Packaging

At the face of the box are a quarter-shot of the PSU and the series number inside a yellow frame. Below the aforementioned frame are three icons for the five year warranty, its Gold-certified efficiency, and the ErP Lot 6 compliance.


The most interesting bit on this side is the table with the unit's power specifications.


Some photos on this side depict the small modular board and fan grill, and there is a shot of the unit's internals, a modular connector, the stamped Fractal Design logo on the bottom of the PSU, and Fractal's sticker above the AC receptacle.


On top of the box is a brief features description, provided in several languages.


As per usual, the rear side of the box provides some more detailed information about the product. In this case, we have two graphs, one with the unit's efficiency and the other with the fan's speed throughout. There is also a visual list of all available affixed and modular connectors, and several paragraphs of text highlight this product's most crucial features.

The packaging is sturdy enough, and two pieces of packing foam protect the PSU inside well. A nice touch is the cloth bag in which the PSU is stored.


The bundle includes some Velcro straps, a single cable-tie, the AC power cord, a set of fixing bolts, and a user's manual.

Exterior

Although its design is rather typical for a PSU, the white fan provides for a nice looks, especially in combination with the fan grill. The finish is good, although close to glossy, and the small on/off switch is installed right next to the AC receptacle at the front.


On one of two sides is the specifications label. The other hosts a large decal with Fractal Design's logo and a much smaller decal with the unit's model number.


The small modular panel is in the back. The native cables exit the enclosure through a large hole that is covered by a plastic grommet for some additional protection.


Fractal Design's trademark, a snowflake, has been stamped into this side. It will provide a nice view if you have a windowed chassis and install the PSU with the fan facing downward.


Compact dimensions and the white fan look nice and combine well with the fan grill and its parallel spokes. All native cables are also fully sleeved back into the casing.


Strangely enough, the main ATX cable isn't stealth or flat, which all other cables are. We strongly believe that it should also be flat and all-black.


Flat cables are ideal for PSUs since they allow for more airflow inside cases, especially in those with less internal space.
