I'm looking for a cheap 600-700W PSU that has a good reputation and is 80+ certified. My thoughts were in the Corsair CX600M (I like semi-modulars). What do you think?

The EggXpert 2008 list tells that the Hive is a Tier 2 PSU, but this newer one says that it is Tier 3 (same as the CX600M, but twice the price). Which of the lists is right? Can I really trust this PSU and is it better than the CX600M?

Super fast response :D



Really? I've heard of many people who have the CX600M without issues, but is the Hive really better (not only considering Tier) than it? Is the price difference worh it?
