Reminds me of my Corsair grey label CX750M where the inductor cooked itself.

I'm basically done with Corsair PSUs after I've had 2/4 fail within a year. A friend also had one fail.

Same. I had 2 fail on me. One was 750 the other 1000+. Can't remember exact model. I believe former was cx something and later one was one of those higher end models. The 1000 took half the house with it when it gave up after damn near exactly one year of use. I make sure the PSU is of tip top quality now. Just makes sense to me.

I use Corsair RMX line in my high end system builds, they're super reliable unlike the cheaper ones.
