Both are real nice PSUs and all the reviews for both PSUs are good, but which one is better?
Both have quad-rails, modular, and have powerful components, but the SILVERSTONE ST75F is not only cheaper (it can be found for around $150) but offers more watts.
So which one is better? Does SILVERSTONE ST75F barely beat out because it is cheaper?

I'm going to vote Corsair on that one :)
Uh, the HX does not have quad rails. The label says 3 rails, but in actuality it is a single rail. I think.
I'll say Silverstone for this one.

Isn't the Corsair one of those Seasonic units where it's labeled as multi-rail, but the rails have no OCP so it can operate as a single?

I would have picked Silverstone if it was the "ZF", but in this case Im going with Corsair.
On a completely unrelated note, Wolf, I'm not sure which one has the 85C Hitachi on the primary amongst the two units, any idea?

Both, The corsair 620HX and the ST75ZF uses a 105ºC Hitachi capacitors (1x 470uF 400V the corsair and 2 x 420V 390mF the silvestone). Don't know about the ST75F, but it doesn't look (http://www.overclock3d.net/gfx/articles/2006/10/18105004631l.jpg) an hitachi capacitor.

The ST75F is probably a Teapo.
