Longest you've run an ATX PSU?

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.
 
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.
 
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 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
 
Seasonic 850 w , bought from here 2013, (getting really loud now) getting replaced tomorrow , with another 850
 
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
 
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
 
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.
 
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 :D
 
5 years was a corsair rm850x, then it died, lucky corsairs warranty was excellent they even gave me a upgrade to the i model.
