That's a Tier E PSU....
Look for something higher quality, something in Tier A or B.
Maybe something like a Corsair RMX 550W or TXM 550W as examples.I Should probably mention what this is for, This PSU is going into a system that i'm planning on reselling for profit. Spent 675CAD and looking for a pretty cheap PSU to sell it, As long as it runs for a couple years i'm fine

Corsair CXM 550W is cheap enough.
Wouldn't go lower than that...

One is a budget PSU and the other is a bomb waiting to go off.

Is there anywhere with reviews or a video or ANYTHING on it? I'm really leaning towards it because of how cheap it is for a resell build. but theres nothing on the internet about it, it seems

That is a problem....
Sell a PC with it and it takes out the whole system or starts a fire.....

I'm not into PSU's enough to know what that is, Lol. What is a 'you put a modern, independent regulated PSU via DC-DC or dual mag amp when powering a high-end, 12V heavy gaming rig.'

Group-regulation and independent regulation is the method of which the voltage rails [12V, 5V, 3.3V] are generated. The Elite V3 is a poor, low-end PSU that's group regulated [setting aside the Elite lineup have a history of being rated higher than what it can actually output, using low quality components, offer poor electrical performance, and that the design of the elite may cause it to exhibit very bad coil whine with a high-end setup]. What this mean is that the 12V rail and 5V rail are regulated together and any load on the one rail can affect the voltages of the other. Increase the load on the 5V, the voltages of the 12V will increase. Put a load on 12V, the 5V voltage will increase. Put a heavy load on the 12V and maintain a relatively constant, low 5V load [like a modern, high-end gaming computer], the 12V voltage will drop sharply.
Independent regulation mean that each of the voltage is regulated separately and typically will not influence one another. DC-DC / Buck converter and Dual Mag-amp are two different ways to achieve this.

And that's partly why you shouldn't buy it, if you can't find a review or even a teardown on the PSU then you should assume it's garbage by default. In this case it is garbage anyway, Cooler Master's bottom of the bin stuff, barely better than these noname PSUs in random prebuilds. If you're okay with that level of quality then fine. If you want your clients know that you didn't cheap on then go for something like this at the very least, better if this.

I really do appreciate the comments, However I already ordered it at the time I posted this, So i figured, What the hell. Lets test it out. I Swapped the power supply's, Ran couple hours of 3Dmark benchmarks, Working fine there's no difference in performance than the 750w I took out to put in my 2060, 3600 system. [I had a 450w running 2060 and 3600 etc. for the longest time so I wanted a better PSU.] And I don't think I have any intention of returning it considering it works fine. Thank you for the detailed explanations though. I've learned something new
There would be no difference in performance at first, a couple of years, maybe more, maybe less, depending on the load and thermals.

Is Cooler Master Elite v3 PSU good?
There is nothing fancy about this Cooler Master unit except its reasonable price to power performance. The PC and new video card it now supports is not left on constantly; so power efficiency was not a consideration. With a case modification, it installed just fine and had the appropriate power connectors.
What is the rating of Cooler Master Elite v3 500w?
The PSU has a 75% efficiency rating.
Is the Cooler Master a good PSU?
From the United States. This PSU is fantastic. Super quiet, fully modular cables with the capability of more connectors than anyone should actually ever need in a home gaming system. The modular cables means you only put in the power wiring that you currently need, eliminating excess wires hanging around in the case.
Is Cooler Master Elite v4 good?
Durable, Reliable, and Safe The Elite - v4 will perform consistently in whatever environment you throw at it whether it's high altitudes above 5000 meters or ultra humid settings like a tropical rain-forest. This unit was designed for work systems meant to be used in extreme conditions with challenging temperatures.
