Not at all.

The first time around when he reviewed the SilverStone 750W, it died. So he got another one and re-did the review.

And, no offense, but Tom's Hardware is a joke. You can't trust anything they do because all of their reviews are completely biased.

The reviews and testing he puts the PSU's through prove to be very accurate.
And for all of the fanboys of the OCZ GameXStream, and I know there are a boat load of them on Overclock.net, he put the GameXStream in the Tier 3 for a reason. It is a good PSU, but there are many PSU's of higher quality and reliability to supply unrippled power to your components.

You sound like an evangelist.

How many of the same PSU's does he actually test?

Are you serious???
have you ever looked at his website.

With every PSU on that list, he has done an extensive hands on test.

You didn't answer the question. I've seen the site before, does he test multiple PSU's of the same model?

I'm sorry, i didnt understand the question. from my understanding, he usually does.

he definitely did multiple tests with the SilverStone 750W because the first tests didnt seem right to him, so he got a second one.

And Tom's Hardware doesn't? Because if you say they don't then you are saying they are lying when they test the PSUs at max load for a couple weeks straight.

I didn't word the question right the first time anyways. Although he does thorough testing at first glance, I was just weary that he might only test one PSU of each model and the figures might not be representative of the whole line.

I don't really think the list is a good basis for users to go by because most of the tier 1 and 2 PSU's can't even be found in the US and if they are, you have to pay a premium for it. The Zippy's for example, MGE's, Seventeam, Enhance. All of those are near impossible to find in the US and a premium has to be paid usually. Not to mention Canada or other countries with popularity in the modding community that have enough trouble as it is getting reliable regular PC parts.

I think a list for recommendation would be better more on the casual home user basis, like the XS Tiered list, the PSU Reference Lists from Tomshardware forums. The Tomshardware one even has links to the Newegg product pages and links to reviews where they're available.

A list like this is thorough, but catered more towards select buyers that are the types of people that focus the majority of their budget on PSU, which isn't really realistic. There's far too much overkill on recommended power supplies.

I know that you are banned from Jonnyguru, but if you can still access the web page there is an entire list of places where you can cheaply purchase PSUs off of his list in the US.

Availability and pricing are only a concern for people who are limited to newegg.com.
