What's the deal with 3 year warranty?

In my experience most products are dead out of the box or when the system starts really pushing itself during the warm summer months. Three years might seem like a short window compared to some but really I am more likely to buy a replacement then send a product in for a warrant replacement for the same thing after that much time.

I also if it came with a 10 year warranty I think some might question the company future after getting out of GPU and releasing their first PSU since. I think a lot of people would see EVGA lasting 3 years but when you slap a 10 year warranty people question it.

Guess I should add that I just read that InstaPot filed for bankruptcy. I would have assumed that since everybody has a InstaPot or Pyrex bakeware that the brand would be good and you could trust the warranty if it said a decade.

I get what you're saying and agree with it, but I think it's a pretty ominous statement at this point (not really unexpected though). Have they ever had a power supply with that short of a warranty? I would bet it's more about the concern of the company not supporting it after 3 years than the supply not being good enough to warranty past 3 years. They've rarely put their name on a power supply that was just poor quality. A couple non-winners, sure, but none that were just out and out terrible that I recall.

I had some of the same thoughts about the warranty when looking at the PSU specs.  I wondered, is EVGA not as confident in the longevity of this new lineup as they were in past lineups?  Or is this more a time frame warranty based on slowly closing the doors?  I'd like to think not on the latter.
 
I also thought maybe if/when they release higher rated units like Platinum, Titanium etc., they will come with perhaps 5YR, 7YR warranties.  Guess we'll see.  I do like the specs and design of these new units though.  I'd have felt a bit more comfortable with 5YR coverage.

3 year warranty? Loss of confidence?
