I order On March 26th 2021 and shipped on the 31st of March is good. Unfortunately I just open the box today due to traveling and found out that the PSU does not work after several attempts. Unfortunately for me the return have expire so it is not returnable. Total cost + shipping is @143.09 (Order Number:BBY01-806440195419). This is my first time ever writing a product review for any items that I've bought all of my 12 years of building my PC. I know that being late to open it is my fault and I just want to make aware in case anyone ran into the same issue as I do. Now I'm stuck "HODL" with no value LOL.

Great 850w PSU, one very minor complaint

Really pleased with this PSU thus far. The unite isn't quite as long as most ATX power supplies, which is great considering how I moved from a full tower to a mid tower and there's not much room in my new case's basement for cable management. You'd think that because of this it would suffer from noise issues, but it's actually super quiet--even when it's not in hybrid/eco mode. It was even able to reduce a bit of the coil whine on my RTX 3070.
My only minor complaint about this is the same as some other folks--the cables can be a little stiff; especially the 24 pin motherboard connector. I had to pull it forward a little more than I would have liked to get it to turn so I could plug it in. I guess I could have purchased some aftermarket cables, but I didn't see much of a point. Again, this is a minor complaint and I'm still really happy with it.

I used this PSU to replace one installed in a 2009 computer build. Performance appears excellent with stability in use the same as the Corsair brand. In the past I have used Corsair PSUs, but this unit gives me the impression it is just as good - although slightly lighter in weight than a comparable rated Corsair unit. Price of the comparable Corsair unit is also much greater with the same warranty in expected product life. That made this an easy choice - along with the full modular design. Of note, I have had Corsair supplied cables that arrived defective in the box. I found no defective cables supplied with this PSU despite both brands cables appear the same.

I got this item and other sized seasonic Focus psu's from Bestbuy
They run quietly. And are not overpriced. I mine crypto coins more then any other thing with these psus in my pc's > If you have a 2 card build with high-powered cards say the 3080 these will do the trick.
I have 750watt, 850watt, 1000watts sizes all good all quiet.

This power supply unit comes in small size but supplies 850W, you can connect 2-3 graphic cards using this power supply. It comes with 10 years warranty, so I guess we can trust in the quality of this power supply unit.

Considering its an 850 watt psu its very compact and works perfectly for smaller cases where it needs to share space with a hard drive cage. My one complaint, which is by no means disqualifying, is that the two PCIE cables are both 6+2 pin with a 6+2 pin pigtail spliced onto them that are difficult to manage cleanly if you have a clear case and care about appearances. It is fully modular though so you can always replace the cables

Not much to say- modular and it works great. Enough power for an i9-10850k and an RTX3080. Seasonic also has an insanely good warranty

This powers my device well. very very quiet, and modular for anything you could want. it includes a cable for making it the secondary power supply, so I don't have to short leads anymore. it also includes every cable you might think to need, tons were left over after my build.

I've been very pleased with this Seasonic PSU. So far, it's handled everything I've thrown at it, including a 4-GPU setup that I use for mining. What truly amazes me is that the fan only spins up when the PSU is in heavy use and the internals need cooling. Well, that fan only spun up in 30 second bursts while using approx 450-500w on that mining setup. Dang.
I also really appreciate the size of this PSU. It is MUCH smaller than the competing Corsair unit. I'd characterize the size as borderline SFX-sized (at least in length). All the cables are the same as the Corsair modular cables, so mostly 'ehh' but functional. I wish PSU company's would start including easier cables to work with. Other than that, this PSU has been perfectly stable and very impressive, especially for its size.

One of the best power supplies you can buy now. For the price of about $150, getting a 850w gold with this quality is worth it for this time. The cables are easy to read and set up and it is very silent. It also has a 10 year warranty! Win win.

Very quiet and powerful PSU. Had a gigabyte one but kept shutting down anytime I had a load, swapped to this and didn't have this issue anymore. Best price for a 10year warrantied part for very reasonable price!!!

Seems reliable, came with all the cables I needed, and fit into my mid-tower ATX case (Corsair iCue 4000x) just fine. Is fairly performant compared to the other PSUs out there and the 10 year warranty is a definite plus
