lenardwg Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I've had the AX 860 installed for just over a year and it has already packed up. Most frustratingly it also took out my hard drives with all my data. Ironically I originally decided to pony up for an expensive but reliable PSU to prevent exactly that from happening! Afterall, the warranty says 7 years! I even went the extra step of protecting my PC with a quality UPS. So even with a clean mains power supply and a 'premium' AX 860 PSU disaster still struck! Now was it just really really really bad luck getting a duff AX 860, or just a poor decision? Should I bother with an RMA, or should I be looking for other more reliable products? Any suggestions? PSU gurus, is this a common problem with this product? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKeifer Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 What's that saying, "If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all"? Seriously, it's a shame that your power supply gave up the ghost and took your drives with it. All electronic products fail, some more than others and that's just a fact of life. As Corsair doesn't publish their failure rates (I don't think anybody does unless it's called out in a government contract or the like) it's difficult to say if there's are more or less reliable then the next guys.
