I know right, Corsair PSUs the best ;P

Also, shouldn't this be in PSU section?

No they're not. They're rebranded from the best, like Seasonic and Flextronics. Meaning Seasonic, Flextronics and the likes are the best, not Corsair.

What why. Most of the companies that sell PSUs do the same thing as corsair... why are you mad about it?

 

You're assuming corsair only make good products which is completely untrue and no only their "top end" PSUs use a decent OEM a Good half of those are very low quality units. Don't be a fanboy it makes no sense.

I'm not assuming anything. They do make good products, but they are not all good. And about their top end PSU, I don't really care what OEM they use, as long as there is the  7 year warranty I'm happy. Also, all I said is they make a cool label, right there I'm not saying they make their psus...
