  1. Seems like. After something like 1-2 hours checking the total info on the net about it, I saw things about the voltage, too, despite of the protections, with also some user complaints about failure, seemingly more and sharper than the such ones for any of the new Corsair's equivalents & 'neighbours' in wattage. Warranty sounds useless if I'll have to return it and have to switch to another brand afterwards and I still may put 120-150 W gpu sometime with some other accessories in the next months, maybe an year. This spreadsheet seems improved. Well, for the VTE I saw 'TE', I guess it's the same (?), this in the Change-log section; after this in the C-letter section I really found two useful aditional links to the one I mentioned here, where google translate did some good job. Really, I had to scroll and investigate some more in this datasheet, this has to be admitted. The tier list maintained here appears to be the best ranking-one when it comes to searching and scrolling in the internet about PSUs' quality as at it can give at least common orientation about it. Still, mb direct links/hyperlinks from the name of the PSU or reasons in short below the psu tier list itself in different font may be helpful, I dunno. I'd almost say it's ez and perfected, but the separate datasheet with having to scroll to right to find the letters and Ctrl+F to search for what I need while in the correct section(s) seems(a bit of) complicated for me. I usually don't get confused by such. At least more complicated than hyperlinks and short infos below, like how it's done for some of the units. Things like '[1] Seasonic S12II and related units have or had UVP issues, source.' in the end of the Tier D's group would probably make this list serve, like perfectly without being too much in space. Despite of this the list here deserves to be printed in every new PSU's box. A bit hard to believe that I had to exclude more than 30 PSUs to finally choose what 'd (most likely) do me the best job from the PSUs around, but I guess it's worth. Anyway, I've ordered a Corsair CX 450 (Gray, CWT) relatively cheap, seems like it's getting end-of life production or limited production mb, at least I see very few ones remaining around where I live. Whatever, I have kinda' good hopes about it and I guess it'll be as quiet and good as they say.
  2. Well, it's good to see why exactly the PSUs are in the current row, but I see things only for some of the PSUs. E.g. why is the Cougar VTE Bronze in tier D? Does it mean that in a 370-430 W system with a locked CPU and a non-6-pin 75 W GPU my system is gonna burn? Or if I put a 6-pin gtx 1060 (120W) it would fail? Really, where you can, you 'd better put, like, a link to jonnyguru or another guru/critic's review, or to write at least 'it has no deep reviews' in the places where you actually really can. This Cougar is really affordable in my country and I don't see it being some old one, and in my local shops it seems to circulate recently, not just in some suspicious site. If it's guaranteed to be so disastrous, why would these things be in the internet: https://cougargaming.com/bg/products/psus/vte/ https://www.eteknix.com/cougar-vte-500w-power-supply-review/2/
