Still a surprise with a 2 yr old psu? I'm waiting for that day ... 10th year on a 4 rail Antec... fingers crossed lol.

Yeah I don't think there is any physical issues with my old PSU, 2 years old is still fairly new to me....think it's more to do with my set up, bought this PSU for the 3700x build I had which also included a RTX 2070 Super...since then I've done a fair bit of upgrading and think I was just pushing the PSU to it's limits and must be quite sensitive when it gets to those limits...all sorted now
 
I digress, but i fell foul of this years ago. Couldn't afford a posh psu, so went for a 500W 'builder' brand to run a 6800GT. No chance. Instant shut down even on a 67W card .... psu had two rails pushing out around 20A max. Total garbage.
You still see 850W cheapo psu's on the rainforest that would likely struggle with a 3060.

2024, you thinking it's a bad batch of PSU's or something?

Not so much that but because the Corsair RM750x etc line of PSU's have been around for ages I know folks who have bought what they thought were new PSU's when in fact they were quite a bit older. Yours is in fact 2 years old - the 1st two characters are the year and the 2nd two are the week, so yours in 2020 week 24. Similar to Intel CPU's in that the 1st character is the year and the next two characters are the week.
