Packaging and accessories

There's nothing unusual about the packaging of the TITAN PLA. The box is very informative with images of the product, as well electrical specifications, list of included cables and main features listed on the back and even some graphs of the PSU's fan profile as well as efficiency. However, the readability of the efficiency graph could be improved.


Inside the box we find the set of accessories, including a user's manual, an AC cable, mounting screws, an ATX connector testing plug, MONTECH-branded Velcro ties and the usual plastic zip ties.


Both the cables and the PSU come in their separate pouches.


Besides the cables MONTECH includes a set of combs to better organize the cables in the case.

Cables

In this case the modular cables need some additional description. The individually sleeved cables look great and also have "built-in" cable combs that can be slid to the required position to maintain neat motherboard, CPU and GPU power cables, all of which feature AWG 16 gauge which is great. The smaller peripheral cables for SATA and 4 pin Molex connectors are AWG 18.

Following the white theme, the cables of the TITAN PLA are also white, with just the connectors being black. Each cable strand is individually rubberized and textured and can be organized in a flat configuration with the help of the included cable combs. MONTECH calls these cables "Ultra Soft & High-Density Embossed." And to their credit the cables actually are very flexible.

When it comes to the available connectors, there are little complaints. We have two CPU power cables, and three 6+2 pin PCIe power cables. There are very few people who would find the number of available SATA power connectors insufficient.

The 1000 W mark is right around the spot where we might want to see a second 12V-2x6 cable being available, but that's rarely the case and the TITAN PLA 1000 W is no exception. However, a second 12V-2x6 connector is not even available in the 1200 W version of this supply.

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