they all break when pushed hard.

Evga 1600 p2 melted running an s-9 doing 1350 watts 24/7/365 last 2 years 9 months

Seasonics
1200 plat
1000 plat   melted

Evga 750 t2 died

Rosewill 1500 watt tokamak    running at 1250  for 2 1500s
rosewill  1200 watt tokamak    all popped caps with a boom  running at 1000 for the 1200

fractal  1000 watt plat  90 days dead running at 800 watts all 3 of them

I have yet to kill about 15 corsairs but I have since learned and run them more gentle.

Wow...Phill
You have a lot experience with many PSUs brand. Yeah, agree, whatever its brands, when pushing to the limit would break faster. And some brand has excellent durability when given a bit nor middle push, and the other would get a bit damage such as melted.
