This is a typical modern platform featuring good soldering quality and top-notch parts, which is why the price is high. The best Japanese capacitors and Infineon FETs don’t come cheap. On the solder side of the PCB, the soldering quality is good, which is expected given that Great Wall uses state-of-the-art equipment, but there is nothing to see since all parts are on the other side of the PCB. A half-bridge topology and an LLC resonant converter are used on the primary side. On the secondary side, a synchronous rectification scheme is used for the 12V rail, which feeds a pair of DC-DC converters to generate the minor rails—the usual stuff for a modern PSU platform.

All capacitors are made by Japanese manufacturers, so they will easily outlive the PSU’s warranty period. The cooling fan is made by Hong Hua, so it is also reliable.
