OCP is set high at 12V. I won’t complain about 5V, which needs to be strong enough to support ARGB, but there is no point in such a high amperage at 3.3V. Another problem here is that the cold and hot OCP triggering points are almost identical. Normally, OCP should be tighter in stressful conditions to protect the PSU effectively. On the other hand, OPP is notably lower at high temperatures than at cold ones. Lastly, all other necessary protection features are present.

I am unsure if many users will opt to pay 110 dollars for a native-cables-only PSU in 2024, given that with 10-15 dollars more, they can get a fully modular ATX v3.x compliant (e.g., the Thermaltake GF3 A3 850).
On page 11, I think there’s a typo in the thermaltake model’s name (GF A3 vs GF3 A3)
