The right product for me, there were no problems.

The PSU is ideal for assemblies with a powerful processor and one top-end video card (3080Ti or 3090/Ti), especially since SLI has been dead for a long time. Seasonic at 750W couldn't cope with the 11700K+3090 bundle, went into defense in some scenarios (during a sudden load change). In principle, the total load did not exceed 700W (there is a UPS that monitors it in real time), but the known peaks of current consumption in 3090 (350W versions up to 520W, in 450W up to 600W in a 10-20ms segment) led to the protection against KZ. With this BP, this problem is gone. I feel there is a stock incl. and for 4090.

Pros

- high efficiency, practically corresponds to the platinum test certificate - stably produces voltage on all three lines (3.3, 5, 12V) regardless of the load, - more than 17ms hold up time when the load is lost (important for UPS) - modular - quiet - reasonable price for such power - 10 years warranty

Cons

Only 3 sockets. PCI Express 8pin power supply, which, with a power of 1kW, is somewhat bewildering, which, however, is not a problem for me personally (see comment)
