    Super food

    I changed my power supply, which was getting old, like the rest of my setup, and got this one. It works like a charm and does the job!

    Nothing to say

    Easy to install, the connections are perfect.
    The noise of the fan is imperceptible.
    Perfect, to be seen in time

    not silent

    when the power supply goes up in load you hear a lot of hissing so it is not quiet at all, either it is heating up or the fan could be quieter or spinning slower

    Good product

    I had to have a 500Watt minimum power supply for my RX580 and I didn't want to spend too much money on my setup.
    It works very well, I recommend the product without any worries.

    Very good

    Power supply manufactured by Seasonic, so nothing to say about that.
    It is relatively quiet, the length of the cables is satisfactory.
    Three scratches are provided for the management cable, it's appreciable.

    Very good

    Good quality power supply, works very well with an i7-8700 and a gtx 1070. The only negative point is that the CPU power cable is quite short, which means that it has to be left across the middle of the case, you can't run it behind the motherboard. The motherboard power cable is very stiff.

    Power supply as expected.
