The box is large, and at its face is a photo of the PSU with the fan grille and modular panel on display.


Protection inside the box is adequate, with packing foam surrounding the product and a bag for extra protection.


The bundle includes the modular cables and AC power cord, set of fixing bolts, Velcro strap, and user manual.


The exterior design is appealing, at least to me. The exhaust holes at the front are tiny, which restricts airflow.


Cougar's logo is stamped into both sides of the chassis. The power specifications label is at the bottom.


The modular board has 17 sockets, which will have the PSU deliver its full power smoothly.


At 180 mm long, this PSU is pretty large. However, this won't be an issue for most ATX PC cases.


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

The ATX and EPS cables are both 650 mm long, which is adequate. Besides two EPS cables, there are seven PCIe connectors on dedicated cables and two on a single cable. As you can see, there are more than enough legacy PCIe connectors, but no 12+4 pin one. Hopefully, Cougar will provide one soon.


There are many peripheral connectors. I would like the 4-pin Molex connectors to be 150 mm apart.


The PSU came with a US power cord.
