Longest you've run an ATX PSU?

[FloppyPoppy]

How come you replace them so often?

No reason other than i have a tendency to enjoy trying different tech, i will swap between desktops and laptops and everything in between. I tend to split a lot of systems and sell them. It's nothing to do with not trusting the hardware it's just something i enjoy.

Had Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 700w from 2009 to 2019, pretty good going. It probably still works if I could find it.

I had my original Corsaiw 520w die a week ago or so. Was long retired from my machine and had been happily plugging away on my father in laws office machine. That's about 15 years or so.

My parents inherited a BP550 plus from me which recently decided to kill the contents of their PC, just shy of 14 years old.

 

[D-Ranged]

I have one in my NAS which has got to be at least 10 years old.

Corsair AX750 here, bought in 2011 and still going strong. It's the only component left from that build that I'm still using, after I retired my old hard drives a couple of years back. I believe this PSU was made by Seasonic. I don't think I've ever drawn more than 4-500W from it so I expect I can keep using it for years to come without much fear.

I have a Bitfenix formula gold PSU that's been happily purring along for 6 years.

 

[ATIorNvidia]

I have a EVGA G2 550 that has been in use for ~8 years or so.

 

[arknor]

I kept my last one for about 12 years, I only replaced it cos I was worried about the fan inside it dying at some point and me not noticing

 

[Rab]

Seasonic 850 w , bought from here 2013, (getting really loud now) getting replaced tomorrow , with another 850

 

[edgedemon]

Sometime over the next 4 weeks I will finally decommission my Coolermaster 1000W PSU that I bought in 2011 - it has been good as gold and will probably be replaced with the 750W SFX version

 

[hairyfeet]

9 years and counting on a superflower leadex platinum 750w

 

[david25]

Just replaced a Silverstone Nightjar (passive) 400w after 10 years, its still working with the new user

 

[im4gine3]

Got a Corsair AX760i which i use purely to kickstart pumps when bleeding my loop. Think that was released in 2012.

Also have a Enermax Galaxy 1000w which was released back in 2006-ish

 

[Superficial]

Still have a Corsair HX620w from 2007 powering my current rig in my sig - so not exactly a light load.

Literally took delivery of a CM - MWE 1250w V2 ATX 3.0 Gold yesterday to replace it but, to be honest, it seems a shame to shelve it as it's still going strong.

Can see quite a few Corsairs from that Era still in use in this thread.

 

[russell664]

Seasonic 1000w bought in 2016.

 

[Paracelsus]

Corsair HX520 for about..13 years? Never had any issues, and I did want to find out just how long it would last, but saw a good deal on a bigger, more efficient PSU and thought best not to play PSU russian roulette with my main ring so jumped on it

 

[jeffspuds]

Around 13 yeats

 

[clone]

5 years was a corsair rm850x, then it died, lucky corsairs warranty was excellent they even gave me a upgrade to the i model.
