That article refers to the previous HX1200i.
I have the new HX1200i model, they are similar but different PSUs.
My previous HX1200i (older model) exploded during a water loop test with only the Corsair pump connected.
It seems a known issue on the internet, at least if you search the internet there are a lot of posts of people with an exploded HX1200i during a water loop test.
I even wrote to Corsair when it happened asking them to inform users if this is a known issue because it's not good to see a PSU exploding on a PC that costs nearly 8000 euros without the monitor. XD
They said thanks, but not commented the problem.
Some people says that the problem depends on the fact that hx1200i was not able to handle high load on 5V/12V when no other load is connected on the main output, like in a water loop test.
Don't know if it has sense, I know that that PSU worked well for three years on a air cooled system with an aio, when I switched to a full loop, with the first water cool test with only the pump connected, it exploded after some hours.
But this is another problem and it's not related to this.
Just to say that I was having hard time with Corsair recently.
But I continue to love them.
My first Corsair product was a DDR (1) module.
ROFL, mine was also exploded during water loop test when it only run a single pump.
I wonder why and how?
But the bug im talking about is that a New PSU wont even boot the system or boot and than crash
The PSU I received as replacement had this issue,so i had to replace it again.
This time I went with MSI, they also have a digital PSU with USB, i think 1200 or 1300w and 12V nvidia plug, but its like 40% shorter, the issue i always had with 1200HXi is the size
