It is very simple to me.
I recommend or suggest a power supply or anything else and give a basic reason for my suggestions or recommendations. If someone wants more information then they can do more research for themselves.
Some people need studies, reports, graphs and charts. That is also fine with me. Go for it if that is your thing.

I agree with you 100% !

The thing which bug's me is there always has to be one person who refuses to know or realize when it is time to back off and just let it go !

My intentions and my actions are being grossly misunderstood.

Don`t get a Corsair HX650, I got one and there were issues with it.

Yes, it may have been 1 out of a 100, but there are known issues with it.

The 750 they replaced it with is performing flawlessly.

I stick with the AX-Gold modular.
One you have went modular you won't go back.

Another problem with the HX650 is that it only has 2 x 6+2-pin PCI-E connectors, yet internally it is the 650W SeaSonic G Series which has 4 x 6+2-pin PCI-E connectors. What's more, most good quality-made 650W PSUs have 4, not 2.

As I've said before, with Corsair you can usually find a better PSU for about the same price and sometimes a little less, and you can almost always find a PSU that's about on par for less.

Thanks for the information AddRAM. It should help others.

Forgive me, but what about what I posted? Knowing that the HX650 has 2 x 6+2-pin connectors instead 4 like all other good 650W PSUs can easily be a deal-breaker for most people because a good 650W PSU is perfect for a typical system that has two video cards.
