Box & Bundle
The PSU comes in a box with only the basic graphics on its face: a photo of the PSU, efficiency badges, the brand’s name, and the model number. More information is provided on the back side of the package.

The punched fan grille makes the PSU stand out from the other be quiet! PSUs I have reviewed so far. It is not too restrictive to allow for good airflow, so the fan can operate at lower speeds and still provide decent airflow. At the front side, the exhaust grille doesn’t extend up to the PSU’s top side, which is typically the case.
The modular panel consists of nine sockets, one of which is a 12V-2×6 type set for 600W max power output.

The 850W model has the same cable configuration as the 1000W model. The ATX and PCIe cables are long enough, while the EPS cables are longer at 700mm, so there won’t likely be any compatibility issues in a large chassis. The number of EPS and PCIe connectors is enough, and there is also a 12VHPWR connector available, set at 600W. There are plenty of SATA connectors, but only a single 4-pin Molex. Most devices don’t use 4-pin Molex, so this won’t likely be an issue. Lastly, the distance between the peripheral connectors is adequate.
