Focus PSUs are always the best bang for buck and this is an amazing deal.

EVGA had an agreement with Super Flower where SF would stay out of the US market and only sell through EVGA. The agreement was either abandoned by EVGA or expired or they weren't selling enough to meet the numbers to keep it alive (depending on the source of the information), so EVGA switched to other manufacturers for at least some of their PSUs, maybe all of them. As I recall, the G5 & G7 are made by FSP and the G6 is from Seasonic.

Focus V3 is on hwbusters best PSU list; however, I don't see his review.
It does well considering the Focus V3 is up against lots of PSUs including titanium and platinum.

There will always be duds / defects, but my Focus GX-750 from 2019 is still going strong and it even powered a RTX 4090. If my memory is correct it can handle sustained 1000W loads.
My first Season was their old X line, it caught fire after about a year. They happily RMA'd that one no questions since I sent in pictures of the GPU/CPU cables melted into the back of the PSU. The replacement never even turned on with my tester, they said there was nothing they could do.
I had a platinum focus where the fanless mode started making hissing noises around 6 months in, its fanned mode was fine but was a timebomb so stopped using it. I didn't RMA it since the shipping was something like $25 and they refused to cover it. Didn't feel like another run around repeat.
I haven't bothered with Seasonic again.
I've had a much different experience & more typical. I built two machines with Seasonic PSUs. One machine (built in 2008) is over 15 years old and STILL working! I choose a Seasonic TX-850 (machine built in early 2021) for my second machine....no problems to report! Neither has caught on fire or started making any noises.
For me at least...Seasonic is the brand I trust the most when I look to buy a PSU.

I'm planning on running this thing until it dies. If/when that happens, I wouldn't hesitate to replace it with another Seasonic.
