At the front, we find a pretty large 80 PLUS Gold badge, the model number, and four smaller badges depicting the most notable features. On the back is a features list, the power specifications table, and a description of all available connectors and cable lengths.


The PSU is well protected inside the box. Additions only consist of four fixing bolts, the modular cables, and the AC power cord. There are no zip ties or Velcro straps.


The front consists of the honey-comb exhaust grill, AC receptacle, and power switch.


The large power specifications label is found on the bottom


The modular board hosts ten sockets in total. The EPS and PCIe sockets are identical and electrically compatible.


Measuring only 140 mm deep, this is a very compact 750 W PSU.

There are two EPS and four PCIe cables, which is enough for a 750 W PSU, but I spot two problems here. Firstly, the EPS connector should at least be 650 mm long, and secondly, there are no dedicated PCIe cables. If you plan on using a power-hungry GPU, keep in mind that you cannot use a single PCIe cable with two connectors. This cable and, more specifically, its plug on the PSU, won't be able to handle the load, which can lead to catastrophic results for both the PSU and the connected graphics card. If dedicated PCIe connectors were provided, there wouldn't be any such issue. With the current configuration, you will have to use two cables with four PCIe connectors in total for a single graphics card, which also means dealing with the two unused connectors.


The distance between SATA connectors is ideal, which is not the case for the 4-pin Molex connectors as they aren't far enough apart.
