Was having a tidy and found my old ocz 550watt psu, forgot about this.

Running some ancient gold rated psus in 2 of the kids pcs, still works fine, not entirely sure if there is a point of failure with normal use

Corsair RM850 is now in its 11th year. I feel that is plenty of time so it will be retired on the next build.

I had a Hiper 780W Type-M from 2008 until 2020. I got lucky with that one - apparently the Hiper PSUs from that period were notorious for going pop.

Corsair HX 750 I've had since October 2009, so 15 years and used everyday.

I've got a pico psu that has been running what originally was an old Llano APU, and few years ago upgraded to a 2400g APU, I guess thats 13 years or so for such a dinky bit of kit. I feel it's time to upgrade to something more for gaming as my boy is older now, but it certainly wont power anything newer. shame

I got about 12 years out of a 1300w Super Flower before selling it on.

I got my EVGA supernova g2 750 in late 2014, so nearly 10 years now. I don't have any reason to replace it

i had one of those, um 600W or 620w i dont remember. i ended up selling it.
the corsair 620hx is in the cupboard. used it for about 2 years
older version 850hx also in the cupboard used it for 11 years. no probs but just changed it because it was 'old' (2009) to a 850hxi (in use for about 1 year now)
seasonic 750w gold (sold, barely used, but also very good)
antec signature 850w (in the cupboard, made by delta) used it for a couple of years. very good that one.
EVGA 850 P2 - currently using. it's 6+ years old now (leadex platform i believe)
had an absolute fail of a psu from china (think it was called a top power) 1000W nominal but was tested and found to fry itself at about 800W. bad design, very noisy fan profile . um its in the cupboard. from the early naughties about the same time corsair brought out their hx line.
had/have a bit of a psu fetish. especially earlier on in the 2000's the search was for a psu that was relatively silent. we are spoiled for choices these days.
sure have been silly and wasteful with psu purchases...

air con. - 20 years still in use.
fridge/freezer - 20 years still in use.

I still have one of these not needed to even replace the fan in it.
I purchased from new when it was first released.
I remember watching a video with Jonnyguru and he said a psu if built correctly should have no issues 20-25 years with the only issue being the fan.
