Wow you're really crazy cjl, do you work for corsair??? So much anger from you lol... Now you're just talking rubbish !

The ST1000-P does not smoke a TX950. It is worse in every measure I can find, and is made from lower quality components. I'm glad you're happy with it, but you'd honestly be better off with the HX850 (or the TX950, and I am unconvinced about your compatibility proclamations - you should be happy with the exchange you got though. The HX850 is superior to the TX950 in basically every way).

lol...

Nope, I don't work for Corsair, and I'm not crazy either. Crazy is to take Newegg reviewers as a better source of information than a good review.

Oh, and just so you know, corsair isn't the best either. Antec's Signature series are even better than Corsair, and there's a Seasonic model (I forget the name, I'd have to look it up). The Silverstone mentioned however is not in this top category.

The TX950 doesn't just have issues on Windows 7 with the latest i7 boards, it's having it with other Asus boards as well, read into the links I posted ! The OP asked about this PSU, I own 1 and cannot say for other boards but on my P6TD this thing does not work !

And the silverstone st1000-p smokes the TX950 and has better efficiency than a HX1000 !

No the Silverstne ST1000-p does not smoke or beat it in anyway, it is actually an average quality PSU that has a high failure rate. The Olimpia series was the last quality one form Silverstone. The ST-series is the "silence" series which sacrifices quality for quietness.

Yeah,theres a problem with the TX950 and asus motherboards.I bought one a few weeks ago to replace a TX750 which in turn was going into my kids pc.I spent 2 days trying to figure out why my pc wouldnt boot into either my xp or windows 7 partitions as it looked like a hd or cpu issue and to cut a long story short i popped the old psu in and all was ok again.Corsair said they`re looking into it with asus.Some people have had 2 or 3 replacements and none of them work in their asus mobos but work ok in some other makes.I build pc`s on a regular basis and have nearly 30 years of experience with them so know my way around a pc.
Mine is a rampage formula mobo and i was lucky enough that dabs gave me a full refund with no hassle after i explained the problem to them.I`m currently looking at the HX1000 watt corsair and considering that one as i heard its ok with asus boards.
