I don't know where have you been living for the past 3-4yrs. Maybe in the jungles away from the population in your own little bunker. Corsair PSU "
used to be good". That's not the case anymore in 2015. They used to use Japanese caps etc in there psu's. Now they use
Capxon or Samxon caps. These are crap to say the least. You can argue they are the best. But, the fact is that it's a cost cutting measure and you would be a fool to compare them with Japanese caps and say that they would probably last more than the warranty period. You would be lucky if they would even last till the warranty itself. Corsair customer service is good but there PSU are crap now. No enthusiast or knowledgeable person would ever recommend a corsair over Seasonic or Antec. And you are welcomed to lookout there RM, CX, and VS series to see the proof. VX series is obsolete and have been discontinued a long time back. That was one of the last model upto which corsair reputation as a PSU brand was unblemished and they used Japanese caps.
Don't spread rumors if you don't know anything. You need to have knowledge of the internals before claiming which PSU is good and which is not. Merely getting awards doesn't mean that something is better than the other. You have to have a solid proof of your claim like the internal components used etc. Yes the problems can occur with any brand but when a company start using low stuff in there line ups in the name of cost-cutting then they are bound to fail more. I know they are more clever then you are. But, don't let them take you for a ride. I very well know that most of the reviews are paid. And if there would a genuine one then he would have definitely mentioned about the crap caps being used.

Well that's a new angle. You have not mentioned anything about the monitor before so there was no way to know about that. If that is the problem then you are golden. Although I doubt whether the mouse would stuck before the screen goes off. If there would have been just a screen problem then the mouse should have worked in the background and should not have stuck.
Anyways, I thought maybe you need a good advice and need help. But, it doesn't seem to be like that by your reply. Your temp are just fine. There is no problem there. You would be wasting your time with those things. Anyways, you do what you want. And if you want to waste time listening to the above super intelligent advice. Go ahead.
Corsair have discontinued their VX series. In-fact Corsairs other lineups have
ALLmoved to
Japanese Capacitors, which all of the them Vs, CX, RM, RMi, Hx, AX and Axi series now have AS PER THEIR CONSUMER WEBSITE. Higher ends have El
electrolytic caps for Extremely tight voltage regulation Best-in-class ripple and noise suppression Virtually silent operation.
Japanese capacitors have a reputation for excellent quality control. So for extreme conditions, it is more desirable to use Japanese brand capacitors. On paper, there are often Chinese capacitors with the same specifications as an equivalent Japanese capacitor, including low ESR (equivalent series resistance) models. Japanese capacitors are also said to use a superior electrolyte that is more resilient to higher temperatures. Japanese capacitors are also known to use some of the purest aluminum available. That said, many of the Chinese manufacturers are buying Japanese electrolyte formulas and the companies that refine the aluminum for the Japanese capacitor manufacturers are opening facilities in China so they can be closer to their Chinese capacitor customer.
In higher end units, Japanese capacitors are used for overall increased reliability.Corsair does tend to use Japanese primary capacitors whenever possible because of the extreme conditions the primary capacitor is subject to. These capacitors are large and therefore have a larger surface area to dissipate heat, but they still get rather hot due to the higher temperatures of the primary side’s heat sink located nearby. Also, the unregulated DC voltage charging the primary capacitor on the primary side can potentially have a great deal of ripple.
Once again using the RM850 as an example,one can see that a Nichicon brand, GL Series 560uF, 420V capacitor is used on the primary side. It’s rated at 105°C and can handle 1.5A of ripple current for 2000 hours of 24/7 operation. But being as close to the primary heat sink, where components are dissipating temperatures as high as 76°C under full load, the surface temperature of this capacitor can get as hot as 44°C. Furthermore, this capacitor could potentially encounter ripple current as high as 3.2A. That’s more than double what it is rated for. Even with these conditions taken into consideration, the life of this particular capacitor is still calculated as greater than 15 years. But since the conditions can potentially be so harsh, Corsair made the decision to use a Japanese capacitor here to prevent any potential for premature failures.
Never jump to conclusions on something you potentially have no visibility or access to. [MENTION=89697]avichandana20000[/MENTION] Please ensure your other components are healthy too. Do a time-check on their life-expectancy and your system age.
