  Can anyone share their thoughts on how good this PSU is?

  I bought it during BF after doing my own research but didn’t find a whole heap of reviews on it. Looks great on paper but any catch?

    I don't own one, but based on browsing through the review OP (chatGPT) posted, it mentioned CapXon capacitors being used (so not Japanese capacitors). To be fair, even Samsung and Apple use CapXon capacitors in some of their power adapters. The dual colour 12+4 pin PCIe cable is handy.

    You can roughly use the warranty period (7 years) to get a feel of the quality. My "biased" view is that it is kind of in between tier A and tier B. Personally, I prefer Japanese capacitors and a fan from a better brand. However, its performance (based of the review) is reasonably good. Some PSUs in tier A offer 10 year warranty and some PSUs in tier B only have 5 years. Corsair RMe has 7 year warranty and is listed as tier A (personally, I don't feel RMe is a true tier A PSU).

  to ensure your 4090 does not blow up

  Why do I keep seeing people say this

    It is reasonably well known that the new PCIe 5.0 12+4 pin connector needs the cable to be fully plugged in. One advantage of the dual colour cable provided is that if you see any yellow bit of the cable after you plugged into the connector on the graphics card, it means the cable isn't plugged in properly. However, I am not sure a 750W PSU provides enough power to properly drive a 4090. I think in general, if you have a 4090, you need 850W minimum, preferably 1000W PSU.
