Agreed

My Corsair AX850 Titanium I've had about 5 years now and it has a 10 year warranty and is a rebranded Seasonic.

Any plans of including 200% GPU load testing for ATX 3.1 verification?

The statement "Voltage regulation is particularly impressive on this unit, with the 12V rail maintaining a tight regulation of 1.1%." does not confirm the performance from the 12HPWR connector as per ATX 3.1 spec...

This article could really use a few pictures that demonstrate how the alternate cable routing looks when installed vs a standard unit. That is the main feature of this PSU.

I'm finding it harder to justify an 80Plus "Gold" rating on anything over $150 today; "Platinum" doesn't usually have too much markup relative to today's and especially tomorrow's electricity prices. Sure, many are penny-pinched and already don't care to spend what a proper quality PSU costs, but for me internally and my general recommendation, I'm holding this line.

I don't have anything against CWT but I'd also have the most warm fuzzies if it were Seagate.

Good review. I bought one awhile back, and I'm not all that pleased with it. It didn't come with a paper manual outlining which devices the ports are meant for--and there were no decals on the side denoting the connectors--like I see in the image here! I couldn't find a breakdown on the Corsair site, either, at the time I bought it--last Thanksgiving. It must have just hit the market. From what I remember reading, it also uses custom power cabling. None of this was made evident in the review I read before buying it! This PSU is in my 7800x3d AM5 box. I have an HX-850 Corsair in my AM4 3900X box that's been in use 5 years and is still going strong. If I had to do it again, I'd have bought a standard PSU. I bought it for a new case for the 7800x3d CPU, a Lian Li Lancool 216--a very nice case for anyone who is interested at a decent price.

Seasonic ?

I am looking forward to a review of the new V4 Focus line.
