Packaging

At the front of the large and heavy box, the PSU's model number is given in big letter. The Titanium efficiency badge is really small, almost as though EVGA were ashamed of it! Given it is a really hard certification to get, we expected it to be much larger in order to attract some attention.


The usual marketing stuff for an EVGA product can be found on this side of the box.


Some useful information on the PSU has also been put on this side, including its features and a list of its cables. There are also three photos of which one depicts the PSU's internals, and a table in the bottom-right corner goes over the unit's power specifications.

EVGA made sure their packaging protects the unit well in order to avoid DOAs (Dead on Arrival), which are unpleasant for the consumer and would cost the company a lot of money. The PSU has also been put inside a cloth bag for some additional protection.


The bundle includes several Velcro straps, a set of fixing bolts, the user's manual, an ATX-bridging plug, and the modular cables.


The provided AC cable is very thick and features a heavy duty C19 connector.

Exterior

This PSU looks just like the G2 and P2 models of similar capacity. Its double-textured matte coating is of high quality and fingerprint proof. At the front is the honeycomb mesh that allows for hot air to exit, and the power switch is right next to the C20 inlet.


Both sides are covered in large decals and the unit's specifications. You need to deal with four hex-shaped screws on top and two more on each side to take the top cover off. The screws on both sides are covered by these decals, so you will have to peel their edges off to unscrew them. EVGA also put a sticker with the PSU's part and serial numbers on the bottom.


The rear is almost fully occupied by the modular panel. The ECO switch you can use to enable or disable semi-passive mode is on this side. Personally, we believe its location to be subpar since you will have to access the interior of your chassis to get to it.


The punched out fan grille should be less restrictive.


The 1600 T2 is huge! This is one of the largest PSUs available on the market today, so make sure it will fit inside your chassis before buying it.

Cables

All cables are completely black, but only those holding the Berg connectors are flat. We would like the peripheral cables to be flat as well to make sure they hamper airflow inside a chassis less. The ATX, EPS, and PCIe cables couldn't be flat because they have extra filtering capacitors attached to them, which Super Flower is known for, especially with its high-end units.


Sleeving quality isn't the best, and most cables are rigid enough to make cable management difficult. If you want to, you could buy optional, individually sleeved cabling kits from EVGA; however, these kits are not cheap.
