PSU brands with UK RMA

[f300]

I'm looking to buy a new PSU soon. As they often have long warranties I'd like one with a UK based RMA, just in case. I've had failed hardware in the past where the retailer has refused to help, meaning it would have to be sent abroad incurring high shipping costs. I would like to avoid this in future.

Unfortunately most manufacturers don't seem to publish this information, or at least I can't find it! I'm hoping for some help filling in this list:

Antec - ???
Bequiet! - Germany (https://www.bequiet.com/en/warranty)
Bitfenix - ???
Coolermaster - ???
Corsair - UK (http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?t=138490)
EVGA - UK (https://images.evga.com/warranty/shipping/PSU_UK_Shipping_Guidelines.pdf)
Riotoro - ???
SeaSonic - UK (https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/posts/32497642)
Silverstone - ???
Super Flower - ???
Thermaltake - ???
XFX - ???

Thanks!

Hello,

RMA for the UK is the be shipped to our UK warehouse.

Thank you.
Best regards,

Thank you, that's good news as I was considering some Seasonic models!

I believe Superflower is send to OCUK and then they send it to Taiwan after the first year.

I think Antec is Rotterdam, maybe @Ace Modder our Antec rep can confirm this.


Out of your list I would only look at psu's from Seasonic, Corsair, Antec, EVGA, Bitfenix Formula series and maybe Riotoro and even then only the Gold rated and higher models from each.

BeQuiet tends to be overpriced and short warranties. I only have one as it was a review sample.
Silverstone tends to have short warranties.
Superflower tends to have short warranties.
Coolermaster psu's tend to be hit or miss with regards to quality. They have churned out some awful psu's and not that many good ones.
Thermaltake is similar to Coolermaster and now they are adding RGB to everything. No thanks!!
XFX has good units many of which are Seasonic built but are let down by awful customer service.

With the likes of Seasonic, Corsair, EVGA and Antec offering a 10 year warranty (Certain Seasonic and Corsair units have 12 years) on a lot of their psu's it's about time that Superflower, Silverstone and BeQuiet matched them. Even Antec's and Bitfenix's mid range psu's are being offered with 5 and 7 years warranty now. You can pay £305 for a BeQuiet 1200w Platinum psu or even £420 on a Superflower 8Pack edition 2000w psu and still only have a pathetic 5 year warranty. It's disgraceful. Antec offers 7 years on their £74 550w Earthwatts Pro and Seasonic offers 10 years on all Focus Plus Gold units which can be had from £84 on OCUK. EVGA offers 10 years on it's G2 and G3 units which are basically tweaked Superflower Leadex and Leadex II psu's which Superflower only offer 5 and 7 years respectively. If EVGA can offer 10 years then why not Superflower? If companies such as BeQuiet, Superflower etc insist on charging a premium price for their psu's then they should offer the warranty to match.

Thank you for the advice! I'm definitely only considering Gold rated or higher and am reading reviews on JonnyGuru/Kitguru/Toms etc as I want to get something decent.

I completely agree about the warranties - I was initially considering Bequiet! until I saw the prices and warranty lengths vs other brands.
