Hey guys -
So at one of my local vendor, Microcenter, they have a refurbished Corsair AX 760 watt ATX Power supply on sale for $96. I tried asking both Microcenter and Corsair why this item was refurbished but they do not have a way to track individual item and figure out why they were originally refurbished. All they know is it is working fine.
Microcenter offers 90 days parts and labor warranty and according to Corsair all their refurbished PSU comes with 1 year warranty.
Given the price and reliability of Corsair's one of the top PSU model, AX, do you guys think it is safe to buy refurbished PSU? Just scared that it will burn my machine down!
If it is not safe, my next purchase choice would be RM750i for $115 ($95 after $20 rebate).
Thanks for reading, and let me know your thoughts!
