Box & Bundle
The box is plain, but its main job is to protect the product, and it succeeds in that. At the internals, the PSU is surrounded by packing foam.

The design is typical since this is a PSU and not a car! Indeed, a unique PSU design attracts attention, but you won’t see it again if you install it in your system, so there is no point in spending a lot on the external design—at least in my opinion.
Around the back, you will find nine sockets. None supports high-power connectors (12V-2×6), but this doesn’t prevent the PSU from meeting the ATX v3.1 requirements for units without high-power connectors. It just peaks at 150% transient loads instead of 200%.
Cables
| Modular Cables | ||||
| Description | Cable Count | Connector Count (Total) | Gauge | In Cable Capacitors |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ATX connector 20+4 pin (300mm) | 1 | 1 | 18-22AWG | No |
| 4+4 pin EPS12V (400mm) | 2 | 2 | 18AWG | No |
| 6+2 pin PCIe (400mm+120mm) | 1 | 2 | 18AWG | No |
| SATA (120mm+120mm+120mm) | 2 | 6 | 18AWG | No |
| 4-pin Molex (120mm+120mm+120mm) | 1 | 3 | 18AWG | No |
| AC Power Cord (1100mm) – C13 coupler | 1 | 1 | 18AWG | – |
All cables are short since the unit is destined for a small chassis with restricted internal space, so longer cables would probably create issues. Given the PSU’s capacity, the number of cables and connectors is adequate. Lastly, a luxury note here: all cables are individually sleeved!
Great review, definitely worried about its inrush current, which seemed really high. I also found TR-TPFX-650 (Platinum), would you be able to do a review on it? I mean it claims to use better material, but barely any review out there.

Thanks
Only if TR sends me a sample. I cannot find them here in Cyprus.
Can you do a review of the Thermalright TP-1000/1200? There’s a frustratingly low amount of information about it. Thanks in advance.
If I manage to find them sure.
