard forum (and email, Usenet, etc.) practice. Chill out. Are you going to complain next that I removed the nested quotes when I quoted your post?
I second Enermax PSUs. Been using them for about 9 years with no problems. PSUs last longer than the other system parts running 24/7.

The air temp exhausting out of my galaxy 850 is substantially cooler than when I was using an enermax noisetaker 600 running the same stuff except for the case.
I disagree. PSUs should not last as long as CPUs and memory, and probably motherboards and video cards as well. The first thing to fail is usually the caps, and no other part has them at higher temperatures for extended periods.
I vote Seasonic. Esp. since they MAKE the silencer 750 that is being recommended here, and for the same $200, you can get a modular M12 700 that performs the same and looks better.
And yes I'm biased b/c I just shopped for PSUs, and decided that Seasonic was best.

I voted PP&C mainly because too much bias in AT forums for Seasonic ,personally you can't go wrong with either or any good quality PSU like Enermax etc...
In the end does it really matter which one you get when you are looking at some of the best PSU brands,I think not.

Each one takes about half an amp on +12V. About 1A on spinup, but the other components won't draw so much during boot.
What I meant to say was that all the Enermax PSUs I have owned have lasted longer than the other pc components in my builds.
Another foodfighter thread.
He posts flame bait then never re-enters the thread.
Give him a spanking and no desert. Hahahaha!
No one needs a 1kw PSU...end of thread.
