… why is this PSU so cheap? It’s on at least one tier list as being A+ rated. It’s 80+ Platinum. No idea if it has the latest connector for Nvidia, but I don’t really personally need or care about that.

Sold and shipped by walmart.com, so should be a legit seller. Has a 10 year warranty. Returnable in store. What am I missing? lol

(I acknowledge there are some bad reviews… but still sold and shipped by walmart. Maybe a bad batch?.. but come on that price still)

Why is this so cheap?

    Let’s say you want 1000 units. Lets say normal QC takes out 20% of units produced, now your manufacturer needs to make around 1250 units to ship. Walmart says they’re only going to pay $x, and the manufacturer squeezes that buck by lowering QC on the run for wally to only kick out 10% of the units so they only need to make 1100. Only now roughly 10% of the stock is defective.
