Your favourite PSU OEM

Re: Your favourite PSU OEM

Astec used to be best until they stopped making power supplies. Now I think it's more or less a tie between Delta and Seasonic.

If money is no object Win-Tact (OEM for PCP&C Turbo Cool) or Zippy/Emacs. For "normal" PSUs I'd probably say Delta with Seasonic as a close seccond.

I'm going with Delta (and therein Newton Power) as well. Seasonic, Lite-on, and Hipro/Chicony are usually very good but I see even underpar capacitors last longer in Delta power supplies than I do in any other power supply using any other design, even on the +5VSB (which is usually where Hipro and Lite-ons have bloated capacitors, along with Seasonic... not Delta unless we're talking CapXon... not to say it can't happen, I saw a thread here where a bloated Taicon PJ was spotted in a DPS-300KB-1A). Delta PSUs also almost always have extremely impeccable soldering and like Hipro and Lite-on are usually very overbuilt with very thick heatsinks, massive coils and rectifiers, very good cooling, low ripple and good voltage regulation, etc. It's hard to beat them. The rest of the OEMs on the listing are more or less okay, including the older FSP units and Enhance units, though I don't really think any of them are quite as good as Delta, Hipro, and Lite-on.

Title says it all. Who's you're favourite OEM?

Personally, I'd say Delta, with Hipro 2nd and Seasonic 3rd
