Best price for this product, will buy more!

I bought a power supply, since my be quiet! Straight Power Platinum 750W did not draw out after upgrading the video card to RTX 3080 Ti, sometimes the computer simply rebooted due to OPP / OCP operation, Nvidia 3000 series cards, especially the top ones have a chip to consume up to 500-600W in short moments of a few milliseconds, due to Nvidia itself recommends an 850W PSU for the 3080Ti/3090. If you look at the reviews on Guru3D and TechPowerUp, this line has top performance in its price category. Better only Corsair AXi and Seasnoic Prime Ultra. Bought at Sbermarket. Given the discount and points, it turned out very reasonable for the price. As for the PSU itself, for ASUS these PSUs are manufactured by Seasonic based on their Focus Gold GX/SGX platform. Differences from native Seasonic blocks in another fan - 135mm for ASUS versus 120mm, plus a double bearing. ASUS also stuffed the block with a bunch of massive heatsinks for all components, unlike the original Seasonic - hence the very quiet operation and relaxed cooling profile. Up to 400-450W, the PSU just works passively. In general, I am very satisfied with the purchase, the kit comes with a 20% discount code for premium modular braided cables from CableMod, for those who are interested. The cables themselves are native - a little harsh.

Pros
  • Very high efficiency, for ASUS they are produced by Seasonic, that is, the best quality of components among competitors and the best design of the board, additional ASUS heatsinks
Cons
  • I didn’t find it, especially considering that it was cheaper than analogues in this category
