As someone who just experienced first psu failure ever in over 20 years of pc gaming i cant help but ask this.
Over the years i've been using many power supply units, most of them no name like tracer, pentagram, modecom etc... None of them ever failed me.
When i lastly needed more power i foolishly decided to buy Corsiar based on it's very good reputation. I picked TX 850w.
And it failed.
My first setup was c2duo e8400 on gigabyte ep45-ud3 with gtx460.
Pc wouldn't post properly, it held me on black screen for about 10 seconds, while ticking noise was heard from pc speaker, then it would post and restart on windows load.
As i said i never had psu fail on me before so i didn't even take psu failure into consideration. I simply thought my pc reached end of its lifetime so i ordered new motherboard, cpu, memory and graphics.
So today arrived my i7 4790k with gigabyte z97x-sli and gtx 760, i've put it all together only to hear the ticking noise from pc speaker again. This time it refused to go beyond bios post screen or even enter bios, was just ticking, posting and restarting.
So decided to RMA the corsair, only to find out i have to ship it to them to another country at my own expense. Basically cost of the half of new psu. Logitech sends couriers to pick up mouses that cost 20$ for RMA. Yet 150$ PSU i have to ship at my own expense?
Once again i wonder where does the good corsair reputation come from?
