^ Niko - yes exactly that mate , or you can deal direct with manufacturer from the word go.

The shop warranty , they'd just deal with corsair for you for those first 2 years at the end of the day.

You're still covered for 5 years irregardless of the shop warranty.

I saw on many reviews that this unit makea lot of noise and its audible. I still need to think should i buy this psu.

Measured at 33 decibel unmounted in a noise box.

Its low in those charts but 33db is not at all noisy mate honestly.

Case fans will be noisier, GPU/CPU fans will be noisier.
With the load you're running it will never get hot enough to ramp the fan above that level

Its still not a noisy PSU , used both the 450 & 550 & I would consider them both fairly quiet.

U had no problems with fan bearings? I saw on newegg that is the common issue with this supply. And do you know anything about EVGA 450 B3?

Look on some of the review dates & you'll see that half the reviews are not even for this actual PSU model.
There are reviews from 2013/2014 & it generally went on sale late 2015/early 2016.

The b3 , super flower as far as I know & has a hydraulic bearing fan.
If you can find one then yes mate , it looks to be a very very good psu .
