Solution
Current Corsair psus do not explode. If they do anything at all other than work as intended, it's die quietly. Understabd there's two types of Corsair psus, the older colored blocky letter kind and the newer (since @ 2017) grey/silver - black label kind.

Both kinds are available, especially in the Indo-Asiatic markets who had larger stockpiles of the older psus and are still selling them at just under the newer version prices, and still see considerable sales on the used market. Sellers take advantage of buyer ignorance, buyer orders a CX blindly and gets sent the old kind, never thinking he got 5 year old stock from a back shelf.

I've had more than a few conversations with the Top Brass at Corsair, and you will just have to take it...
