phillrulz

Also please list the hardware you posses by said company and why you like them

Here is a template:

 

Company:

Hardware:

Why:

 

For me.....

 

Company: Corsair

Hardware: C70 white case, CX600m, CX750( i think), Corsair vengeance, H100i, ( use the two fans from the h100i as case fans)

Why: Always seen them as reliable and very well designed both technically and visually, also present themselves very well as a tech company.

Here comes the Asus flood.

 

As for myself, no idea. I don't care for brand, only personal experience, people's reviews, specifications, price, "what I want", etc. Which is fairly random.

I really wish that we'd just make organic hardware already, that grows and adapts to the demands it needs to meet. That way, grannies' computers can be floppy sacks of organicness and the 12 year old Minecrafters will look like the guys that only do bicep curls, and the nerdy programmers will finally have justice, with their body-builder rigs that skipped leg day.

I don't fanboy. Corsair makes some pretty bad products (eg cx series) or are not on par with other companies. I just choose the best for my needs with the best quality.

Not even bothered to argue with a fanboy.

 Here is why the cx series are bad (the tx and the rm series are bad as well, the only good PSU from corsair are the hx and ax)

 

"The OEM that made it is Channel Well Technology Aka CWT

The reason why its not good is becasue its made with cheap parts

It has ONE japanese capacitor a Panasonic made one but only rated for 85c not 105c

The rest are cheap not so good Taiwanese or Chinese capacitors

Point is they are not suited to any kind of mid or high end gaming rig"

I am pretty objective, and I realise that even my most preferred companies make sh!t products every now and then.

That said: SanDisk.

But you'll do it anyways .. :P

 

The CX serie is fine, I've been using their PSUs for years without a problem. PSUs are overrated IMO, I know a lot of people who still use crappy no-name PSUs and they are doing just fine in their "gaming" rig. I would never recommand no-name PSUs and I wouldn't use one myself, but all this to say that as long as it's from a reliable company, sufficient wattage and efficiency, it should be fine. Corsair PSUs have a low return rate, considerably lower than SeaSonic's which everyone praise for some reason. ^^

 

</offtopic>

 

I'm not a fanboy of any company in particular, but I do own a few Logitech periphericals and I recommand them to everyone. I have a 710+, 602, G27 and Attack 3. Great quality, awesome support. ;)

I have a CX750 which has been powered up nonstop for about a year ( i cut the 12v rails and made it a PSU for a car sub i run in my room) Its extremely good at massive current surges, lowest Vdroop i have seen is to like 10v even then it recovers with very little over voltage....

I try not to fan boy as much as possible. But......

 

Company: Intel + Nvidia

Hardware: 2x i7 4770k's, i5 4670k, i7 3610qm, 2x GTX 660, 2 SLI GTX 760's, GTX 670m

Why: Although AMD makes good CPU's and GPU's for the money I feel that intel in all has a better way of approaching there cpu's by going with fewer powerful cores over more less powerful cores. The main reason I am an nvidia fan boy is because I have been using nvidia GPU's for years and I have never had one GPU fail on me (Given that is probably luck more than anything else). The other reason why I like nvidia is I feel they have much more mature drivers. The on time I bought an AMD GPU the drivers were so bad I was unable to use the card for more than 30 minutes without the drivers crashing, and the game closing.

 

 

Company: Asus

Hardware: Asus GTX 660's, Asus Laptop G75VW-NS71

Why: I only just recently started to fan boy asus mainly because I bought a refurbished laptop from them, it's amazing compared to my older alienware. All though it is thick it's also REALLY quiet, same with the GPU's. This spot use to be saved for MSI but recently I have been having some trouble with my MSI motherboards so Asus is here instead.

EVGA, mostly because of their stellar support with great warranties and customer relations, but they build superb components as well. If there is something that does a better job than an EVGA product I will choose that though, I'm not exactly a fan-boy, rather a supporter.

I like the case designs of Corsair and the MSI gaming series motherboards look so badass and are kinda cheap :P

i was going to go with a sabertooth mk 1 from a 990fx, but decided on the Maxpower, better features at the same price range!

I just hope i dont have to test out their warranty with my 780ti :L but good to see a company that doesnt just shit on its consumers
