Over-rated doesn't mean bad. Corsair, Noctua, Ducky and EVGA qualify, for sure.

 

 

And Silverstone are one of the few remaining companies out there that make proper metal cases anymore

 

Unfortunately everything they've made since the FT03 has been absolutely hideous. I miss the Silverstone of olde.

"Only Corsair PSU's? dude, have you used their fans before? them things are terrible!"

 Have I? Yup I have six sp120's  :D and love them. What do you not like about them? And about silverstone I like that there cases are made of metal but they are over priced 500 pounds for a TJ11 just no. (Dont kill me Linus) on top of that why spend that amount of money when I can get something like a Cosmos two for £269.99 thats just as good if not more.

For the amount Corsair charges for them things they are terrible. Any other fan in a similar price point is simply miles ahead in terms of silence.

I dont know what you mean about them not being silent I got the quiet series fans and I can barely hear them at max speed.

Every company is overrated to a certain extent.

I think Corsair power supplies are overrated. The Seasonic ones are great, but no better than a lot of the other ones on the market, and a lot of the Channel Well units are mediocre.

 

I think Corsair's mice are terrible. they are way too heavy and only have adns 9500/9800 sensor, which have the acceleration problem.

 

I think Asus ROG boards are incredibly overpriced for what they are, and don't understand why anyone would buy them. Also, thermal armor looks silly.

 

Razer. The Deathadder 3G and 3.5G were good, just about everything else looks terrible.

 

I don't really like NZXT cases, since their mechanism for attaching the door can cause it to vibrate.

 

It personally annoys me when people say corsair cases are the best when they've never paid attention to anything else

I think Corsair makes some of the best cases. They are one of the only companies that always puts 8 PCIe slots (or a space below  the 7th), a large CPU backplate cutout, and large cable routing holes.

 

There are way too many cases, these days, that you have to mod, if you want to build in it easily.

Yes I know they are OEM by seasonic,they are well made that is a given just in my opinion their PSU's are overpriced. For example lets compare Corsair & XFX both are OEM by seasonic and lets say I want a fully modular PSU at 1000Ws Corsair does have a 1000W PSU but it's not fully modular were as XFX does and it's cheaper and 80+ platinum unlike corsair for a 1000w PSU from corsair you have to go up to their professional series which is alot more expensive.

Bose (Personally) aren't overrated, there one of the only speaker/headphones (Thingy Magig) that deserve their price range the quality is outstanding. Unlike beats where they cost £150 for basically £20 Headphones
