Box & Bundle
All Sharkoon samples arrived in a plain white box and not the standard retail package, so here is a photo of one of my cats, Hazelnut, relaxing on a gaming chair.

The PSU has a punched fan grille, which is not so restrictive. On its front side, besides the AC receptacle and the power switch, you will also find a smaller switch for toggling on/off the fan’s semi-passive operation. Sharkoon’s logo is on one of the sides, while around the back, the modular panel includes nine sockets, one of which is 12V-2×6 type.

All cables are short because SFX units are destined for small chassis with restricted internal space. The amount of cables is satisfactory. An additional 6+2 pin connector would be highly welcome for strong GPUs not utilizing the 12+4 pin connector. Sharkoon provides only a single 4-pin Molex connector, and this is through an adapter. Lastly, the distance between the peripheral connectors is adequate at 150mm.
All cables are flat and painted black to be stealthy inside a dark interior chassis.
