.. why is this PSU so cheap? It's on at least one tier list as being A+ rated. It's 80+ Platinum. No idea if it has the latest connector for Nvidia, but I don't really personally need or care about that.
Sold and shipped by walmart.com, so should be a legit seller. Has a 10 year warranty. Returnable in store. What am I missing? lol
(I acknowledge there are some bad reviews.. but still sold and shipped by walmart. Maybe a bad batch?.. but come on that price still)
Why is this so cheap?
Just want to callout the safety risk here.
Out of all the electrical components inside your computer that are capable of setting your home on fire, power supplies are at the top of the list. It’s not worth saving a little money on that one component compared to pinching on something else if you must.
ONE OF US!
When people talk PSUs I come of as paranoid. I will not buy PSUs from manufacturers I don't know and trust.
The potential energy an outlet can deliver frightens me. If something is left plugged in unsupervised, it better be safe. And if you sleep next to it plugged in, then you're effectively trusting it with not only your own life, but also the lives of everyone else in your home.
My pet peeve is people charging their "one hung low" brand electrical scooters indoors. OMG shitty construction, crap components, and it's being used in all weather conditions... And then it's left to charge indoors?!?
