After reading tons of PSU reviews, many power supplies seem to be quite poor. Somehow that really doesn't align with reality well to me as power supply failures are incredibly rare as long as you respect amperage limits on rails. I have seen some really cheap power supplies working for a really long time. They seemingly don't fail often and they certainly don't self combust. The only thing tat I have seen in real life was that one PSU had really short hold up time, but that's it. It was likely below ATX spec, so when power went out that computer also went out (I thought it was just normal, since PSU doesn't have a battery and is not expected to act as UPS, but my own computer didn't shut off in same conditions and I thought that it was my computer that was weird). That's as as close as I have been to PSU failure. So, I want to ask you all have you experienced PSU failures? Or at least some clear quality shortcomings?
Please mention PSU model and what happened to it. I'm more interested to hear about cheap power supplies without sleeving, that are unpainted and don't have an 80 plus rating.
