It's modular, which is already a plus for cable management. It's quiet. It also supports 12VHPWR (PCIE 5.0 cable), so it's very practical for future upgrades.
It's been doing its job without a hitch for a few months now on my PC, all in silence.
The only negative point I can mention is the relative lack of clarity in the instructions.
So far, so good, the power supply looks good and is fully modular.
However, I had this power supply and it broke down after two years. So I tried it again with LDLC, and we'll see if it lasts a bit longer...
For the price, you'd expect to have enough connectors to power everything in the machine. Well, no, I'm probably missing a drive cable with 4-pin connectors for ECT accessories ...
It's pretty pathetic for a park like this. I'm crossing it off my future orders.
The power supply fulfils its function to the full while remaining silent, and its modular design is a real plus!
