Evga power supplies are pretty solid especially the platinum versions as I have yet to have one fail on me with constant mining use over years. I did have a Evga gold power supply die on me, but it had a pretty decent life span so I am not that concerned.

Thanks for the video, I am sure it will be useful to those getting started

Absolutely agree. Not a single EVGA P2 one has failed me thus far either but couple Seasonic Gold ones have already failed me in past few years.
EVGA is definitely a top tier. Though high quality server PSU's are way cheaper and work the same if not better than consumer grade PSUs. The only downside to them is that they're super loud, like ASICs.

A server psu is ideal if you are not in the same room with your mining rig otherwise you will need some kind of ear protection to be around them for any length of time. I have a setup with a server PSU but it is in a room that I seldom go in so I know exactly what you are talking about.

I've been mining on a "budget" gamermax 1650w psu since late 2017, I have 5 of them, non of them have failed on me so far. Maybe I'm "lucky", but I never clean them, they're dusty af lol.

They are going to die soon if you don't clean them it may block the fan air and the temp of your PSU will increase that could lead to damage/overheating.

I always clean my mining rig PSU, the motherboard and GPU to keep them cool so that temp is always low or on an average temp to increase the lifespan of all my mining rig parts. For now, you are lucky but I suggest you better clean them if you don't want to replace them with a new one.

Actually EVGA PSU is too expensive I don't have this I only have is the corsair hx1200i the PSU still alive for almost 1 and half a year.

This kind of issue in power supply sometimes it's because of bloated Capacitor or maybe the PSU have lots of dust and dirt inside that needs to disassemble and clean the dirt and dust to fix the issue.

I have an old the same issue before but I always end up cleaning the Ram memory and fixed the issue. Well thanks, I got some idea right now to fix my son's PC.

I just don't have extra PSU that is why I can't test the PSU if it is power supply issue.
