I fitted Corsair HX1050 in my rig and it's failed within warranty period. Contacted Corsair and got ticket from them saying they will respond within 48 hours. Tried to contact them again and they flagged wrong password. Six times they sent me new password and each time they flagged wrong password. They have effectively blocked any future contact as I live in England. Anyone else had this treatment?
Now I'll be looking to buy new PSU of 800 to 1000w that will interchange with the HX1050 connections. Any recommendations folks?
Thanks.

Pretty much all psus are compatible as long as it has proper cpu power connections (8pin or 4pin depending on mobo) and a 20+ 4 pin mobo connector. Either way i was suggesting brand. XFX psus are made by Seasonic. Get a Seasonic or XFX psu and it wont die. I would recommend NZXT and Corsair also. I have had both and neither have failed. All of those brands are good name brands that live quite long. I could also recommend Ultra (although most wont) as they are...

Not used site for some time, probably hitting wrong button.
Thanks for suggestion Aaronfield. Not sure if the 1000w XFX PSU as quoted is compatible with ASUS P8P67 Motherboard, will need to check. Anybody used these two components together? Newegg flag 'out of stock though.

Im unsure as to whether they have an 850w+ psu though.

Thanks for your help Aaronfield. Will now try to get hold of the 1000w XFX unit, let you know if it works out OK. I believe most PSU's fit casings. Mine is Coolmaster HAFX Nvidia which I think will be compatible.

Have now looked around, looked at reviews and availability and reckon that the XFX850 will be OK for a second GTA590Ti card. Availability for 1000w+ PSU's is not good in UK.
Have now ordered one, and sadly come to conclusion that warranties for international purchases are worthless. Ah well - can't win 'em all.
Thanks again for your assistance.
