You ain't helping ...
You said that TX-m is better than Vengeance Silver in 'almost all aspects'. We however do know from reviews that it (TX-M) :
- it has higher ripple, higher than all tier A units for that matter
- it's more noisy
- Edit: It's single rail in comparison with selectable mode on Vengeance Silver
I have an entire PRD for both TX-M and Vengeance Silver that outlines what components should be used, what margins there needs to be for efficiency, voltage regulation, etc.
Yes. Vengeance has a single/multiple +12V rail switch. Who does that matter to? Absolutely nobody because hyper-marketing has convinced people it's not necessary.
Yes. The TX-M is loud because of an air gap between the fan frame and the housing.
But the regulation and component selection inside the TX-M is superior to Vengeance. Which is why Corsair gives the TX-M a 7 year warranty instead of 5 years.
You do realize that Vengeance is only rated at 40°C while the TX-M is rated at 50°C, right?
PSU reviews, including Aris's, simply are not that thorough. It's like the whole CWT GPU vs. GPX. I can leverage the GPX platform and save $10 on the BOM, and although Aris might say it passes all of his tests and is a better value proposition than anything based off the GPU platform, I wouldn't feel confident using it because of the cheap components used inside. I literally have a lab full of GPX's that have blown up for a number of reasons, yet reviews are saying "it's good enough".
