kindly recommend a good 400-500w ATX psu. (replacing a budget corsair VS psu) just to power up an office rig (type writer replacement)

Anyone has experience with RMA-ing a Corsair PSU?
Do you need to return the original power cable? The problem is I don't know which power cable in my house is the one that comes bundled with the PSU. icon_question.gif

Yes, send it back to All IT.

AllIT will deal with the warranty although the item is more than 1 year? Or do I have to deal with Cudo (local Corsair distributor)?
Any extra charges?

Most shops covers only 1 year. You have to pay for service charge. Yeah, you might wanna go directly to the distributor.

I've made an RMA ticket via corsair.secure.force.com. Corsair rep told me NOT to send the psu to my local distributor, which is Cudo. Must send direct to Taiwan. I guess poslaju the psu to Taiwan will be about RM100 due to the heavy weight bye.gif

How? icon_question.gif

Just checked with Corsair (local) for you - send to distributor Cudo.

I asked Cudo, Cudo told me to send the faulty PSU to AllIT (where I bought it).

Hi guys, My corsair RM750i just died. Lucky for me I still have my corsair TX650 V2. I want to know since my dead PSU already passed 1 year do I still need to send to viewnet for RMA or direct to corsair?
*
i have experienced this before. talked to cudo (corsair local distro). cudo asked me to send it to shop, not cudo.

hence, send to viewnet

My PSU starts failing... Unfortunately during this MCO time. Any recommendation for around 150budget? Or plus minus 200.
PC specs: Intel I5-4430, 1 SSD and 1 HDD, 1 DVD drive. No GPU as only using Intel HD graphic.
Turning on my PC I get continuous short beep, and then it power off. The cycle keeps repeating until I power off the socket.
Things I have tried:
1. Reseat the ram.
2. Reseat mobo battery.

Quick google search on short constant beep for Gigabyte mobo reveals PSU failure.

Hi all, i RMA my Corsair AX1200i PSU 3 months ago, this morning i received a call from Convergent Distribution that my PSU is ready for collection, after further checking was told it is a refurbished PSU, is it normal Corsair will RMA refurbished PSU?

i always thought it's very common to have refurbished unit as replacement. it's also normally mentioned in the TnC of rma.

Is there a reason to replace a psu that's 10 years old? Everything is still running fine.

^ why is the psu cables (white power cables) so flexible? like really small diameter (bigger gauge number) and low quality. Or is this normal?
