Heres a photo of it.

I havnt ever bought a psu so wouldnt know if its unusual or not. Certainly looks and feels quality product but not opened it up yet aswell.

Does b grade mean refurbished or used or something?

Thanks for the response tho im still learning a lot here hah

Its not advertised as a b grade tho its new never been used was foster who mentioned it so was curious

Ah well its done now it is what it is...

Just gtta decide on the rest of the build now. Really dont want to wait till 7/7 for new cpu etc 2700x coming round the 200mark soon might just on and get that

As a rule of thumb it of course is always best not to buy anything thats being re-sold because you never know what someones been doing with it , and in the case of PSUs you should take a look where the screws are....any scratches and such , if there are any...send it back .

Thanks pal.

I have orderd my build now. Will make sure to give the psu a good going over before i install it does look pretty decent from the outside tho haha
