875035 2010-04-11 04:57:00 Anyone got or used or have information on these - specifically the 355 Watt version?

I'm thinking of getting one but I have no idea of the quality.

On one hand, it's an Enermax, on the other, it's the cheapest Enermax you can get.

I've asked on Jonnyguru forum and was told that it's built on the Channel-Well PUF platform which according to the one person who said anything, is unreliable (apparently break in several months) - but didn't say why they break.

But all the shops here list these as having a 3-year warranty, so to me it doesn't add up. They would be guaranteed to be returned all the time.

Enermax forum wasn't much use, the only person who replied is from the marketing deparment and who of course told me it's a good PSU.


So really I am asking here, does anyone have one, how long have you had it, does it still work, did you ever had issues with it, and does anyone have one they wouldn't mind cracking open and taking photos of the insides or at least telling me what brand of capacitors they're using in them?

Or even better, anyone use or sell a lot of these, with any evidence of high failure rate?

875036 2010-04-11 05:55:00 Hmmm. Most user reviews were 50/50. Bad sort of ratings for Enermax.
Hardware Secrets saty the 500w is OK but not value for money.

355w?? Just go get a 400w Corsair, hell even I use 400w Corsairs in low end builds.
