I called Convergent up to do an RMA, they told me they don't have the stocks for RMA as they have placed an order since Jan and because of COVID-19, there is no stock left for me to RMA. So they recommended me to do a 1-1 with the shop I bought from which is Dynacore https://www.dynacoretech.com/. The one that returned might be from me for the initial set (returned from Dynacore)

When I did a 1-1 swap with the Seasonic and flip the switch, there is RGB lightning from the mobo. I have been switching it on 24/7 for 2 days and did not encounter any power trip. I have now switched it off now but remains plugged in for a day (so far). RGB lights are still on and no power trip. For the Corsair, when I flipped the switch to the on position, the PSU switch was already at the On position. The reason I mentioned that it might be a batch issue is because both Corsair SF750 causes my house's circuit breaker to trip. After changing to Seasonic, it hasn't yet *touches wood*. So I can deduce three things. 1. Removing all the power cables and re-plugging it in solves it (PSU change). 2. Batch problem with my shop's Corsair SF750 (???). 3. The difference in 750W vs 650W causes it to trip (unlikely).

I think my bad for using the word interchangeably. My assumption is that a power surge has happen and that causes my circuit breaker to trip. Sorry I have double checked. The RGB is coming from the mobo itself without the computer being switch on. 1. I plugged my computer to the electrical outlet, the outlet is switched on (In Singapore, we have switches on the outlet). 2. I did not power on the computer, but there are RGB lights on the mobo 3. In the above state, it causes my circuit breaker to trip (and hence I assume it is power surge). 4. It trips for three times. For the first two times, the RGB on the mobo still came back on after I flip back the switch of the circuit breaker 5. On the third trip, when I I flip back the switch of the circuit breaker, the RGB on the mobo went off (PSU spoiled) Computer Specs AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Impact Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 2080 Super Twin Fan G.Skill Trident Z Neo Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin SDRAM PC4-28800 DDR4 3600MHz CL16-19-19-39 Addlink S70 2TB NVME SanDisk Ultra 3D NAND 2TB Internal SSD Corsair SF750 Lian-Li TU150 ITX Black Casing Arctic P12 PWM PST (Black/Black) Value Pack I am not using any custom cables, all of them are from the box. I went back to the shop and did a 1-1 for Seasonic Focus SGX 650W SFX Gold Modular PSU. It has been 3 days, and so far so good which makes me think is the SF750 issue (might be a batch issue).

Exactly, I am also confused with what happen. I didn't even switch on the PC, but it was plugged-in to the socket, so the default RGB lights on the AMD CPU fan is on, RAM RGB is on, etc. But the computer itself is off as in I did not press the power button to switch it on. That causes 3 trips. On the 3rd trip, the lights disappear and I knew the PSU is spoiled.

Original one died, could not power on. That happens when I try to switch on the PC and it trigger a surge. After that, my PSU is spoiled. Changed a new surge protector, RMA the SF750. Replacement came, also died. This time round, the weird thing is I did not even switch on the PC when the power surge happens.

Replacement Power Supply Failed After a Few Days

Sorry for bumping up this thread. Chanced upon this from Google. I am in a similar situation with OP, just that mine is SF750. Original one died, could not power on. Replacement came, also died. The weird thing is I did not even switch on the PC when the power surge happens. In Singapore, power is stable, it seldom go out.
