Anyone been having problems with the 1000watt Corsair RMX Gold Modular PSUS? One supplier said they have had lots fail only the 1000watt one


Kinda the sweet sport for threadripper 3 systems between entry 850 watt and more expensive 1300 watt ones

You should look at Seasonic as a PSU brand. They have been reliable to a lot of people and they stand by their product with a robust warranty and refined RMA process.

Buy Seasonic, cheaper and better.

Interesting. I thought the CWT made RM1000x had a pretty good rep. It scores a perfect 10 out of 10 over at JG.

Yeah. These other guys are talking out of their earholes.

Context helps. What kinds of "problems". The failure rate on the 1000W isn't any higher than any of the other wattages, unless of course they've been used for Cryptocurrency mining. Then the failures go through the roof due to melted connectors due to morons running multiple GPUs off of SATA power connectors.

I see you voted me down. You wouldn’t take a Seasonic Focus Gold 1000w over the RMx for $40 less? Seems like a no brainer.

Depends on where you're buying it.

In the U.S., the Prime is N/A at Newegg and only available from third party vendors via Amazon.

I have noted a custom builder over at Amazon has had multiple failures with the RMx line, citing a 40% failure rate. But overall, the line is highly rated by customers.

It's a bit of a tossup. I love my Focus Plus 850 Platinum. I also owned a Corsair AX850 which has been rock solid. I'm trying to decide between two 550W RMx or two Focus Plus 550W now. (For a small unraid server and pfsense box)

They are both good units. Both come with an excellent warranty. But the RMx is slightly better on the rail output when stressed.

Seems all the decent units have sky rocketed in price over the last year. I wonder if there is a shortage or component cost increase.

40% sound high for failure.
