I agree. Also these guys are really new, wet behind the ears new. But you have to start somewhere

My very first PSU was an Ultra unit from Tiger Direct(965BE). Within a week I was getting random shutdowns. As it was my first PC I brought it to my local PC repair store.. I went back the next day and was informed it was my PSU. The next PSU I bought was the Corsair 850TX. The next PSU I bought after that was a HX1200I. Both of those units are fulling working in running systems. I can't speak for today but Corsair mid to high end PSUs in my experience are pretty much bullet proof. I see that there are some questions about Multi rail. It was actually great for Mutli Gpu setups, especially when we started getting over 200w power draw for each card. I had to use Multi rail with my Vega 64 crossfire array. If you have 1 card though it is not as important.

Why? Tell me, please... I'm just curious (because i'm using GP-AP1200PM with no issues).
P.S. Corsair capacitors dried out after 3 years on my Corsair AX1500 PSU.

It's fine. Gigabyte earned a bad rep with an earlier model that quite literally, exploded under load, kind of making it a meme. Your model does not feature such excitement fortunately, but I think better bang for your buck exists. No danger though.

That's an unusual and equally unfortunate failure of a really solid unit
How did the RMA go?
I honestly thought you were joking about the gb suggestion!
Gigabyte has developed THE worst reputation in the PSU business over the last year. Most people literally wouldn't use a GB power supply if it was given to them. Heres a link to gigabytes self inflicted woes.
Gamers Nexus expose GIGABYTE power supplies EXPLODING, 50% are DOA
GIGABYTE GP-P850GM & GP-P750GM power supplies are exploding, so GIGABYTE has released a public statement addressing the issues.

I live in really fucked up country (especcialy now, guess what is it country - we live now in real "Idiocracy world", but our Camacho is old, bold and sadistic paranoid dwarf
), that not point in my profile, of course. And i sold PSU (with all papers) to guy, who going to immigrate to USA. Guess RMA is ok, but don't know. Sorry for bad English.

interesting, I'm not doubting you but that series uses very high end caps found in most other high series from other brands/oems

Fair enough, although most all my computers are running on power supplies without power factor correction and I'm not about to replace them.

Make sure you use corsair cables with the PSU you're getting.
DO NOT just plug in your current cabling into the Corsair. It can die out instantly

Do you happen to know what brand of capacitors (for reference)?
I tend to recap my old power supplies, re-oil the fan and expect them to then last a few decades more.

I have Antec hcg 850m the old version never had an issue with it since I bought it ex-display still in a plastic wrap for €120. This was more than 5 years old and still going in my system. I can't fault it in any way

Off the top of my head they should be Nippon 105c rated. Someone can look up the exact model.
