Reminds me of my Corsair grey label CX750M where the inductor cooked itself.

I'm basically done with Corsair PSUs after I've had 2/4 fail within a year. A friend also had one fail.

The RMX ones are rock solid, really good PSUs

Similar to me. I'm still running my Corsair AX1200i that I bought in 2013. Over 13 years of near daily usage as a gamer or various work purposes. I haven't paid attention since my PSU research during 2012-2013. Did Corsair quality drop or something?

Using an AX760 here for 12 years so far.

Literally bought a Corsair RM850x this week but after reading all these comments I’m legit getting a bit scared. Should I return it and buy another brand?

no, RMx is one of the best lineups
