      Hello Josh,

      We're sorry to hear that the PSU stopped working so soon. Were you able to try testing the power supply separately to see if the PSU has stopped working of if it's another component in your system that could be causing issues? If you'd like assistance with this, please feel free to reach out to our support team: support.corsair.com

    Excellent power supply and was more power than I was needing but leaves me with plenty of room for upgrades on my system. It’s fully modular so I don’t have to worry about damaged cables and I can keep the cables cleaned up.

    Installed the PSU with the included cables and the PC didn't start at all. After hours of troubleshooting, it was determined that this Corsair PSU was defective out of the box. The PC started right up when the old EVGA PSU was put back in the system.

    Happy with it

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My previous PSU, a Rosewill Hive-750S 750W, died out, almost burned out my GTX 1080. PC crashed and found that the PCI-e connections burned out on both ends, melted the plastic housings on both ends. Got this after doing some research, and haven't had any issues over the last few days. I'd never installed a PSU before, but this was fairly easy, just a bunch of plug and play once you know where each cable goes.

    Great Power Supply

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is a great power supply and I have never had any issues with it. I definitely recommend getting a power supply like this one because it is fully modular. Which means that instead of all of the cables being build into the psu, it actually has ports for each individual cable meaning you can plug in only the cables you need so you don’t have to find a place to shove them into.
