Aorus PSU

review up for Gigabytes new range, thought Seasonic were the OEM but listing here as MEIC

Do know though its all designed in-house though - bit like bequiet



@EsaT know your clued up on PSU units, seems unit not as 'tweaked' as focus unit and fan profile just as aggressive as every PSU they have made/had made

While having some similarity (like location of desoldered PFC coil) that certainly isn't Seasonic Focus platform:

And I don't remember Seasonic having ever used separate PCBs for 3,3 and 5V.

trying to think if it was designed in house with seasonic in mind then switched, might of had influence - pretty big statement with 10 year warranty too if its not the focus unit

Those cables look terrible with all those capacitors sticking out like that. That alone would put me off ever buying one of these.

dont think there are a lot of OEMs now doing this, only on a few high end models which made cable sleeve kits a grey area . Should reduce EMI but might of been a bit of an overkill feature or plug in extensions like Lian Li strimer shouldn't get any interference .

kills the look but guessing adds the thought of 10 year warranty
