Corsair Voted Best PSU and Best Memory Manufacturer 2009

Corsair, a worldwide leader in high-performance computer and flash memory products, today announced that it was voted Best Memory Manufacturer 2009 and Best PSU Manufacturer 2009 by the readers of Custom PC magazine and bit-tech.net.

Custom PC magazine and bit-tech.net, based in the United Kingdom, are two of the most highly respected and influential technology publications in the world. These awards were voted for by their audience of PC hardware enthusiasts and overclockers, and Corsair emerged as the clear winner in the Power Supply and Memory categories.

"Corsair winning the award for Best Power Supply Manufacturer for the third year running is a terrific achievement as it's a very competitive section of the marketplace where reliability and stability are key," said Alex Watson, Group Editor of Custom PC and bit-tech.net. "Corsair's award for Best Memory Manufacturer is a testament to the speed, value and design of its modules. The company also played a key role in this year's winning Dream PC, the Scan 3XS Jellyfish, supplying its chassis, solid-state drives and DDR3 memory. Congratulations to Corsair, the awards were well deserved."
Corsair is famous for its reliable, ultra high-performance memory, with the Dominator and Dominator GT products being the choice of enthusiasts and overclockers the world over.

In addition to its world-leading range of power supplies, Corsair successfully entered into the chassis and cooling markets in 2009, with the award-winning Obsidian 800D chassis and Hydro Series H50 high-performance CPU Cooler.

"Corsair is honored to have been voted Best Memory Manufacturer 2009 and Best PSU Manufacturer 2009 by the technology-savvy readers of Custom PC and bit-tech.net, who are also our valued customers," said Andy paul, President and CEO of Corsair. "We are also proud and excited to have won the "Best PSU Manufacturer" award for the third year running, which is a testament to the expertise and total commitment to quality of Corsair's engineering team."

mechtechI think the funniest thing about this, is that Corsair doesnt even manufacture most of the things they sell. They buy them from a manufacturer and put their name on them and re-sell them.

The PSU's are made by Seasonic and other PSU manufacturers, and the memory chips come from Elphida and other manufacturers and Corsair throws on their badge.

So the title should say best memory and PSU re-brander/re-seller not manufacturer

They do at least use quality stuff from quality manufacturers though.
For their PSUs, they are overbuilt to Corsair's specs. They aren't 100% stock from the OEM.

As far as their ram, they are overpriced for what you get, so I can't comment. G.Skill and Crucial have the same level of quality, yet are much cheaper, and I know the Crucial's RMA process is just as painless as Corsair, so you aren't paying extra for that.

I prefer Mushkin or G.Skill RAM, but I can't deny that Corsair's PSUs (and the H50) are top-quality gear.

Unbelievable, after screwing it with the Dominator series that where so crap they had to recall them and their PSUs that are 4th or 5th when it comes to RMA rate higher than Antec, Cooler Master and others they are still getting prizes?!
Incredible, they arej just sticker makers, nothing more.

But the thing is, with Corsair power supplies you'll never even have to RMA.

never had to RMA an Antec. Also Great Ram doesn't need a ridiculous price tag either.

PSU's are really great from low end up to the highest end. Prices are slightly higher than average, but they justify that with quality. Only fans used in their PSU's could be slightly better. I mean, paying extra 5-10 eur for high end super silent fan is no problem when you pay over 160 eur for a PSU. Fan rattling (clicking noise?) becomes really annoying if you have a silent PC setup.
But still, power characteristics were always on the top.
