Top critical review
3.0 out of 5 starsIt blew up in three months

Since I learned to build computers and looking through youtube at how other people build their computers, for some reason people always chose the Corsair brand for power supplies. I always heard good reviews and good comments of the PSU's and people favored them for being "supposedly" built not cheaply, made out of good parts and computer capacitors. Well after three months after I purchased it the PSU blew, I had let the computer on during the night because I was downloading some Steam games and was updating the some other games as well. Around 5 am this morning, I woke up to hear a huge pop, at first I thought someone from the outside had thrown something at my window and I went to look but then I smelled something burning, I then looked at my computer then I noticed the computer was turned off when I know for a fact I never put the computer to sleep. I went to my computer and noticed a little smoke had came out and the burned smell was stronger. I then opened my case up and noticed some liquid had come out of it, from the research I did, it was the liquid from the capacitors that had popped. Oh well I heard a lot of good stuff from Corsair brand name PSU's but this time it failed on me. Its sad that now I got to wait three months until I get a new PSU.
Well I got mine RMA and I'm updating my review for the second one I got from Corsair. They have pretty good customer service. Anyways I've had my second one now for almost three months, which that's how long the first one lasted. I hope this one will last longer. I'm planing on changing this one out for a new one with more watts later on this year once I get my new graphics card. So hopefully this will last till then and hopefully for a long time.
