That would be like saying Corsair, Kingston, OCZ, and Mushkin are the good memory companies and everything else is crap...well if that's true then what about G.Skill, Petriot, Geil, and some of the others?
Hell G.Skill & Patriot are considered 2 of the top memory producers to overclockers now, although they cost $50-150 less for a 1gb pair. Also, both of them were considered crap at one time or another just like Aspire's psu's are now...lol
Well you get my point by now I'm sure. Everytime I read specs from someone who measures these 500w Aspires they are kicking major @ss, and yes I have seen more than one thread about problems with the OCZ. Anyways, good luck...I just kept posting so GamingPhanboy wouldn't steer you down the same old street. How about you bookmark this one when you get that PSU up and let us know how it works? I am getting the same thing so I will do the same.
I haven't flamed you yet. Why do you feel the need to flame me?
What do you mean steer him down the same street!?!? You obviously have NO clue what you are talking about if you think cheap powersupplies are just as good as the expensive ones. Not to mention G Skill and Patriot are not considered top for OCers. I would put them in mid high end range.
Those 500Watt Aspires are doing no such "*ss kicking". They are NO MATCH for the mid and high end brands. They are just like Tt, flashy entry level. Although the specs on the Aspires are WAY WAY off.
Never once in this thread did i ever say that 3-5 manf are good and the rest suck. I said there are 3-5 top teir manf that produce the best product (Ie Highend)
1. Zippy
2. PCP&C
3. OCZ
4. Enermax
MIDRANGE______________________________________________________
1. Seasonic
2. Fortron
3. Antec (Although they are legendary the TRUEPOWER series is out of date, so well see what happens with the TruePower 2.0 when it is launched )
ENTRY LEVEL_________________These are there because they are generally way off spec-wise__ because they simply do not have the power the others do which therefore suits them only for entry level.
1. Thermaltake
2. Aspire
Once again never did i say that only 3-5 PSU's made are actually good... NEVER.
You have seen more than one thread about problems with OCZ? Well i would hope so seeing that A LOT of people have their PSU's. You also might refer to the PSU's that suddenly blew out the entire system. OCZ claims it was do to a flood. Not only did they give them a brand new PSU, but they also bought those people BRAND NEW equipment for the PC.
Now, stop putting words in my mouth, and stop making me appear like i no nothing.
