750W Corsair RM750x Shift 80+ Gold Fully Modular ATX Power Supply $90 + Free Shipping

Garbage… corsair psus always fail.

Interesting take. I have used them several times to build PCs for myself, family, and friends... most of which were gaming PCs and have NEVER had one fail. They also have the best customer service in the business, so even if one did fail under warranty they've got you covered.

I thought the same, but today my RM550x bought in Feb 2021 failed on me - constant power cut during gaming. This time I'm buying the Seasonic from another tread and will initiate RMA with Corsair.

So.....you're saying that it failed, but it has a long warranty and you're going to talk to Corsair's excellent customer service? Sounds like a good review to me. LOL.

P.S. I doubt they'll give you a refund, that's not how warranties work. They'll probably send you a replacement. So maybe hold off on buying that Seasonic unless you just want to re-sell the replacement Corsair sends you.

I'vr never had a problem with Corsair PSU's Especially if you check the PSU tier list before buying https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

As a matter of fact I have been building PC's since 1991 and for a long while I bought the cheapest no name PSU's that were available ( didn't know any better) and even with $30 PSU's I have only ever had one issue. The issue was with a SeaSonic M12II 620 that blew the house fuse when the pc turned on (probably capaciters pulling too much) as if i powered it on the fuse blew then if i turned it on again it was fine. They replaced it under warranty so it worked out.

PSU Tier List > Product listing reviews >>>>> a single person's anecdotal experience on a PSU.

Outside of fan noise, a layman's opinion on a PSU is very binary, it works fine or it breaks. Every product fails, don't listen to someone because their product failed or didn't fail when they aren't able to ascertain a good reason. The % of failure is useful so you need a specific products review. The reason why it failed is the best, that's why we have a tier list that does has more EE knowledge.

And "name brand's" PSU sucks or is good is definitely a bad take. Corsair, Gigabyte, ASUS, have good and bad PSUs. Corsair SF600 and SF750 are also the most recommended SF PSUs within that wattage range.

Not sure why you are informing me of the tier list when I linked The PSU tier list in the very message your replying too so I obviously consult it https://static.slickdealscdn.com/ima...ies/tongue.gif
Yes my experience is anecdotal as I am only building PC's for home use and a few friends not running a business building thousands but my point was that for many years I bought whatever cheap no name PSU's that were in the discount computer shop and still haven't had many issues with PSU's. Of course I know how many watts I need I don't buy a 250W PSU and slap a bunch of hi wattage components on that build https://static.slickdealscdn.com/ima...ies/tongue.gif. I also recycle my PC's down the food chain I.E. I build a new gaming pc every 3-4 years and my gaming PC passes along to my wife ( she just uses the internet so doesn't need cutting edge) Then her old PC moves to the living room for use as a media PC. The media PC moves into one of my MAME arcades and the arcade PC moves down to the line to be a torrent server. So I do tend to keep the PC's I have built running for much longer lifespans than most average users. Also none of my PC's are ever turned off, I have monitors sleep but thats it. They all stay on 24/7 I also run a PC 's in my flight simulator, my golf simulator, my racing simulator, my pinball machine, one in a traditional arcade and a 2nd arcade that is using a large tv for use with light gun games. So I am not your typical home user that has an HP pavillion in the corner of the living room for the entire house use https://static.slickdealscdn.com/ima...ies/tongue.gif

I have a Corsair 600W Bronze still running perfectly after over 10 years, never had an issue. Can't speak for everyone I'm sure there are bad experiences, but so far corsair seems to be reliable for the most part from online perspectives. This is a 2021 model seems like, so if anything should be very solid of a PSU for being around for 3 years.

Garbage… corsair psus always fail.

This configuration looks limited to drawing air in from underneath the case, whereas a standard PSU would allow that option or drawing air from inside the case with the intake fan facing upward?
