Here's JonnyGuru's review on the 1375w version of this same platform. http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story5&reid=293
Other then that if you look the worst parts of the review are the fact that it only has an 18 gauge Power Cord. This wont affect 99% of all users. Current hardware puts 1 cpu/ 2 GPU systems around 700-850w. Meaning that you won't be effected by this cable at all. You shouldn't buy this PSU though because it's useless unless you are pushing Fury X's on a dual Xeon build, something that's way into diminishing returns on performance on anything but heavy worstation use case(And anyway Titans or Nvidia in general may actually be better there depending on the programs you work with.)
Second: Most PSU's are made from OEM's such a Seasonic, Superflower, FSP, Delta, CWT, Enhance, ect ect. This is a CWT unit and not a bad one in general. CWT is most famous for making Corsair units. So no they don't "Take most of their designs" Saying such paints you as ignorant to how OEM PSU makers actually conduct business within this market, continuing on saying "Knock them off with cheaper parts" also demonstrates this further. Especially when the capcitors are primarily Enesol which aren't Nippon Caps, but they aren't bad. The soldering isn't bad and over all build quality is acceptable. The cables could be nicer for this price of a psu.

Where they used Jonnyguru as the source, and still have this PSU listed as a Tier 3 PSU? k.
And regarding the knocking-off. Just one of the many articles you can find on the matter if you simply google "Thermaltake knock offs"

Multiple examples for you.
Bye.
Saying "Poor Quality" based on a tier list is like saying a used car is in great condition because the saleman said so. IT's a CTW(Read the same OEM as most Corsair units) you clearly knew nothing about OEM's before I mentioned them though.
But stop spreading miss-information about "Taking Designs"( Licensing OEM platforms) and "Poor Quality parts"( Decent to good build quality and mid range capacitors, bad cabling for the price) when neither of those are true. At best you are an ignorgant consumer, and at worse you are maliciously spreading false info.
