Protection inside the box is adequate since foam spacers cover the front and rear sides of the PSU. Typically, the first thing that greets you once you open the box is the user's manual.


At the front are the power switch and one for toggling on or off the semi-passive operation.


The specifications label is at the bottom. A small sticker around the back describes all modular sockets. You can connect the PCIe and EPS cables to every compatible socket since all are electrically compatible.


The fan grill looks like a spider's web, and I hate spiders!

Cables and Connectors

The cables are quite long. Still, more headroom up to the first EPS connector would have been nice. It is also a huge mistake to install both EPS connectors on the same cable, even with 16AWG gauges up to the first connector. The load an EPS connector can deliver is huge, so with both of these connectors on the same cable, the corresponding socket on the modular panel can easily melt, especially since this is a single +12 V rail PSU with the ability to deliver up to 52 A on the rail.


Six PCIe and two EPS connectors on dedicated cables would have been much better than the eight PCIe connectors and two EPS connectors on the same cable.
