RouterBOARD hardware • Re: Recent batch PSU Failures

The world should know, Mikrotik is NOT reliable.

My CCR1036 (Old design with only one PSU) has 4 PSU failed in a row for each year. I just need to switch to another router to keep the internet on.

It's ridiculously faulty design for a vital network device supposed to run 24X7 365 days a year, failed each year on PSU.
Can happen with any brand.
But this right here "My CCR1036 (Old design with only one PSU) has 4 PSU failed in a row for each year" I call bullshit.
If 4 different PSU fail on you, I put the blame 100% on you for not protecting your equipment with a good UPS, if at all.
Sure, it's well known fact that when you don't use a UPS, then capacitors that are next to heatsinks fail quickly. But when you use a UPS, then the capacitors move away from the heatsink automagically thus extending their lifetime. :roll:

The original revision of CCR1036 was badly designed.
The PSU gets no airflow at all and the capacitors that keep failing are right next to a heatsink.

I've had multiple of those fail on proper datacenters with UPS, generators, constant 21 degree ambient temps, the works, and they still failed multiple times. You call bullshit on Tier 3-Tier4 Datacenters too?
