Top to bottom, from best to acceptable, based on personal opinion.

In the end, it's up to your luck which one is best for you.

I have been using Cooler Master PSU for the past 15 years or so. Not issues at all for me, their basic models can last at least 5 years.

Not the "brand" that determines the reliability. Its the OEM they contract with to make the series thats tied to the baseline reliability?

Not all evgas are good, not all fsps are bad. If you have a PSU in mind, google for the jonnyguru or tomshardware review to help you decide.

Best answer so far. It's a folly to make one's purchase based purely the branding. There's at least 1 dud for every brand.

Depends.

Seasonic Prime is #1 on my list but some of the lower range Seasonics have issues.

PC Power&Cooling was the Rolls Royce of PSUs but lost much of their lustre after being bought by OCZ.

I tend to agree with Thermaltake being near the bottom of the list even though I'm using a Thermaltake Toughpower 750W Gold that has lasted me for years and 2 rigs without problem. I even have a spare BNIB of the same PSU as backup.

Personally speaking fsp and seasonic are good.

Don't need to depend. I already said it's my list liao. Your list can be diff from mine, not my problem.

Corsair, Asus, EVGA, are all reliable but I have used only Corsair with no problems.
