I got this rock solid power supply for a research computer. One of my goals with the computer was to reduce noise within the system so I wanted to give it the cleanest, most reliable power I could. I read up on the AX series from Corsair and thought this one would be a good fit for my power needs. Being fully modular is a truly wonderful thing and makes installation a lot nicer. I get VERY stable voltages, great temperatures and silent operation.
Lot of people will tell you that you don't need to spend too much on a power supply as long as you get something "good enough" but keep in mind that whatever power supply you get becomes a single-point of failure for the whole pc. Add that to the fact noise and power spikes over time can slowly but surely degrade and kill other components.
For this build, I want to have a bunch of parts that I know I can rely on so I never have to think about them. This is that power supply.
