Just hit 50 dead power supplies from one specific brand in the last year

Tbh, I started keeping a log after the 10th one, and the number just kept climbing. They're all from a budget line that a lot of shops in my area use for basic builds. Ngl, it's gotten to the point where I open the case and see that label and just know. Has anyone else seen a failure rate this high with a particular part?

I used to buy those, but 50 failures is insane.

You kept a log? Man, I should have done that. My record was seven dead ones in a single month, all from that same "ValuePower" line. Every single one just stopped, no bang or smoke, like a light switch flipped off. I don't even test them anymore, I just pull them and toss them straight in the recycle bin.
