PC Power & Cooling Silencer Series 1200 Watt, 80 Plus Platinum, Fully-Modular, Active PFC, Ultra Quiet ATX PC Power Supply

So far, the best of any PSU I've ever owned - it's been nearly 6 months now. It's incredibly quite under heavy loads.

This is the second PSU from this company I have used in my PCs. Never had a problem at all.

New computer build for CAD

Many moons ago, when DIY PC building was much less of a thing, and RGBs were... what RGBs, PC Power & Cooling was one of the better brands out there when it came to quality and reliability. Due to the current shortage of computer components, which unfortunately includes power supply units, and although I haven't heard much of PCP&C in a long while, I decided to give them a try for nostalgia sakes.The power supply would turn the system on for about 4 seconds then restart, then after about 10 more seconds it shuts off. While the system is off, the power supply seems to still be on telling by the noise of the fan, along with the smell of something very ....wrong. Unplugged everything with the quickness, and ran out to Microcenter and bought myself a Corsair RM1000x. Installed it, turn it on, and everything boots up as it should.Judging by some of the recent reviews, it seems that the words "quality" and "reliability" is not a part of the brand no longer. And worse yet, "fire hazard" seems to fit the bill better.
