Packaging

The box is small, but tough enough to protect its contents efficiently. At its face is a photograph of the PSU that showcases the fan grill and modular board, while a silver frame near the bottom-right corner contains the unit's most crucial features, which include its 3D circuit, single +12V rail, and semi-modular cabling design. The 80 Plus Gold badge resides in the top-right corner, and the series- and model description and a label for the Japanese caps are in the bottom-left corner.


Only the model number and CM's logo are on this side.


CM advises you to visit their official page for more information on this product on the top of the box, in many different languages.


The technical and power specifications tables are on this side of the box.


A very brief features description in many languages, a list of all available connectors, and two graphs with the fan-speed and efficiency curves are on the back of the box.

Contents

Inside the box, two cardboard sheets completely cover the PSU. We would prefer packing foam, but cardboard is definitely more ECO friendly. The PSU also comes inside a plastic bag, which isn't as environmental friendly.


The bundle includes an AC power cord, a set of fixing bolts, some modular cables, and a folded piece of paper with some information on the product itself. Unfortunately, no zip ties or Velcro straps are included, which is a shame.

Exterior

The finish is of good-enough quality and the unit's dimensions are compact because it is short. The on/off switch at the front is right below the AC receptacle, and the exhaust vent is of the classic honeycomb-style variety.


The decals on the side read "V750", while they would normally read "VSM750" or "V750SM". CM's marketing department apparently meant to pass on the message that the VSM750 has nothing to envy from its higher-end brother, the V700, a unit by Seasonic that plays ball in a different and more expensive category.


The power specifications label on the bottom.


The cable-exit hole is pretty large and comes with rounded edges, and as you can see, the native cables are fully sleeved back into the housing.


The modular board only features four sockets. We would like to see more PCIe sockets and another EPS connector.


The unit sports a small footprint and pretty nice looks because of the silver frame around the fan grill.


Unfortunately, the cables aren't stealth, and a good chunk of the PCIe connector isn't sleeved at all. Some points will be deducted for the lack of sleeving on it.


Contrary to the native cables, the modular cables are stealth and flat, which is good, but we would definitely prefer it if all cables were flat and stealth instead.
