Pogomonkeh, can you give me a way to contact you directly? I'd like to assist you with your RMA and find out why this PSU failed in this manner.

Thanks, YB.

Great to see help being offered in this way.

Aint the Corsair PSU's just Seasonic PSU's that are rebranded? If so maybe it could have been a bad batch?

They are built by Seasonic, yes. They use the S12 design for the main unit but with beefed up M12 modular connectors and apparantly higher quality components throughout if memory serves but maybe Yellowbeard would like to correct me if I'm wrong.

It is unfortunate that the PSU has gone but such things can happen with any electrical component and hopefully it won't have taken anything else with it as that is one of the marks of a quality PSU - if it can die nice and quietly.

and yes my next PSU will be a Corsair after reading this post... that is top class service.

willhub · 29 May 2007 at 16:56

I must admit, it makes me feel more confident about the Corsair PSU's if we have someone from Corsair on the forum

so how many corsairs have died so far?

Looking for you now. Keep in mind we have a time difference, most likely 5 or 6 hours. My MSN info is in my public profile here. Find me at your convenience and we'll get this sorted ASAP.

To all the other posts here, thanks for the compliments. We try

impressed

Clearly a high level of service with corsair here, definitely pitch the new rig with a HX620.

furnace · 29 May 2007 at 18:35

Yeah snap, was a bit cautious after reading the OP but definately getting the 620w corsair for me birthday after seeing the tech support post here

Right, I took some photos of my 8800 and Corsair, not installing them for an hour yet.

I am abit worried, I heard something moving about in the PSU when I picked it up, wasent the fan, might of just been abit of glue or something hopefully. I guess I can say bye to my hiper now, this Corsair PSU looks awsome

Its worrying me now, I move the PSU side to side and I hear something click, like a switch or something :s. is this normal? I am gonna power up the ocmputer with no graphics card in to see if its safe, dont wanna fry my graphics card now do I?.

pogomonkeh · 30 May 2007 at 12:33

goin to ship it back to Ocuk today.

Have you tried it, I am going to try mine with no graphics card see if its ok. hopefully its nothing to worry about

I did not get mine from OcUK tho.

Just move it around again, secure the atx cable tho like grab hold of em, I find there is no clicking then.

pogomonkeh · 4 Jun 2007 at 16:28

Hey ho, been while now but posted the Psu on thursday Ocuk got it on Friday and today got Email saying:-

"The item has been sent back to manufacturer for repair or replacement". "This will be sent on to you as soon as we receive it back."

So hopefully i get new 1 this week and can get back to some gaming and can install me 8800gts just sitting ther teasing me

a friend of mine brought the hx 520 from clockers on thursday and when to put it all together and the power supply was an out of box failure. he was gutted as he was looking forward to a weekend of fun but that never happened.

i no your not ment to ask but i take he can just send it back to clockers as it under 7days old?
