Need help choosing a new PSU

[Tackle_Berry]

My 11 year old Corsair 850w has died and I’m looking to replace it for £200 or less. Ideally looking for one with a 10 year guarantee (where the RMA service is good) and a minimum of 850w.

I plan on using this PSU for any future builds over the next 10 years so I am assuming I should be looking for one with ATX 3.0 and PCIE5. Some of these I have looked at appear to have very mixed reviews about noise and the fan speeding right up on 30% / 40% loads.

What should I be looking to buy?

Thanks

Which model of Corsair was it if you don't mind me asking?

AX850

Any decent PSU should have a 10 year warranty now. Seasonic used to have a good reputation for UK RMA, but not sure if they still do. Their ATX 3.0/PCIE5 PSUs are rather expensive though, Corsair's SHIFT prices seem competitive @ OCUK (£135 for 850), but you need a case that is compatible with the side mounted modular panel.

I did look at the Shift, I think it would be fine in my case however it looks like it doesn’t have proper 12VHPWR on the PSU, it just comers with an adapter for it.
