Or Corsair RAM
I found quite the opposite. They have always been good buys in the price category I was after.I'm sure they are perfectly fine, it's just that whenever I have needed to buy a PSU there are better ones for similar money.

As far as im aware they had a bad batch of their 1000w+ psu's, cant remember exactly which ones but aside from that their is nothing wrong with them. They're great psu's tbh.what exactly is wrong with Corsair PSUs?
Been running Corsair PSU for 10+ years and never had trouble?
@_ds how is your RMA going mate.
Hope you are making progress.

I thought it was only the 1200W units?HX1000s it was an I got one of the exploding ones lol. RMA'ed it and sold the sealed replacement and bought a Superflower instead as lost the trust.

Damn I’m using a HX1000 Platinum. No issues with it so far, touch wood.Maybe the recall was but I sure had an HX1000 go kablammo in a big way. Massive capacitor ripped a load of others off inside the psu with lot of smoke. Found others with same issue. Normally I would replace a cap if it is just 1 but yeah lost a few other surface mounted items too.
So there was a recall for the HX1000, got a link?The HX1200i issue was not about exploding, none of them ever exploded, that recall was because the system would not boot - you'd plug the psu in and the pc would simply not start up

So the 1200W units only then.
Wow bet you crapped yourself when that went off haha! I've only ever had one that exploded and sparked its nuts off, that was a Seasonic 850w. Seasonic replaced under warranty and i sold it on.HX1000s it was an I got one of the exploding ones lol. RMA'ed it and sold the sealed replacement and bought a Superflower instead as lost the trust.
Asus ROG have ones with a power draw reading on the side via a screen. Pretty handy if your psu isn't covered by a shroud by your case.Only reason I went with Corsair PSU was to get power usage reading in windows. Are there other brands that can do that.?
Ah i didn't know icue could do that, i literally only use icue for my ram.I like that I can see the details (power in, power out) from my Corsair Rmi 1000 . I didn't have a PSU before that I could get details from (in this case, using icue)

Did you read my post which you quoted?I never said anything about HX1000, that was OP.
