I have a Corsair HX750 (the old black and blue one) still running in my gaming rig. I’m fact, my whole gaming PC is from 2013 expect the GPU where it died and was replaced with an RX570 some time ago. It does chug a bit now tbh and has no TPM so stuck on Windows 10. Not a big problem yet though.

What’s more notable about the PSU is that I bought it second hand in 2013, so I don’t actually know how old it is!

Don’t skimp on your PSU, good ones do generally last. No idea if Corsair is still in that category now though.

I had an Amiga 1200 that was still functional when I sold it a couple years ago, had an 040 accelerator and 120MB HDD.

Bought in 1994 for £349 (A1200 only) which I saved up by washing dishes in the local pubs kitchen for half a year.

So it's power brick must have been 27+ years old at the time of sale. Believe it still works today so nearly 30 years old.

My current power supply is 7 years old, but I ALWAYS buy a new one whenever I build a new rig.

I'm building a new rig in a couple of months, in October or November, with a 7800X3D and a 7900XT with 64GB of DDR5.
