My only reason for wanting to swap out my Seasonic 850w gold was for the power spikes of the 40x series as I do have a 4090 and also the neatness of a single cable straight from the PSU to the GPU but it's almost like these manufacturers have forgotten how to make a PSU.Yeah saw that with those two.
Also there's this difference in the packaging, even with the manufacturer, some say atx 3.0 compatible and some say atx 3.0 ready. E.g. msi a1000g vs msi a1000p.
I don't even have a 4000 series PSU, but wanted to upgrade, these definitely were not designed for the 3x 8 pin cards that's for sure...
The standard hasn't changed for god knows how long since ATX 2.0 and it's not like this is new, ATX 3.0 was announced over a year ago and they're all still messing up with their designs.
Can't see many of these first round selling now as far as I am concerned none of them seem to fit the bill for what it's supposed to be doing and when they're more costly than ATX 2.0 you may as well just stick with what you have until they listen to customers.
Never owned a Be Quiet PSU before but liked the look of the new one until I read it was multi rail lol, The mind boggles.
