There is no power switch, which is a con in my book.


The power specifications label is at the bottom, covering most real estate.


The modular board has eight sockets.


The exterior design is plain because this PSU is an OEM design. Brands will likely customise the case.


Here are more photos of the PSU from various angles.

Plenty of cables and connectors are provided, but you cannot have all of them connected simultaneously. Most included cables are short, since the PSU is designed for small chassis.


This is the PCIe 5.0 cable/connector that makes the PSU stand out from the crowd, providing compatibility with upcoming GPUs.


The lack of 4-pin Molex connectors looks strange. But brands can modify cable configurations, including 4-pin Molex, most likely.


The unit's AC power cord.
