In Win Shows Off P-II Line of ATX 3.0 Power Supplies
In Win showed off the P-II line of power supplies offering ATX 3.0 + PCIe Gen 5 specs support, and 80 Plus Gold efficiency. The lineup includes four models based on Wattage—the P75II (750 W), P85II (850 W), P105II (1050 W), and the P130II (1300 W). The top-of-the-line 1300 W model comes with two 16-pin ATX 12VHPWR connectors that can deliver 600 W continuous power and excursion-tolerance within PCIe Gen 5 spec, whereas the other three models include one of these connectors. The 1050 W and 1300 W models also include six 6+2 pin PCIe power, whereas the lower models include four of these. Under the hood, these feature single +12 V rail design, and most common electrical protections. In Win didn't reveal pricing, but is backing these PSUs with a 5-year warranty.

Yea I know, most people with even a vague familiarity of pc building will know which connector goes to what, but given the way people are nowadayz, you practically have to make everything idiot-proof or risk getting sued out of existence for your oversight....
I remember this exact issue happening in my hometime a few years ago, and the judge awarded the claimant over $5k in damages to replace his pc, PLUS another $10k for his "pain, suffering, and emotional distress" from having to watch his machine go up in flames.......an no, I don't remember the mfgr's involved, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't one of the mainstream ones...
Look at the photos more carefully, and imagine using the wrong connector - square pegs don't go into chamfered holes.
After all, In Win's current P-series power supply models have standard markings identifying each type of power power if you look at the product photos on the company website.
Many readers in the PC Q&A forums have never been to a tradeshow so they don't realize that showing new products using pre-production units is actually a common practice.
Warranty is pureley a marketing bulletpoint and in your case it clearly worked. ;)
If you want longer warranty you just have to pay more. Most of the costs come from customer support or user error anyway, not from repairing of replacing a defective product.
5yrs= we have no faith in these units. Simple.
The rest is just noise.
That has to be one of the most simple statements I've ever read.
Warranty and quality absolutely run hand in hand. Marketing very specifically uses the warranty period as a critical selling point. When was the last time you saw a high end, quality unit from Seasonic, Superflower, Corsair, EVGA, or ANY high end manufacturer marketed with a 5yr warranty? Never. They are all successfully marketed with 10 to 12 yr warranties. Why? Because they stand behind their products knowing they will by and large, OUTLAST the warranty. That's called believing in your quality PSU my gullible man from Inwin land.
5 and 7yr warranties are relegated to their mid and low end units for the same reason. The very same reason that your beloved Inwin has tagged their brand new, shiny, ATX 3.0 units with a 5yr warranty. They know how long it's expected to last and warranty it accordingly. If it were otherwise, they would have stepped up and matched the bigboys. So unless these Inwin, atx 3.0 units (if they even are), miraculously turn out to be flextronic built...lol. They are either counting on only the uneducated and ignorant to buy them. Or they will sell them for next to nothing. They likely won't sell.
You have lost any and all credibility with that statement. Later.
