So around 8 and a half years ago I purchased a then-top-of-the-line AX1500i PSU.

Last night it went pop. After initially thinking it took a graphics card with it, it seems the damage may be limited to 2 hard drives instead, waiting on an external caddy to test this.

Anyway, as it turns out, this unit has a 10 year warranty on it.

So, submitted an RMA, lets see if nearly a decade later Corsair

1) Honor the warranty
and
2) Lets take bets on what it will be replaced with.


The 2 logical options seem to either be a HX1500, or, a AX1600i.

Power wise the HX1500 is a 1-for-1 swap, however the PSU that died is from their AX line, so the only replacement is a 1600i at nearly double the cost.


Bets in OCUK, what will the replacement be?
 
They were good with me with my RMA claims, I did do the advance replacement, but with Brexit this might be different, as I had to send it back to the Netherlands, this might have changed though.

But I originally had an AX650, this was replaced with a HX860I i believe, which was then RMAd for a HX1000i. Was definitely worth the original expense of the AX model for the longer warranty period.
 
Brilliant with my rma on a five year old rm850x, took about two weeks and got a upgrade as mine was out of stock at the time RM850i.
Pictures of serial number and the psu with all the cables was needed and the rma is uk based.
 
Corasir are generally pretty good. Also, if you cant find the purchase email/invoice/whatever, you can go back to the reatiler and they will have a record of the purchase tied to you bank card etc. so it's not too much hassle.

That's assuming you bought it from a legit place like OCUK, CCL etc. If you bought a fake from ali express or wish.com, your'e screwed.
 
Should have asked you want Q- Tec gold dual fan
