Packaging and accessories

The Titan Gold comes in quite an informative box detailing key features like 80 Plus Gold, Cybenetics Gold and the 10-year warranty logos as well as an image of the power supply unit itself. At the back there is further explanation of these specs along with descriptions of other features, such as the hybrid mode for the FDB fan and being rated for the ATX 3.0 standard. There's also an outline of the available connectors.

Detailed power specifications and a list of protections offered can be found on the side of the box while the other side includes diagrams for the fan operating speed, efficiency and AC vs DC power across the power range (albeit only the minimal three data points are included for efficiency).


Inside the box we find the usual set of items. We're greeted by manuals first, with the PSU secured in foam underneath, as well as the accessory bag.


The accessory bag contains four screws, the AC power cable and the DC cables. All cables apart from the sleeved ATX 24 pin and the 12VHPWR cables are of the clean, flat, non-sleeved format which seems to be the current standard for modular cables these days.

Cables

The specification from the vendor includes the number of headers, but not the number of included cables or the spacing between connectors. This should really be common information on the manufacturer's website that doesn't require potential buyers to find out in a third party review.

Apart from that, the actual cable configuration is quite standard for ATX 3.0 PSUs in the 800–1000 W range, with a single 12VHPWR cable (for up to 600 W power delivery) with three separate PCIe cables (five connectors in total) and two EPS12 cables. The 150 mm gaps between secondary ports on the cables is appreciated compared to 100–120 mm gaps that can occasionally be found on other products. And the 12 SATA power cables in total make this unit very appealing for storage-heavy setups.

It is very pleasant to see that higher current rated cables (PCIe and CPU) are of 16 AWG gauge, especially since the dual connector PCIe cables are included. The peripheral connectors are at a more modest 18 AWG.

The cables have no inline capacitors for ripple/noise suppression.

While it would have been nice to see slightly longer, 60 cm PCIe cables included, there's very little to complain about in the cabling section.
