Sadly not good enough
I am writing this review after having the PSU for a couple of months and taking a couple of months to work out why my system kept cutting out. It didn't happen all the time but after a few times, I started noticing a pattern and have finally isolated the issue to the PSU and have tested to confirm.
The PSU and cables are all nice but it cannot cope with high load and cuts out. I have an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X CPU and AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT and under high load, the PSU cuts out.
Helpful?

Can't cope with a 3090 and a power hungry CPU
I brought this a few weeks ago as a small upgrade from an EVGA 750w G2 that's been doing me proud for a number of years. I gave the G2 to a friend for a new build and sod's law, immediately afterwards this thing starts randomly restarting when i'm gaming. A quick google shows this is a common problem and these PSU's can't handle pairing a 3090 with a high spec CPU. The power spikes that combination can entail in demanding games results in its protection circuits kicking in.
It's a shame, as other than that, it's a nice piece of kit. Very quiet, compact for the wattage, included cables are good.

just had a look at the Amazon reviews and it's the same thing, few 3090/6900xt owners complaining that their system shuts down - and the 3080ti's power requirements is not much different from the 3090
