Which 650W? EVGA G1+, or Rosewill Capstone?

[VirtualLarry]

I've purchased several PSUs over the last two weeks.

Amoung them, the Rosewill Capstone 650W 80Plus Gold Modular (semi, I think), for ~$45.

And the EVGA G1+ 80Plus Gold 650W for $60.

Which would be better to use in my personal rigs, from a quality / longevity standpoint?

The EVGA have 10+2 yr warranty, the Rosewill have 5 yr. But both have Japanese caps, so I expect both will last 10 years anyways.

G1+ without a doubt.

Rosewill seems to have some serious quality control issues (with their various OEMs) with some of their PSUs.

That's the final ratings page for that Capstone 750W you linked to. Other than that issue with some of the mainboard soldering, it seemed to score decently. Maybe not perfect, but really decent. Plus, I've owned Enhance units before (remember that Hot Deal from geeks.com for those Enhance units that had the 8-pin NON-SPLITTABLE EPS12V connectors on them, bulk? I must have bought like 10 of them. Some of them lasted for 5 years or longer. Not much longer, mind you.)

Yeah, they rate decent enough, but the thing that always concerned me besides the manufacturing gaffs, are the number of negative user reviews about the PSUs dying after a year or two.

I've had good luck sticking to EVGA and Seasonic PSUs, so until they give me a reason to switch to someone else, I will just watch for good sales and pick up one up as needed. EVGA has had several really good sales throughout the year, so it's not to tough to get a great deal.

I have a capstone; It is a smaller model - I think 550; one sec gotta search old emails; it is a 450-m; anyway it has been in use since July 2013 - so a bit over 5 years without any issues. The system is a 2500k with 7 hard drives a pair of ssd; so not a huge power draw if that helps.
