The box has an interesting design that focuses on the RGB colors.


Protection for the product inside the box is adequate.


Besides the paperwork and a set of screws, you will also get a nice butterfly sticker, as well as a pouch containing all the modular cables.


With the addition of Corsair's CX-F line, you now have more options should you want a PSU featuring a white paint job. The only problem with the Corsair units is that they are nearly as much as their respective Super Flower Leadex III ARGB Gold counterparts, with the latter offering higher performance and increased efficiency.


The cube-shaped modular connectors look nice, and lighting effects make them even more appealing.


Dimensions are normal, so you won't run into installation issues with this PSU if you have an ATX-compatible case.

There are two EPS connectors on dedicated cables. Super Flower didn't use 16AWG gauges, which would offer better load regulation. On the other hand, thicker gauges would make the cables far less flexible. The only downside is installing in-line cables, making the cables bulky and tougher to route through narrow holes. If it were up to me, I would ditch these caps and use ribbon cables everywhere. Matching colors would have been nice as well, which Corsair has done with its white CX-F units.


The peripheral cables are flat, which I prefer. The problem here is the small distance of 100 mm between 4-pin Molex connectors.
