Built 13 identical workstations for my company.
 
Computer A begins to randomly crash: cause defective power supply confirmed by RMA department.
 
Computer B begins to randomly crash: cause defective power supply confirmed by RMA department.
 
Computer C motherboard PBC burns out: RMA’d both motherboard and PSU, RMA department confirms motherboard failure was caused by defective PSU.
 
Computer B motherboard PBC burns out RMA’d both motherboard and PSU, RMA department confirms motherboard failure was caused by defective PSU (PSU was an RMA replacement).
 
Computer C motherboard initially rejected by RMA department for burnt PBC, appealed, RMA approved.
 
Computer B motherboard rejected by RMA department for bent pins even though RMA department acknowledges the failure was caused by appealed, RMA denied over a BS technicality.
 
RMA supervisor transferred me to another person, but they refused to return my phone call
 
Not only did the defective PSU destroy the motherboard they also destroyed two 4TB internal hard drives Hard drives and one external hard drive.  Have not tested the remaining components CPU, Video cards and Ram because we have been waiting over two weeks for replacement parts.

    With that many failures, you may have had a string of bad PSU’s, but you may want to look at the power where it is being installed as well. If is extrmely bad luck to get so many bad components in a row, especially the exact same issue with all of them.

    I built 5 workstations 18 months ago using EVGA X99 motherboards, EVGA 1060 video cards and Corsair PSUs none have failed.  Additionally we have 20 Dell Precision workstation, 4 Dell servers, Cisco UC phone system none have failed.
     
    So no it's not our power we've been in the same office for five years the building is new.
     
    The problem is EVGA and their indifference and unsympathetic attitude.
