Box & Bundle
The graphics design of the box is appealing. You will find a photo of the PSU, Cougar’s logo, the product’s model name, and several badges with the PSU’s most important features on the package’s face. Only the Cybenetics efficiency and noise badges are missing, which looks bad, in my eyes, at least.

The punched fan grille looks good, and it doesn’t seem to be too restrictive. The unit’s compact dimensions are an asset, especially for smaller chassis. Lastly, the modular panel hosts eleven sockets.

Two EPS connectors on dedicated cables, four PCIe 6+2 pin on two cables, a single 12VHPWR set at 450W, ten SATA, and only two 4-pin Molex connectors. The distance between the SATA and 4-pin Molex connectors is short, and I would like to see at least three 4-pin Molex connectors. What makes an impression is that the ATX connector is longer than the EPS ones. Usually, it is the other way around.
