Box & Bundle
The box’s appealing design shows the PSU’s modular panel on its face. Inside, the protection is adequate since packing foam surrounds the product.

The exterior design stands out from the crowd thanks to the shifted modular panel, perforations at the fan grille, and the unit’s exhaust side. Around the back, where you typically find the modular panel in “standard” PSUs, there are the iCUE RS-485, Type-C, and tachometer output ports.
The modular panel has twelve sockets, including two 12V-2×6 headers.

The cables are long enough, and some high-power cables and the 24-pin ATX connector use thicker (AWG 16) gauges to reduce voltage drop at high loads. It is weird not to see AWG 16 on the EPS cables, though. The pair of 12V-2×6 cables will support strong workstations, with an equal number of 5090s.
The number of peripheral connectors is more than enough, but the distance between them is short at just 100mm.
Software
You must use Corsair’s iCUE software to “talk” to the power supply. Thankfully, this application has improved significantly over time, though there is still room for improvement. From iCUE, you can monitor power settings, toggle between single and multiple 12V rails on the fly, and create custom fan speed profiles.
To “connect” the PSU to your system, use the included USB-C cable and launch the latest iCUE app.
