Well thought out...for Unboxing Purposes
Pros: The system operates just as intended. The instructions pamphlet made it easy to set up. After letting it run for a month in my pc, I can say functionality is as intended.
Cons: The information shown on the outside panel near the plug is upside down? Packaging adds to the cost of the product. It's as if it was designed for unboxing reviews. Has a felt bag you will never use for the power supply. Has extremely nice foam packaging that goes to the landfill.
Overall Review: I wish they gave us the choice of making it for unbox review or just end use and package for environmental sustainability. I did end up speaking with Seasonic as one of the GPU cables wasn't in the box. They gave me the better of the two cable options free of charge. -1 star for packaging waste, -1 star for product being incomplete on first delivery, +1 star for customer service win.
7 Year Lifespan
Pros: Quiet. Works fine for an average lifespan.
Cons: Noticed processor was at 91*C. Pump stopped turning. Coolant low? No sign of leak...
Overall Review: Not planning to get again. I think I'll go with another model of better quality.
7 Year life
Pros: Does the job, Dual Monitor support. Had a good run. Going to see if I can buy it again for the computer it was built for since it did the trick.
Cons: Overheated and died after 7 years. After 7 years, games have gotten more complex graphics, the card is starting to show it is out of date
Overall Review: I would still recommend it but probably redo the thermal paste at 5 years and recognize that it was on the high end with World of Warcraft but the low end with ARK. Plan accordingly
