This is the widely used CSZ platform by Channel Well Technology (CWT). This is the most popular platform among ATX v3.0 PSUs since it was among the first to meet the strict transient response requirements, and it also offers good performance and quiet enough operating, covering a wide wattage range from 750W to 1200W. On the primary side, we meet a half-bridge topology and an LLC resonant converter on the primary side. The secondary side employs a synchronous design for rectifying the 12V rail and a pair of DC-DC converters for the minor rails. The soldering quality is good, as usually is the case in CWT-made products.

The build quality is high, and all parts are by respectable manufacturers, so they will most likely outlive the long warranty, especially under proper operating conditions. In PSUs, the expected lifetime has to do mostly with external factors like the quality of the mains. You should not expect a PSU to live long if the mains grid in your area is highly unstable or you operate it during a thunderstorm without any protection devices before it.
