Go to PSU brands for 1000w or 1200w?

Steer away from the 2024 Corsair RMx series as there is something very wrong going on with them. There have been many failures of these new units.

Is this true? Where have you seen these reports? I was shortlisting a 1000W PSU and have the Corsair RM1000x ATX v3.1 on my shortlist so intrigued by your comment.

I've seen one failure on this forum and a couple on the Corsair subreddit just this week. Probably a very small fraction compared to units sold mind you but all appear to be the new version.

Wonder if it's teething issues. That particular unit seems to review really well!

Yeah I'm not too sure but not really wanting to find out either by firing one into my system.

I've decided. Think I'll be getting the NZXT C1000/C1200. I believe issues were common with noise and early failures on on eof the C1200 models from a bit of reading last night. The C1200 model number was PA-2G1BB-UK but is now PA-2G2BB-UK.

Anyone know what NZXT are like for RMA? Also is this UK based?
