The box has a photo of the PSU with its white fan grille, which looks nice. Around the back, you will find the power specifications of all PowerPlay models, along with cable lengths and connector counts.


Packing protection is adequate.


The fan grille is the showpiece here, and it isn't too restrictive. Interesting design choice. You will find the power switch and AC receptacle at the front.


The power specifications label is on the bottom.


The modular panel hosts eleven sockets in total.


Measuring 140 mm deep, this is a compact PSU.

Cables and Connectors

While there are many cables, there is a significant problem with these EPS connectors. Both are installed on the same cable, which can be dangerous if the mainboard pushes both hard. There is no point in having six PCIe connectors anymore, so Chieftronic should equip this PSU with less PCIe connectors and, instead, dedicated cables for these EPS connectors.


The number of SATA connectors is good, but I cannot say the same of the cable with 4-pin Molex connectors. Moreover, only four 4-pin Molex on this cable instead of this weird mixture of connectors would have been better. The FDD connector could be included over a 4-pin Molex adapter.
