Box & Bundle
The box provides good protection. Weirdly, XPG decided to downgrade the PSU from Cybenetics Platinum to Gold. This is probably the first time I have noticed marketing trying to downgrade a platform! I will contact them to use the proper Cybenetics badge.

The exterior design is attractive, and the PSU’s footprint is compact, with only 140mm depth. There is no semi-passive switch at the unit’s front side since this mode is absent, but if you ask me, it is better to have the fan controlled through PWM and spinning at all times rather than stopping it at low loads. At the PSU’s backside are nine sockets, including a 12VHPWR connector, which a 12V-2×6 one will soon replace.

There are many cables and connectors, including two EPS and six PCIe connectors. There is also a high-power PCIe cable set at 600W. All in all, the amount of cables and the 600W set high-power PCIe cable are overkill for a PSU with 850W max power. The amount of peripheral cables is enough, and the distance between them is adequate at 150mm.
Hi crmaris, is this one better then the first core reactor? Price difference is big.
If you don’t care for ATX v3.0 and the 12VHPWR cable, you can go to the first version.
Hi crmaris.
After buying this power supply, I decided to test it with a tester from Aliexpress. When the tester is turned on, it starts beeping and Power Good flashes with a reading of 130.
All other indicators are normal.
Can you tell me if this is a factory defect or can I use this power supply?
P.S. I checked the tester on my old Deepcool PQ750M power supply. There it works without beeping and PG blinking.
You can use the PSU. These cheap testers are for basic stuff only.
Thank you, for your reply.
