You call that proof with only 1 item causing "issues" when I have multiple 
systems with Corsair powersupplies that have been rock-solid for years without 
needing any replacements?

With the amount of product factories produce these days, having a few bad 
samples is only to be expected. Dishing a company just because you happened to 
get one of them is a bit lame.
Better complain about the shop you got it from for not testing every single 
unit they sell.
Or about the person who decided to use it without testing before RMA'ing a 
possibly correct working GPU.
Oh wait, that's you. And we can't expect you to be the cause of any issues, 
can we?
