i did :)
Corsair has the Best Customer Service ever in my opinion. I find the guys in the forums that work for them to be very nice and helpful. Not to mention there RMA process it the best and fastest as well.
My only gripe is I think they should listen to there customers request. I posted a poll on there new AX series PSU requesting that they make some SHORT (htpc) REGULAR (stock) LONG (Tower cases) cables for the customers can purchase on there own and pay extra for them to help make it easier to fit in cases.
really great manufacturer, also there memmory oc really good, and the psu can handle alot more power than the psu's are rated for

Corsair GS 800 - manufactured by CWT
Corsair TX 950 - manufactured by CWT
Corsair AX1200 - manufactured by Flextronics
Corsair AX850 - manufactured by Seasonic
All I am saying is credit should be given where its do.
:rockout:
The reason Corsair, OCZ, or SilverStone are called "manufacturers" is because they design their PSUs, and make foundry partners (such as CWT, Flextronics, or Seasonic) manufacture according to their designs, choice of components, and specifications. This is the reason why Corsair's Seasonic-made PSUs, for example, are qualitatively better than Seasonic PSUs it sells under its own channel brand.
The AX1200W is obviously not designed by Flextronics, it's only manufactured by it, Flextronics is just a foundry partner, just like TSMC is to NVIDIA. Otherwise, Flextronics would make a loot selling such an awesome PSU.
Apart form the builder series of PSU's i have a lot of faith in corsairs products and customer service, although the latter is greatly to do with the fact that multiple people who have had a H50 leak and kill their pc have had it replaced by corsair and that's not just the cooler, it's all the parts that were killed by the coolers death.The same would apply to AMD as globalfoundries makes their cpu's (yes i count them as fully separate company's now).
I'm glad they won, I've had nothing but great experiences with all of my Corsair products.
But for people who don't OC, memory is memory is memory. The only difference between funcional models for us is the speed, price, & warranty.
it's CORSAIR name on the product, not CWT, not Flextronics, not Seasonics. Even Corsair paid for their UL Number for this.
And I should say, that corsair get the best psu NOT from their budget series of psu. That line is just sucks :mad:
