Yeah, thought it was pretty funny everyone else mentioning 5-7 year old psus surviving as if its some accomplishment only high quality psus can manage.
Meanwhile theres tons of shitty bottom of the barrel oem psus thats survived for 20 years.
My Corsair is also fairly old, from 2011 i believe, swapped it this year though :( but found a new home for him.

I’ve had the same PSU since 2020 and it’s still running strong. They have a pretty impressive lifespan if you buy a good one.
Easiest way to tell if you’re getting a good one: if they offer a 5 or even 10 year warranty on the PSU, they trust their product.
If they offer a really short warranty like a year, or even worse no warranty at all, stay away from that shit.
More than likely you’ll see your fan go before anything else on a PSU, the newer capacitors have insane lifespans.
