I was recommended Seasonic here, I did look into it a bit. I read a lot of the reviews on newegg, every single psu review I've seen from someone whose owned them for long term would state failure after 10-12 months. I would expect far better reliability than that for a psu from such a highly recommended brand...

Is it really this common of a thing, for their brand to failure with a year of use or less, as it seems?

Anyone know how good Corsair are doing now that they changed who is building them?

I don't think it's as common as you think

also, seasonic typically has at least three year, often 5 year warranties, and they wouldn't throw that out-there if in-factory testing showed frequent failures

that aside, it seems Superflower is extending their warranties, so you can always look into rebranders who use Superflower PSUs. some top units from Cooler master, and EVGA use Super Flower,

Well all the supplies you listed have 7 year warranties. The company wouldn't stay in business if they made substandard products. Adding the 5 eggs and 4 egg percentages (my way of ranking) gets you 75%-85% which is still pretty good.

I think most of them listed dies within a year because if it were longer they probably wouldn't go back and write a review.

I would still recommed Seasonic as the best manufacturer right now.
