So this is a 4 star product with 1, 2, 3, 4... 12 cons?

The cons are somewhat consistent with the review on TPU, but over there it was not a recommended product.

Maybe there's something more my ignorant self is not seeing here.

The Gigabyte UD1000GM PG5 is the first PSU available with a 12+4 pin PCIe connector, so practically, it doesn't have any competitors yet.

How it was? In the land of blind one eyed is a king?

No thanks. I'd rather wait for Seasonic do one than get another one that could end up exploding

I understand the reference, but in this case, a unit with these many downsides doesn't justify a recommendation, unless there's something else besides being the only one available (for now).

Some of the positives are not that great either.

• +Full power at 47 degrees Celsius
• +Most protection features are properly set

Once beaten, twice shy. After the shady practice and persistent denial of critical flaws with their product by Gigabyte, even if this is a 5 stars PSU, I will not bother to consider it. There are much better options out there. I rather pay more than to deal with shady companies. In my opinion, it is not the product that we need to be mindful because every company will at some point produce bad product. It is how they take steps to resolve the issue and maintain that goodwill. Gigabyte basically burned that goodwill in the PSU fiasco. So no more Gigabyte products for me since the company can’t be bothered.
