Pros
Psu still at 57c. Loads more power than i need, but i was looking for a modern design psu with modern topology, rather than the usual psu's that are ten year old designs.
Highlights
Quality
Top quality psu and will last years

Installed corsairs icue software which showed it rapidly hitting 57c while idle
