Any thoughts on Corsair HX620W PSU?

On the other hand, the HX are almost unsurpassed when it comes to low noise. Almost in the sense that there are totally passively cooled PSU, but you do sacrifice a lot from going a very quiet 120mm fan to no fan at all. In that aspect, the HX even surpasses Seasonic M12 since the later added a 60mm fan - which does comparatively little in terms of improving cooling, yet add that little more noise. The thing I was most impressed by Enermax is.. the RMA efficiency. No sarcasm here, I can't praise the PSU for 'low noise', I can't praise it for having to be replaced (though I realise 'things happens'), yet I received a brand new unit within 5 working days counting from the day I sent the unit out.

The cables also feel very flimsy and of 'not good' quality.

At the end of the day, they will run most rigs perfectly well.

I agree with the comment about the cables (and thank you NVlucky for the comment about heating them - but its not the insulation that is the problem I think it is the actual wire inside - not very flexible) and I found that disappointing. I haven't taken the cover off to see what the build quality is like though.

But as you say, at the end of the day, they will run most kit perfectly well - and they are are probably better than a lot!

On the other hand, the HX are almost unsurpassed when it comes to low noise. ===snip

Yes - and it was partly on that reputation that I bought mine - and in that respect I haven't been disappointed!

I agree totally about the noise from the Corsair. There isnt any.
I am a little suprised that you thought the Liberty wasnt very quiet. I cant hear mine at all.

That RMA turn around is exceptional. I have never had to RMA one yet but i did hear that their RMA process was good. I didnt realise it was that good though.

HX620 is now installed and running sweet. I'd say that the PSU itself looks and feels solid enough, but I can see what you mean about the cables... Other than their rigidity, they feel very cheap and plasticy! I think you could get better quality cable from B&Q.

Still, it's running sweet on my DFI board with no problems whatsoever!

My only real gripe is the number of Floppy connectors. OK, I know floppies are dying, and those that use them are showing their age, but I always pop a floppy drive into any new build for posterities sake if nothing else! However, my DFI also have a floppy connector on MoBo, and the single Molex to Floppy splitter (Y-piece) can't be used to connect this and my floppy drive.... they are just too far apart. Plenty of other cables though, with different connectors and lengths for everything inside my rig.
