Packaging

The box is rather small, with "Titanium" in large, black font highlighting this units efficiency specification. The corresponding 80 Plus badge is in the bottom-left corner.


Only the power specifications table can be found on the rear of the box.


On this side are an efficiency graph for 115VAC and 230VAC input and a features list. Andyson also states this PSU to be ErP Lot 6 2014 compliant since it consumes less than 0.25 W in standby. Thing is we couldn't find any details on said ErP directive. There is information on the ErP Lot 6 2013 which asks for less than 0.5 W in standby, though.


A graph on this side depicts the fan's speed throughout the unit's entire load range.


A graphical list of all available connectors can be found here.

Contents

The contents of the box are neatly arranged and packing foam surrounds the unit on all sides but the top.


The bundle includes the user's manual, a pouch for the modular cables, a Velcro strap, several zip ties, two sets of fixing bolts, and an AC power cord.

Exterior

The design is nothing unique, that's for sure, and the finish is of acceptable quality. The large on/off switch at the front is right next the AC receptacle, and the exhaust grill uses the typical honeycomb design.


One side sports a decal of the unit's model number, and the power specifications label can be found on the other.



There are only four modular sockets on the rear since the unit comes with four native cables. The cable-exit hole is protected by a plastic grommet, and the native cables are sleeved all the way through the unit's housing.


This PSU is pretty compact and will, as such, easily fit into a normal-sized chassis. However, we would have liked less native cables or, ideally, none whatsoever.

Cables

The cables remind us of less expensive PSUs since they aren't flat or black. Andyson obviously focused on the unit's performance by neglecting appearance and usability. Such an approach is absolutely fine with us, though, since we put performance above everything else in a PSU. Yet flat cables would have been nice because they are easier to route and hamper airflow less.


Sleeving quality isn't that good for a PSU that costs 140 bucks, but as we already mentioned, Andyson apparently sought to focus on the platform and its performance, which left them with very little headroom once it came to such secondary matters as sleeving quality.
