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.

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.
