A few notes: 3 years on the LED seems very reasonable, from the manufacturers perspective.
I haven't seen any quality LED circuit in ages ( what is quality, eh? ). Even top end automobile LED parts like rear/brakelights break fairly often.
RMA'ing a completely fine, reliable PSU to switch out the LED's seems quite weird.

Second: I read the review diagonally since I've got several tabs open, but apart from ripple, no harmonics have been tested, right?
I'm quite interested how 'clean' the power is from an audiophile point of view. Might be pointless since the PC itself will generate quite a bit of dirty signals.
But pointless things are what the highest models of PC parts are all about ^^.

3rd: I'm glad that my Corsair AX850i is just as good as a top end PSU these days. Hurray!

this PSU looks so damn cool, it's out of my budget but maybe some future build if i get a better paying job haha.
Currently rocking a i5 3330 and a r9 280x lmao. 9700k and a 1080ti or 2xxx is the dream atm
