Hey guys,
Sadly I’ve got a bit of a horror story, that left me absolutely paranoid on picking a new power supply...
Around a month ago my power supply Corsair HX750i have malfunctioned and killed absolutely everything inside, after only 1 year of use. No offence to Overclockers, but stupid me, I bought half the items from ******, as it was "cHeApEr"... and the funny thing was, that the first power supply they send me was faulty...On top of this tragedy I was foolish enough to trust their policies promising to cover manufacturer’s warranty...Which they didn’t, they refused to return the items stopping me going direct with manufacturers, they refused to exchange them and they simply scammed me by giving me only partial refund for power supply, motherboard and processor...
I have lost all faith in Corsair power supplies, I’m simply too scared to touch them after what happened. Can someone give me any advice on a good reliable brand for a power supply 850W-1000W? At this point I cant care less how much it costs...I had my eye on Seasonic Titanium series, that’s the only brand that offers 12 year warranty, but it’s out of stock everywhere!...Asus Rog Thor doesn’t look too bad either, so does EVGA SuperNOVA...I don’t know, I need help
 
****** has refused to give my items back, I have contacted Corsair explaining the situation and sadly they have told me that suppliers create their own Terms and Conditions and they CAN do whatever they want and Corsair have no power over that. It was my own mistake on trusting there advertisement saying that they cover 2-3 years manufacturer’s warranty, while in reality they only give you partial refund and replace the damaged into new ones and place them back on sale. Lesson learned for me i guess, next time i will go directly with manufacturers
 
EsaT the fist corsair hx750i they send me had a high pitch sound so i contacted them and asked for replacment, the second (different serial number) they send me was exactly the same. I rang them up again and i was told that its fine so i believed them. Im not sure if psu killed everything for sure, but i send them psu, motherboard and cpu because there was a clear burn mark around cpu and on cpu. I have tested gpu at my friends house, that was dead, memory should be ok and currently im in the process of returning corsair cooling h150i liquid as i suspect that died too... the only thing that upsets me the most is the fact that i built it just a year ago...
 
Im being forced to re-build my pc again and im already on the waiting list for gigabyte aorus 3080 xtreme, which has recomended 850w psu, 1000w is slightly overkill, but with 10+ year warranty and hopefully titanium i dont see too many downsides to going 1000w looking foward to the future
 
Ozone, im thinking about seasonic, seems to be a strong brand with the longest warranty of 12 years, they must trully believe in there quality i guess. Got no rush in buying it yet as i have no clue when gpu will be re-stocked.
Strocky, i have private messaged you the company, i dont want to upset overclockers as there must be a reason for them to blur the companys name, its E-b-u-y-e-r. Hopefully this wont get me in trouble
