    Zipper pocket and missing parts?!

    This 'new' product popped up in an open ziploc bag without half the pieces. It's pretty obvious that it was installed earlier. This PC build for my company had to be shelved while I looked elsewhere for a PSU as Revain could not be trusted NOT to resell a returned item without inspection. I was forced to order from another location with expedited shipping (+$25) so assembly could be completed on time. Don't waste your time with this; order computer products from a reputable website.

    Fantastic power supply!

    I bought this brand new 750w machine at an amazing price and just finished my new Ryzen 3900X system with GTX1070 GPU. I looked and looked and looked and settled on this Pwr model with a 10 year guarantee. It doesn't get any better than that. This is the second PC I have built with a Seasonic PSU and I have NEVER had a problem with any other Seasonic 650W PSU system. Both my old and this new power supply are very quiet and I like that very much. I'm a professional photographer and I need a very

    Two for two with major defects on arrival: badly bent case and blocked socket :(

    Longtime and experienced PC assembler, bought one and it arrived with a deformed case (see first two pictures). Revain no problem shipped a replacement that came with an internal component that completely blocked the PCI + CPU's natural power connector! one is sure, and they replied that (1) it is not safe in the state it was shipped in , and (2) they don't guarantee it. Cords just won't plug into the outlet because they're blocked by what appears to be a capacitor that's already been squeezed…

    Works with no problems

    Power supplies are quite simple - they either work or they don't work. This one works. First, you get a PSU tester in the box so you can make sure it's ok before installation. It is very nice. Connecting everything and the cable was only possible to find out that your power supply is bad. So it's an issue with your MB, CPU, RAM and GPU on the bench only to find out it's the PSU. It was great to start assembling knowing that the power supply works. The cables are of high quality and are enough…

    The most reliable power supply you will ever buy!

    I have been building, repairing and reengineering computers for over 15 years and Seasonic power supplies are by far the most reliable of all power supplies. reserves. In fact, many of your high-end rebranded power supplies are actually rebranded from Seasonics ;) . If you lose a motherboard or an entire system to a power outage or blackout, which happens more often than you think but only once, you'll find that there's no point in skimping on the PSU. The Focus Series PSUs were by far the most

    When all the components on my computer are fried I need to build a brand new one.

    I bought this because I was upgrading my processor and motherboard, when I plugged it in everything got power as usual but the fan never came on. Shortly after I smelled a burning wire, my computer froze. found that the PSU is broken and all my hard drives are grilled, lost irretrievable photos and videos, my Z390 Pro Carbon motherboard is so grilled that it no longer recognizes any of the components, I also can't check if my processor (i9 9900k) is working and my gpu are gone too. This PSU…

    Extremely efficient and quiet

    I bought a Focus PX 750 ('20) for $139, worth every penny. And compared to my old green label Corsair CX600M, which used over 550 watts during my testing. In the test, the PX draws a maximum of 420 watts. I've also noticed that the standby power drawn from the wall has dropped from 120W to around 70W. This thing is virtually silent even with the fan on. As long as I like it 12V 5V and 3V excursions look good. 12V does not drop at idle or under load. Norb makes 5v. 3.3V sometimes bounces off…

    Stable, well-built power supply

    We live in strange times. At the time of writing (July 2020) finding the right power supply is NOT easy! Sometimes you see a power adapter you like and when you double check the specs and add it to your cart, the item is out of stock! To be honest, I was reluctant to take this power supply. I wanted full modular, but this one is only semi-modular. But I wanted to use the Seasonic brand because of its reputation. Anyway, I used this power supply for the build and here's what I think of it. The…
