Packaging

The package has a white background. At the front is a butterfly, SF's logo, and the series name is at the front-bottom. The unit's capacity is mentioned in the bottom-left corner, and the 80 Plus Platinum badge can be found in the top-right corner.


This side has a list with the unit's most interesting features, including the fully modular cable design and its clear cube connectors.


This side includes an interesting image of the unit's internals. Unfortunately, it is small, so you won't figure out much by looking at it, but we include detailed pictures of the unit's internals later on in the review.


The most important characteristics of the PSU are highlighted on the rear of the box, including the Japanese caps used, the thermal fan control system that allows for semi-passive operation, the fully modular panel, and the specially designed main transformer. You will also find the specifications table and a graph depicting the fan's operation in semi-passive mode on this side.

Contents

The contents of the box are neatly arranged and the PSU is well protected by packing foam.


A nice white bag with SF's name on it stores the PSU. The latter is also wrapped in plastic for even more protection.


A pretty large, black pouch stores all modular cables. The bundle includes the user's manual, an AC power cord, and a set of fixing bolts. The bundle unfortunately doesn't include any zip ties or Velcro straps.

Exterior

The white color of the unit looks very nice and has a good finish. The fan grill continues the white theme well, adding to the PSU's overall appearance, but we can't say the same of the classic honeycomb grill at the front. Also, the fan-mode switch above the AC receptacle is tiny and has no explanation marks. SF could put a sticker there to explain its functionality. SF's logo is embossed into the casing on one side and the specifications table has been installed on the other. The rear side has the beautiful modular panel with LED lit sockets.


The unit is pretty large, and we discovered plenty of internal room once we opened it, so its casing could be smaller. We really wonder why SF didn't use a smaller case instead to save on material costs.


All cables are stealth and the few that aren't flat are fully sleeved. The sleeving is good enough, although definitely not topnotch. The clear cube connectors are catchy, and we also fancied the colored EPS and PCIe connectors.

We also made a short video to show you the lit up modular panel. Only the occupied sockets are, as you can see, lit.
