I was surprised by the quality for this price.

Fans of quiet and non-hot system specialists are not very suitable, but if you replace a noisy fan with a quiet one, with a constant speed of 900-1200, then there will be happiness. I bought it for a bundle of i9-10900KF + RTX4090 in the LianLi Air mini case, it might have been necessary to take an 850W power supply instead of the recommended 1000W so that the fan in semi-passive mode, e, still turns on.
Otherwise, the power supply is excellent, I recommend it for top-end systems, taking into account the selection of power.

Pros

One of the best PC power supplies, proven to be the most reliable with high overload capacity (remember how some 1000W PSUs were cut down when working with 3090), its own platform (development) provides high efficiency and low ripple. A large number of cables, for all occasions. Heavy gauge 16AWG cable wires, many competitors are thinner, only 18 AWG. The fan is 140mm, not 135mm like the competition.

Cons

Not optimal fan operation: in the "ECO OFF" mode, it is very noisy, it feels like it works at 100% and does not slow down, becoming the noisiest in the system. The situation is saved by the semi-passive "ECO ON" mode, it is comfortable, but due to the fact that now the fan turns on only at 70% load, the power supply gets very hot, which in turn heats other elements of the system. In addition, very long cables for connecting a video card are 0.75 m, and the length of the dual one reaches 0.9 m - they obviously wanted to please the miners.
