Box & Bundle
My sample didn’t come in a proper retail box, so here is a photo of Hazelnut sleeping! He is the only one of my cats who needs a pillow to sleep!

The punched fan grille looks nice, although I would prefer it to have even larger perforations to allow for better airflow. It seems unusual to look at a PSU with fixed cables in 2025, but not all users require modular ones, and some may prefer a lower price and are willing to accept the native cables. I am accustomed to fully modular cable designs, and I find it a significant compromise to have to deal with native ones.
It looks like an octopus!
| Captive Cables | ||||
| Description | Cable Count | Connector Count (Total) | Gauge | In Cable Capacitors |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ATX connector 20+4 pin (560mm) | 1 | 1 | 18-22AWG | No |
| 8 pin EPS12V (670mm) / 4+4 pin EPS12V (+150mm) | 1 | 1 / 1 | 18AWG | No |
| 6+2 pin PCIe (500mm+150mm) | 1 | 2 | 18AWG | No |
| 6+2 pin PCIe (530mm) | 1 | 1 | 18AWG | No |
| 12+4 pin PCIe (610mm) (600W) | 1 | 1 | 16-26AWG | No |
| SATA (510mm+150mm+150mm) / 4-pin Molex (+150mm) | 2 | 6 / 2 | 18AWG | No |
All cables are flat and stealthy, thanks to their black gauges. The ATX connector is shorter than 600mm, but the EPS is long enough. I would highly prefer if there were two dedicated EPS cables instead of a single one, especially since 18AWG gauges are used up to the first connector. The length of the PCIe connectors is high enough, and the single 12+4 pin connector is installed on a long enough cable. Moreover, it is set at 600W, which is relatively high for an 850W PSU; however, nobody takes into account Intel’s respective recommendation, preferring to set 12V-2×6 to the maximum supported wattage to avoid any GPU compatibility issues. Lastly, the number of peripheral connectors is enough for a modern PSU, and the distance between these connectors is adequate. Even a single peripheral cable would be enough for most users, but it doesn’t hurt to have one more.
