they don't tell you that when you purchase it.
This PSU seems to have about the right wattage and quality I was looking, plus being modular and supporting PCIe 5.0 since my mobo supports 5.0 for future upgrades.
At this price point, I'm now tempted to upgrade my PSU first, and still hold off until BF for the GPU. Would anyone be aware of forthcoming deals better than this if I were to wait, or reason not to do so?
i got a higher-end evga power supply in a microcenter bundle, it had unbearable coil whine, mc refused to exchange it even tho it was within 30 days, so i had to deal with evga.
evga did an exchange all right, but it was for a much older power model that was lacking features like an eco mode; when the box arrived at the house it had a huge hole punched in the side... mc + evga = nightmare
Not many people can use 1000W.
3-year warranties are for bargain builds. And then you get the EVGA, Seasonic, Corsiar top brands for 550W bargain units. 3-year warranties shouldn't exist for 750W+, IMO, because they system's they're designed for cost over $1k anyways.

The corsair doesn't mention warranty at all.
I have an supernova 1000w from years ago, it's my go to psu for a regular build, very reliable. Yet it might be when EVGA has the 10 year warranty so hard to compare with this.
This 3 years warrant worries me.

Otherwise I don't know how it would compare other than having a 150w less rating.

the real problem isn't so much that they make power supplies that have coil whine, it's the fact that their warranty return wasn't like for like, they sent me an obsolete model of power supply that didn't have an eco mode, that turned the fan off.
it did however have a 10-year warranty when new, as did the evga power supply it replaced, which is better than what evga is selling now.
one option would be an older power supply design that doesn't have the new 12VHPWR gpu connector... the other day i got a super flow*r 1200w for $180, with a 10-year warranty... not as efficient at lower power draw, but with huge heat sinks and bigger caps it should live longer in eco mode.
Otherwise I don't know how it would compare other than having a 150w less rating.
if one is bigger and heavier, it'll probably mean bigger heat sinks and heavier-duty components... should be similar with different manufacturers, but maybe not as clear-cut.
