A few years ago, I decided to buy "end game's PSU" it was 500$'s EVGA SuperNOVA NEX1500, I use it in several rig (all water cooled). Change motherboards, gpu's etc. Periodically faced problems that I thought occur due to overclocking, like sudden power failure. But recently I bought Corsair PSU and ALL my problems ended at once.
 
Just want to warn you, never buy EVGA PSU's! These guys don't know how to make power supplies. GPU maybe, but not PSU.
 
I'm happy to be able to throw away this unstable, noisy piece of work.

    I changed over to Single Rail with the GTX 1080 Ti and now RTX 2080 Ti Graphics Cards.

    Mine NEX1500 died.  I like him. No one in that period had similar PSU.
    I think NEX1500 influence to companies who sell power supplies think more to include better cables and design nicer PSU case then before.
     
    It's not EVGA fault. EVGA not produce power supplies or CORSAIR.
    Only companies who not produce other PC parts, Seasonic, Super Flower and few more lower class players make all good power supplies on market. Really is not EVGA fault. 
    They planned nice reliable PSU to work 24/7 several years.
     
    Platform is not comparable with Super Flower and Seasonic.
    After NEX1500 I use EVGA 1200 P2 with EVGA Black Sleeve Cables I couldn't continue to use normal cables after NEX1500.
    I'm so glad EVGA didn't gave up from power supplies and year later become one of main players.
    CORSAIR is not different. If you want different CORSAIR that's only Flextronics, but you need to pay a lot.
    They make only strongest CORSAIR models, 3-4 for now only, but customer will not see difference.

    I had always read good reviews about the NEX 1500 when it was initially released. 
     
    I do see that you purchased this unit back in 2013 and it does have a 10 year warranty. In case you  would like to start an RMA on it, please contact our support in Germany SupportEU@evga.com and refer to support ticket #3548127

    NEX1500 reviews are not even close to reviews of G2/P2/T2 Generations.
    They really surprised whole market with quality. Super Flower made platform for EVGA same as for them maybe even with improvements.

    That is HARD on the wallet throwing out a pricey PSU! Glad you can turn it for another. Should you ask politely YOU may be able to change it for another given they do not even make the that one any more.
    It HAS been my experience AT TIMES the good people at EVGA do UPGRADE you or at the very least give you an upgraded equivalent. My MB burned out and thought the PSU MAY have been an issues and had me RMA at EVGA's expense, that SO worked for me... I ONLY buy PSUs by EVGA, NOBODY's RMA process is easier! 
    TBH Corsair's customer service has come a LONG way and I had memory issues and they grades me for FREE! But at the end of the day I prefer the Super Flower Platform to the Flextronic one, though BOTH are 
    excellent PSUs. Good luck with the RMA!

    Guy is obviously angry because his PSU died but no reason for such emotions.
    When mine PSU died they asked me if I want 1600 G2 for replacement, but I choose weaker but more efficient, 1200 Platinum.
    And today I use 1200 P2, last 4-5 years. I was so happy when sleeved cables show up and now cables are same as on NEX1500 only full black.
    Technical support is priority in IT industry, because failure rate is far bigger then in production of something else. 
    I can bet huge companies with super computers every week contact technical support for something.

    Stick with the Super Flower / EVGA analog models (T2). Too many things can go wrong with digital controllers.

    I used to mine. Now I compute.
