Photos


On the face of the small box is a photo of the PSU with its fan grille and triangular-shaped perforations. The new exterior design looks nice.


Protection inside the box would be better with more packing foam.


The bundle includes the modular cables and AC power cord, set of fixing bolts, and leaflet with a catchy title.


The exhaust grille also has triangular perforations.


Stickers with the model number are on the sides. The power specifications label is on the bottom.


The modular board only has five sockets. The fixed cables are fully sleeved, and a plastic grommet is on the cable-exit hole.


At only 140 mm long, this PSU is compact.


Here are some more photos of the PSU from various angles.

There are only two fixed cables, and both are sufficiently long.


The single PCIe cable is modular and has two connectors. Corsair didn't want to offer two additional PCIe cables because of the two EPS connectors which can stress the PSU if fully utilized. Lastly, there are enough peripheral connectors, but as per usual for a Corsair product, the distance between peripheral connectors is short.
