.. 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)

That's fair. Still this one is also A tier on multiple tier lists like: https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/ . They specifically list Cybercore.

Also just found it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/XPG-CYBERCORE-1000Watt-Cybenetics-CYBERCORE1000-BKCUS/dp/B09XMZF6GL

68 reviews: 4.4 stars. Reviews seem about as real as regular products.

Yeah. I saw that the ratings were good too. Not sure why it's priced the way it is. Maybe others are right in saying they're doing some QC deflation type stuff.
