Not really two. I have used 6 power supplies in total.
Maybe I've just been lucky or I've just been buying the quality stuff, two of the ones I'm running now are 1,200 Watts, the other two are in computers that don't use much power because they are basically idle servers all the time. They are also semi reasonable quality.
But I have been running a computer on a 450 w power supply that was very much having its limit pushed.
I also did run on a bottom of the barrel super cheap 500 w supply that I bought in the middle of 2020 when all of the supply crisis was happening.
That is why I was curious. My experiences didn't line up with what the OP was talking about, so I was interested to see examples of what was going on.
