Packaging
The PSU and its box were shipped in a sturdy cardboard box, which kept its contents intact.
The PSU's box lacks any fancy graphics or detailed bits of information on the product. At the front is a photo of the PSU on a black backdrop, and the series description is given in large letters in the bottom-right corner. Strangely enough, the 80 PLUS Titanium badge hasn't been put on this side of the box.
On the back are another photo of the PSU, a short features description in Chinese, and a series of icons for the Titanium efficiency, DC-DC converters, Japanese caps, and 3-year warranty, which is too short for a premium PSU.
Contents
Packing foam protects the internals of the box, and the PSU is inside a nice cloth bag.
The bundle includes another bag you can stow any unused modular cables in. SAMA sent us a UK power cord, and the bundle also includes a set of fixing bolts and an inspection card.
This leaflet probably has to do with the product's warranty.
Exterior
This is a nice-looking PSU with an external design that easily makes it stand out from the crowd. The honeycomb mesh isn't restricted to the front as it extends to the fan grille. The lack of edges surely makes constructing this chassis harder, which increases production costs, but it does add a ton of appearance points. Lastly, a small power switch has been installed right next to the AC socket.
The side plates are made of aluminum, are colored in a nice rose gold, and have anodized edges, which looks sleek!
Here is the large specifications label on the PSU's bottom. There are also two small stickers, one for the hi-pot tests and the other persumably for the product's model number. Screws are hiding under both of these stickers.
The modular board at the PSU's rear hosts 15 sockets in total. Six of them are for the PCIe and EPS cables, two for the 24-pin ATX connector, and five for peripheral cables.
Distinctive looks, that's for sure, and the finish on these aluminum plates is just great. The PSU's finish is of good quality as well.
Cables
All gauges feature braided sleeving of high quality. The cables are very flexible as well, which will make routing them inside the chassis much easier.
SAMA spared no expense with these cables, and the result is nice. The feel of these cables is nothing less than amazing, and their look is great as well. You won't find many PSUs that ship with individually sleeved cables, and currently available cable kits are very expensive.
The SATA cables only feature braided sleeving up to their first connector, which allowed us to take a look at the quality silicone gauges that are 18AWG thick.
Here are some close-ups of the modular cables and their connectors.
