This review is for: XPG Core Reactor Modular PSU: 80 Plus Gold - ATX - Fully Modular Power Supply - 10 Year Warranty - 650 Watt.
Overall: Quiet. Stable power. Tom's Hardware recommended. Due to the CPU line's length, would probably recommend another power supply if you want/need to route through a backplane. Otherwise won't be an issue.
Review:
A Tom's Hardware PSU review had this listed as a recommendation, so I bought it. Technically it was my second choice but seems to be good quality.
My previous power supply was quite loud with a 30% load, but this one is very quiet.
I do wish the CPU power cable was longer though. The non modular cables are also pretty stiff. I ended up having to route the CPU cable over the mother board instead using the backplane.
My system hasn't had any stability issues. I mention this because the PSU is one component to not skimp on. Even decent brands can have problems with power dips, consistency on the various rails, or ripple.
If I had to go back, I would probably choose another power supply with a longer CPU line. However, if you don't need to route cables on a backplane, it won't be an issue for you.

XPG Core Reactor 750w
Have not had it long enough or have any of those fancy tool-o-matic-measure-thingys to do a proper review, but the pro reviews were very positive and it is powering my PC right now with little to no noise...or fire. It is slightly smaller (depth) than my old "Antec TP750 New" that it replaced. That Antec was still working after ~14 years, even the fan! If this one lasts that long, well, no one will care if I come edit this review to update, and I'll probably be more worried about when they're going to change my diaper anyway.One complaint is that one of the 6+2 split cables was no good. The "+2" split part was way too short and would never reach if plugged into an 8 lead connection (see pic). I didn't need that particular cable, so not too big of a deal.Edit: 8 months and still good. Silent, no coil wine, fan noise, or other random issues.I did see string of "scary" reviews starting in August 2023 after I got mine (June) though. Maybe a "bad batch" or changes in components from the factory occurred? These electronics manufacturers are notorious for releasing a good product, getting good reviews, then switching to cheaper/crappy internal components to save a buck, sometimes completely different to the point it should be given a new model name.

Considerando todos los componentes de mi PC, aun asi me sobraron cables. ¡Esto está pensado para que no te falte nada! El único detalle es que los pines si son bastante duros. En resumen: Buenísima relación Calidad-Precio. ¡RECOMENDADO!
