Highlights
Quality
Platinum rated so is very efficient (normally around 93-94%) when under load.
Replaced my old corsair ax860i psu which had been faultless and still working after 10+ years of service.

One thing that caught me out was that there is some film over the logo on the side where the fan is which looks like it should peal off but i think perhaps it was meant to remain on as the logo lost its shine with it pealed off but then it was coming off a little already when unpacked so it was an easy mistake to make

Needed a new psu for my new pc and decided to go with this so i have some upgrade headroom as my pc setup is a linux install that runs windows simultaneously in a vm with gpu passthrough i needed something that could handle the power demands of two gpus as they cant share
