Great PSU with a few caveats

Because this PSU doesn't have a fan, it's completely silent. I was concerned that the fanless PSU would make the inside of the case hotter, but after installation the GPU/CPU temp dropped a few degrees. Apparently, even without a fan, this PSU generates less heat than the Cooler Master PSU that came with my Omen 30L. If you buy this power supply because you want to reduce cable clutter in your case, you will be disappointed. Anyway, after replacing the non-modular Cooler Master power supply with the Seasonic power supply, there was more cable clutter. In addition, the cable from the processor to the power supply must be a few centimeters longer. When I installed the PSU at Best Buy (which I don't recommend), the PSU was swapped so the CPU cable was plugged into the PSU closer to the back of the case. That was annoying, because according to the instructions, the power supply must be installed with the right side up. After paying Best Buy to install it, I installed it myself right side up and was able to pull out the PSU, but it stretched a bit. Also, I had to flip the SSD in the bracket (i.e. so that the plug-ins on the SSD were facing the back of the case) since SATA cables don't have right-angle connectors. When installing Best Buy (i.e. plug-ins on the SSD to the front), the case could be closed, but the cable splintered on the glass. All in all this is a great power supply and if quiet is your priority I would highly recommend it.
