Box & Bundle
The box generally provides good protection, thanks to its sturdy construction and foam inserts at its internals. On its front side, besides the PSU’s photo and model number, you also get the ATX v3.0 and PCIe 5.0 badges, which look outdated since newer revisions exist. Around the back, you will find more technical details.

The design makes it stand out from the crowd, but I disapprove of the restricted fan grille, which affects airflow and thus, requires higher fan speeds. With a less restricted fan grille, noise output could be lower. The modular socket has eleven(11x) sockets to smoothly deliver the PSU’s full power.

The cable amount is suitable for an 850W unit, but some areas need improvement. The EPS cables should be longer than the ATX, being at least 650 mm long. The EPS and ATX connector gauges are not 16AWG, but I won’t whine since the PSU’s capacity is not that high. I will complain about the short distance between peripheral connectors, at only 120mm. Ideally, it should be 150mm.
