How does warranty work for an RMA replacement unit?

[trickycurve]

Specifically with a Corsair PSU.

Some people may have seen a thread I posted in this sub a month ago about my PC acting up (not POST'ing). Well, I ended up buying an EVGA Supernova G2 650W for about £90 because why the hell not, but unfortunately it didn't fix my issue. When I received the RMA replacement back I was surprised to find a Corsair AX 760W, which is more premium than the unit I sent back and £70 more than the EVGA unit I purchased (price checked on the rainforest).

Obviously the EVGA is a fine PSU so I'm going to keep it and not open the Corsair so I can sell it as new, but I'm a little concerned about how the warranty situation would be handled in future if it started acting up. I never purchased the 760W (and there was no note/invoice in the shipping box) so how could I, or whoever I sell it to, prove that it was brand new and presumably within warranty?

Cheers!

I shouldn't think it would matter, just explain it's a warranty replacement and if anyone needs to ever RMA the replaced unit, all they need to do is tell Corsair that and it will be fine.

Also quite few manufacturers apparently acknowledge warranty period automatically for promised duration starting from manufacturing time.
