Does what it needs to do and seems to be doing it well so far

Owned this power supply for two weeks and it works like clockwork! After receiving it I tested it a bit to make sure it works as designed. I maxed out with an RX 480 and an old GTX 560 during the FurMark test and Prime95 with a Ryzen 5 1600 at 650W (measured from the wall). The PSU didn't seem to sweat much from this test. This means whenever I can get at least one of the latest GPUs to replace my 560, this PSU will handle it just fine. The included cables are fairly short, fairly flexible, and all flat. They work fine for me, but you may need special ones if you're a fan of the ideal cables for your particular case. As for the noise, it can be considered loud when the fan starts running. While the fan stays off/silent most of the time under light loads, it occasionally turns on for some reason (although this might be due to my odd PC setup). I don't think it's annoying, but if it is, it's definitely an audible "breathing" sound. It's pretty bad to hear under load in my case compared to other fans. Otherwise, I'm not too picky when it comes to fan noise, so feel free to take this information with a grain of salt if you're a quiet fan. Overall I recommend if you need juice in a relatively small form factor. Additional Notes: If you live in the US, you may need to purchase a power cord rated for US outlets. When I bought it, it didn't come with a US power cord. I had extra ones laying around so I didn't have to buy another one, but it's just something to be aware of. Also, the seller provided some free rubber pins to attach the fan to the case. It's something small but kind of them to add.
