Box & Bundle
The box provides good protection. At its face, we find a quarter-shot of the PSU and a series of badges describing the product’s main features. For more details, look at the backside.

All intake and exhaust grilles are punched into the PSU’s chassis. The fan’s grille is too restrictive, not helping for optimal airflow. The modular panel has nine sockets. The 1050W and 1200W models have 12 sockets.

There are enough connectors but not as many cables, so both EPS connectors had to be installed on the same cable. This is not safe, especially with 18AWG gauges. These connectors should be installed on dedicated cables since they can deliver more power than 6+2 pin ones because they use four total power pins instead of the three that 6+2 pin connectors use. The 12+4 pin connector is set for 600W power delivery, which is insane given the PSU’s capacity! Lastly, the amount of peripheral cables is satisfactory, and the distance between them is adequate.
