Why do people continually yell to avoid Raidmax, yet all the reviews online from people who actually bought one, are generally good? Even better than the "fancy" branded equivalent?

His Raidmax on Newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152046

73% 5 Stars (47 people)
11% 1 star (7 people)

Better than the recommendation from the guy above. On Newegg (as good reviews as any id guess) that XFX only got 62% 5 Star and 11% 1 Stars reviews. Are the reviews liars even though it says theyre verified purchases? Am I a liar since mine has worked perfect for over 2 years now? Are the reviews for the "big name" PSU's paid off by raidmax to leave worse reviews on their higher dollar competitors PSUs?
