Been selling PC parts for 4 years - these brands broke THE MOST 🤨

[@JigsHidalgoMusic]

Still rocking my Seasonic X650 Gold since 2017. Used by its first owner for almost 3-4 years before I got it. Never failed on me, so trusty that it allowed me to allocate my budget to other PC parts that I needed.

[@BabayaGuns]

Biggest win is still that NO BS warranty ... No Matter how good the brand is , if you become part of that 1% disaster rate you still need the shop to believe you .

[@jaderobertricarte]

What never fails is the quality of your video.. entertaining, loads of good info, and nice overall ung presentation.. thumbs up!

[@TimBaoht]

The biggest failure with Seasonic PSU's falls on the consumers. Seasonic uses ODD modular cableing and TONS of people try stuffing the wrong cables into them ending in catastrophic failure of the unit...

This is a good perspective for the prospect buyers. Good job HWS!

That reminds me on warranties. Do you follow manufaturer's warranty period? I have seasonic 850 bought in 2015 and is ok. My NZXT X61 is still ok after 6 years of use. I have one failed GPU though after 2 years use, palit 980ti but it was immediately replaced by dynaquest since it is covered by 3 year warranty.

[@LuckyBearVlogs]

Justifiable naman pala yung high price range ni Corsair kasi good quality PSU talaga siya, same sa Samsung storage drives na medyo pricey pero reliable din. Thankful ako sa mga recommended brand ng PC parts when I was building my own rig via Hardware Sugar, reliable sila and pasok sa budget ko. Thanks for this very informative video... sana lahat ng PC shops naglalabas ng data based on their sales diba?

Accurate for me, bcoz I have no issues with 3 products listed: samsung 970evo, gskill trident z 8gbx2 3200 and coolermaster 550 mwe 80+gold for the past two years. Reliable brands and HWS stats shows. Good job and resesrch!👏

[@pkpnyt4711]

From an engineering standpoint, a 5% failure rate is considered low/acceptable. Any company with a failure rate of 3.5% or lower is considered exceptional. Any other opinion that says a company or product is bad when they are within or lower than these numbers don't know what they are talking about.

[@hwsph]

yes, from a production stand point there's always a margin of error or an accepted failure rate - that clashes though with a consumer's perspective of expecting something will work all the time.. and then getting extremely upset when it doesn't

[@CalvinJary]

@@hwsph if you actually test your product before you ship it, then it will be a 0% failure rate

[@03bunnyhop]

Been using Seasonic and MSI since my financial powers can get them, Ive been recommending both brands in client builds. as for the RMA, i guess it depends first on the store and then the brand. if the store is willing to take it back and the brand is taking it back, you'd get a flawless RMA experience. I have experience 2 RMAs for ASUS gaming monitors (each from different stores), one store decided to refund me the full amount, the other store did the RMA process, monitor came back as a new unit with a different serial. For video cards, I've been using Palit since MX440(yep that old) to RTX 2060, with the longest usage for the GTX 750TI.

[@defaultchan2115]

My MSI z790 wifi motherboard, MSI Geforce 4090 Gaming Trio, and my Corsair 1000W Psu are all working fine. Never had a problem with them so far. These are the 3 brands I always go for for my pc. My only issue is my Corsair H150i Elite Capelix AIO. It would not open on start up even when I set it on launch on startup. It always reverts back to the default of not turned on. And it also messes up my corsair ddr5 memory. It fails to restart sometimes. I don't know if it's a hardware issue, the iCue software issue or the windows 11 issue.... Also I stayed away from Corsair pc cases before because they used to suck. But now I am rocking their 5000D Airflow. It's really awesome it really delivers airflow...

the ones that naturally came to mind (eg. seasonic and gigabyte gpus) we really included in the data collation for this video as we really wanted to see what their objective failure rate was so we already included the brands with higher failure rates in the video

[@EvelynFox06]

I’m so happy for using Deepcool PSU and AIO!

[@nagzz06]

Very informative!

[@jritechnology]

I refuse to buy either of those companies anymore (MSI/Gigabyte)...although MSI has gotten a bit better over the years since I started in the industry (1997), Gigabyte has continued to unimpress me with their failure rate. Maybe I have incredibly bad luck with both of these companies, the fact remains I just stay away from them. Asus, Corsair, AsRock, Deepcool, NZXT seem to do me very well.

[@arrowflashbr]

Agreed about MSI. Like you maybe I just had bad luck with them, but in my experience MSI products appear to be engineered to fail as soon as the manufacturer's warranty expires. The only GPU and the only motherboard that ever died on me (in different builds and years apart) were both MSI. Also never had any luck with Corsair products (memory, PSUs, mice), some RMAs, some failures as soon as warranty expired, some DOA experiences too. I refuse to buy from MSI or Corsair since years ago. On the other hand, I never had anything but good experiences with Gigabyte products. It's my favorite brand for motherboards. But Asus and AsRock motherboards also never let me down personally (however I've had quite a few clients and friends that had problems with Asus motherboards).

[@jritechnology]

@@arrowflashbr Well, after a year....I went back on my word and bought an MSI MEG 360 AIO and an Asus B550. So far so good on both, and hopefully the way I treat my electronics will not let me down. These aren't babied, but neither do I OC them or mess with voltages.

Still using Seasonic S12G (550w Gold), 2018 first owner pero naka ilang palit na ako ng platform still using it sa main rig ko. kaya ok talaga Seasonic brand, kahit out of warranty na siya ngayon. still no problems. tsaka yung Asus Prime B350 plus ko From Ryzen 1200 to Ryzen 2600 then untill today Ryzen 5600G na yung processor ko (Binenta yung GPU dahil pamilyado na) gamit ko pa din yung motherboard, Sabay ko binili yung motherboard and PSU (From different Store) pero ok Din quality ng Asus, Basta Branded ok talaga. Mahal lang sa umpisa pero ilang taon mo rin naman magagamit eh. (kung hindi ka laging nag uupgrade).

[@BabyBoyJr.]

Ako Seasonic previous PSU ko. I was disappointed. 2 years lang nag fail na agad sya. "Maganda ang reputation, but a little shakey", this is true. Went back to my 1st psu brand which is Corsiar. This PSU (my 1st psu) lasted for 10 years before it failed.

[@WasntYourFaultYouHaveToLetMeGo]

Seasonic S12 series are petty bad, there's a huge scandal way back then because of the components they had earlier. The Seasonic Focus Gold series are much better and is listed as A+ by the PSU cult. Twice the price but has an extremely low failure rate.

Pag usapang GPU customer return, medyo alanganin yun data. Why? Previous years lang pumutok ang crypto mining. Take note, 24/7 ginamit ang GPU noon and di na design ang gpu na gamitin ng ganun. And alam ko napapa RMA ang GPU within pa sa warranty pero syempre di naman ma de-detect ni seller if ng sasabi ng totoo si buyer unless ipa lie detector test. If ginawa sana seperate data yun my risk ng gpu usage sa crypto at data na pure gaming/content creator purpose lang

Seasonic is top notch! Lalo na pag sa Helix ipa RMA! May problem kasi na nag black screen habang nag lalaro tapos shutdown. Unang suspect was psu, after nalaman na may slight problem sa sensitivity ng over voltage kaya pina rma ko. Noong bumalik na hindi pala psu ang problem pero dahil old version yung binili ko na “upgrade” sa bagong version yung psu ko. Kahit hindi pala talaga psu yung problem in the long run, no question other question asked and mabilis ang rma process. Kapag bubuo ulit paniguradong seasonic bibilhin ko.
