It's 10/10 and also way more than you likely need. What are you powering?

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

My current rig is in my sig and I know it is COMPLETELY overkill but anything that is worth doing is worth overdoing and with a long lasting PSU like this, I won't have to worry about power for a long time :D

I mean, an EVGA 650W GS/GQ/G2 will last you just as long and is like $100 cheaper....

That doesn't make sense, perfect spot would be 50% usage on the PSU to get the most out of the power you use (highest efficiency is at 50% for PSUs).

 

That's a nice PCU, nevertheless.

It won't necessarily last longer. I'd suggest buying a new psu when you need one instead.

Well I am selling my current one because a friend is building a new rig and I always wanted a fully modular PSU instead of the semi modular PSU that I have now and the price I am selling my current PSU will cover most of the price of this new one.
