BTW, can you recommend some PSUs upto 2k and 3k range ? I know 2k is not a good budget for a quality psu but still psus from big brands should be at-least better from generic psus.

else antec vp450p for 2.8k

I thought of these two before but is there any review for BP300P ? Is there any seasonic unit available under 2k ?
BTW, for a upto 3k PSU you can also consider Seasonic Eco 400.

There is no Seasonic unit under 2k

Honestly, that's not a review at all. Only the components were being mentioned and some colourful way of inaccurate testing. A power supply testing and reviewing is way too specific and any other way does more harm than good. This is how a review should be done :

Why everybody is suggesting Antec VP rather than the newer Corsair CS,RM series PSU's. I really cannot understand. Seasonic RMA is somewhat troublesome in India AFAIK but Seasonic is the best in PSU's. Corsair RMA is excellent in India.

Antec vp 450p/Seasonic s12 520w is still better than cxv2 430 ,cxv2 500 Because CX series is a budget corsair models which is made by CWT and uses Taiwanese Samxon capacitor.

Tirupati Enterprises does not have sales offices in Tier 2 cities and let alone RMA centers.

bp300p is released for Asian market and it is difficult to find a "good" review of it especially for that reason.

RM series is very costly and can not be recommended over other solid units.

I don't know but why PSU manufacturers are making special "Asian" version with inferior quality .. seasonic eco though a good series but had cheaper components compared to the S12 II series .. seriously we need more psu manufacturer here.

The same reason why people buy Rs. 500/- power supply. People want cheap cheap cheap power supply little do people realize that you end up compromising in quality. You simply can't have everything and expect it to do a good job.

Same reason for that specific RM psu with 'gold' certification. Corsair George made a comment that corsair made that move and phase out TX because of the people. TX series is technically superior but non modular to keep the costs down. A reasonable compromise. But people wanted 'gold' certification and on top of it wanted modular. The components are of lower quality than TX series, but it didn't matter to them since they got gold certification and modular- something that would attract number of buyers. Its only real psu reviews and people who analyse things properly which usually gets posted in forums like overclock.net that people get to know. Other than that, its a business move.

To a large extent, I somewhat agree with corsairgeorge's comment. Even in our Indian forums people recommend power supplies because of the brand and RMA rep, however the rate of RMA which has tremendously increased is something which was conveniently overlooked because according to some, it didn't matter unless the service was bad. One forgets that aio wc units and psu's warranty only applies for those components, and are not responsible if it damages any other components in the system. Even in digit magazines, the VS series power supply is religiously recommended on multiple counts. As it is no1 has the equipments to test power supplies in India where companies conveniently can push those India/China specific psu because of the brand name. It becomes worse when a mainstream magazine recommends that without any reference to proper testing.
