Nothing is wrong with my power supply. My flatmate is looking for one so I said I'd ask on here.

Good Brands
Spoiler for Rawr:
What follows is not a list of the best power supplies nor the only good power supplies. These are merely some enthusiast grade power supplies built around good designs with a proven track record that are available across much of the planet under one brand name or another.

As you see many different brands will sell models made by one PSU manufacturer and all based around a single platform. Be aware though that these are not always identical units. The cabling, connectors, cooling scheme, capacitor brand and quality control can differ between brands. Also warranty length and availability of local customer service in case of a problem are justifiable considerations when making a purchasing decision.

Model numbers and 12V ratings for these units can be found here.

Channel Well Tech PUC platform
Note: Rating temperatures are 50°C. These are all quad rail design with the exception of the Corsair which is dual rail with very high current limits.

Thermaltake Toughpower 1000W/1200W/1500W
Corsair HX1000
Gigabyte Odin Pro 1200W
LC Power Legion 1000W
LC Power Monolith 1200W
Istar PD1 1200W
InWin Commander 1200W/1500W
Ikonic Vulcan 1000W/1200W
Xclio GreatPower 1000W/1200W

Enhance ENS-05xx platform
Note: Rating temperatures are as noted. Comes in quad rail or dual rail with very high current limits.

Akasa PowerMax 850W/1000W 50°C
Antec TruePower Quatro 850W/1000W 50°C
Zalman 850W/1000W 45°C

Enhance EPS-0300 platform:
Note: Rating temperature is 50°C. Six rails.

CoolerMaster Real Power Pro 850W/1000W/1250W

Seasonic M12 platform:
Note: Rating temperatures are as given below. The Corsair versions are all single rail despite the claims on the label. The Seasonic versions are also effectively single rail (possibly a dual rail with 30A or more current limits).

Seasonic M12 500HM, 600HM, 700HM 50°C
Seasonic X900 SS-900HP 25°C
Corsair HX520/HX620/TX650 50°C
PCPower & Cooling Silencer 610W/750W 40°C

Channel Well Tech PSH platform:
Note: Rating temperatures are 50°C. Different brands and wattage levels feature single, triple or quad rails with good connector distribution across the multiple rail versions. Actual multiple 12V rail OCP levels are somewhat higher than as rated.

2the Max GPX 600W/750W/850W
Aerocool Horsepower 650W/750W
Chieftec Super 600W/650W/700W/750W
Chieftec Turbo 600W/650W/700W/750W
Coba Nitrox 500W/600W/650W/750W
Corsair VX550/TX750/TX850
Gigabyte Odin Pro 550W/680W/800W
Gigabyte Odin GT 550W/680W/800W
Hiper Type-M 630W/780W/880W
Hiper Type-R MkII 680W/880W
Ikonik Vulcan 650W/850W
In-Win Commander 650W/750W/850W
Istar PD1 750W/850W
LC Power Hyperion 700W
*LC Power Archangel "850W"
Mtek PSH 550W/650W/750W
Thermaltake Toughpower 600W/650W/700W/750W/850W
Thermaltake Purepower RX 450/500W/550W/600W
Thermaltake Toughpower XT 650W/750W/850W
Xclio GreatPower 500W/550W/600W/650W/700W/750W/850W
Xigmatek NRP 650W/750W/850W

This is really a 750W model, not 850W as claimed by LC Power


Spoiler for Cheap and decent:
Seasonic S12II platform
Note: Budget platform with lower tier build quality and mid grade output quality but still acceptable for most applications. Rating temperatures are as given. They are all single rail design despite the labeling.

Antec Earthwatts 380W 50°C
*Antec 'Original OEM' Earthwatts 430W/500W 50°C
Arctic Cooling Fusion 550W 50°C
Corsair CX400/VX450/HX450 50°C
PCPower & Cooling silencer 310W/360W/370W/420W/470W/500W 40°C
Seasonic S12II 330W/380W/430W/500W 50°C
Silver Power Gorilla 400W/500W 50°C

You need to put the spoiler name in the spoiler tag in quotes for the spoiler tag to work.

Code:
