As a matter of fact I have been building PC's since 1991 and for a long while I bought the cheapest no name PSU's that were available ( didn't know any better) and even with $30 PSU's I have only ever had one issue. The issue was with a SeaSonic M12II 620 that blew the house fuse when the pc turned on (probably capaciters pulling too much) as if i powered it on the fuse blew then if i turned it on again it was fine. They replaced it under warranty so it worked out.
P.S. I doubt they'll give you a refund, that's not how warranties work. They'll probably send you a replacement. So maybe hold off on buying that Seasonic unless you just want to re-sell the replacement Corsair sends you.

Yes, I'm not expecting a refund and I'll try to resell the replacement PSU

Outside of fan noise, a layman's opinion on a PSU is very binary, it works fine or it breaks. Every product fails, don't listen to someone because their product failed or didn't fail when they aren't able to ascertain a good reason. The % of failure is useful so you need a specific products review. The reason why it failed is the best, that's why we have a tier list that does has more EE knowledge.
And "name brand's" PSU sucks or is good is definitely a bad take. Corsair, Gigabyte, ASUS, have good and bad PSUs. Corsair SF600 and SF750 are also the most recommended SF PSUs within that wattage range.

Yes my experience is anecdotal as I am only building PC's for home use and a few friends not running a business building thousands but my point was that for many years I bought whatever cheap no name PSU's that were in the discount computer shop and still haven't had many issues with PSU's. Of course I know how many watts I need I don't buy a 250W PSU and slap a bunch of hi wattage components on that build
