Review on Corsair HX1200: 1200W Fully Modular Power Supply, 80+ Platinum Certified (Model CP-9020140-NA) by James Jenkins

I built a system with this PSU in 2016 and now I think it's the motherboard culprit -Frying was. From day one it had a weird performance when there were issues and the system also sometimes lost performance, sometimes during use, sometimes not. I never knew what the problem was or how to reproduce it, but instability has always plagued this essential workstation computer. Given the CPU and single GPU I installed, I probably didn't need a power supply larger than 500-600W. I particularly remember that this problem appeared from the beginning because I researched the problem and thought that the problem is that you need to disable the C-states of the BIOS. That seemed to help for a while. Fast forward 3 years and now when the computer turns itself off, sometimes it turns back on and sometimes does nothing when the power button is pressed. Usually after turning it off I couldn't turn it back on until the next day when it started working again. I've noticed that if I unplug the monitors/auxiliary USB it works again, but a few months of that and then even this trick didn't work. Eventually, the computer would do nothing for days when the power button was pressed. when i realized Because the old 2011v3 CPU wouldn't fit in the socket of today's most popular 1151 motherboards, I had to buy a new board and CPU. Well when I put it back together the computer worked but it seemed like I went back to the time I first finished building it with weird power issues and not booting after resetting windows or resetting a minor bios change wanted to. . It clicked (with the mobo backlit) as if to turn on, pause, and click again, and I think it will do so indefinitely, but I manually pressed the power button on the PSU to kill it. Pressing the power button again did nothing. But after 20 minutes it worked again. I also noticed that when I press the fan test button on the PSU (which has always worked by the way) and then boot the system, it boots up. Seeing similar power supply issues, I didn't want to ruin my new hardware, so I bought a new power supply hoping it would fix the problem. Since I installed the new EVGA power supply, all power issues are gone and the system is running stable like never before. Also this problem was noticed to a small extent from day one and lasted almost 4 years until the mobo completely crashed. the power supply was still good enough to run the new hardware (with problems). This issue was hard to track down, but I feel like I've finally figured it out. It's outrageous that a PSU of this tier with minimal requirements was unknowingly defective from the start and ended up ruining my system. this problem was noticeable from day one to a small extent and lasted almost 4 years until the mobo completely failed, when the power supply was still good enough to operate the new hardware (with problems).
