Scythe Chouriki 2 650W PSU Models Sold Only as 80 PLUS Silver Certified
Scythe officially announced that the Chouriki 2 650 Watt Power Supply Units is being sold only as 80PLUS Silver, although it was announced as 80PLUS Gold rated. After verifying a dozen more of the production samples, the efficiency rate was not sufficient enough for Scythe standards which lead to repealing of the earlier statement and offering it as 80PLUS Silver like the other models of the Chouriki 2 PSU Series.
Effective immediately, all Chouriki 2 650 Watt PSU are sold as 80PLUS Silver Models. Although the official 80PLUS website is listing the 650W model as Gold certified, Scythe is kindly asking to consider the PSU being a Silver certified model due to scattering in production. The official report can be found here (PDF).

Maybe one day some other big manufactures will take the hint that good customer service go's a long way.
Hope the link below (sorry TechPowerUp) could be of any help regarding power supply labeling.
Power Supplies With Fake 80 Plus Badges.
I have a couple CPU coolers from them and apart from being a bitch to mount (high tension on the retention clip. Actually better for cooling but inconvenient) are of EXTREMELY high build quality and function exactly as specified; as one would expect of japanese quality.
Good to see they're as quality oriented on all their products, and honest about it too.
RE: link - BOOO for Spire.
i think corsair did something similar with their HX750 and HX850 as well, labeling them to be silver when they are given gold
