Box & Bundle
I got an early sample without the retail packaging, so I only have to show you a photo of the provided cables.

The PSU is compact, with only 140mm depth. The fan grille is not restricted, using the same design as the non-VE models. On the front side, you will only find the AC receptacle and the power switch since there is no semi-passive mode; hence, there is no need for a corresponding switch. I have to say here that I agree with XPG’s decision to ditch the semi-passive operation since it is way better to have the fan spinning at low speeds under light loads, without making any noise, rather than starting at higher speeds, making its presence felt.

The VE edition has fewer cables than the non-VE. Still, the provided cables are enough to deliver the PSU’s full power without any issues. All cables are flat and stealthy, and no in-cable caps are used, which is the preferred method.
The 600W setting of the 12+4 pin connector is overkill, given that the PSU’s maximum power is 750! Normally, it should be set at 300W.
If this were to be evaluated on a tier list, would it be tier A or tier B? And the 850w model is available in my country for 150 dollars, do you think it is worth buying?
I don’t do tiers, I do best PSUs with actual ratings 🙂 Please check the corresponding article
I think it is expensive at 150 dollars, always for amazon.com standards/
I think so too, the merchants in my country like to give high prices. I guess this is what they call the free market.
i think ELITE the best tier 2 caps on a market, i found out ASUS PRIME PSU was using non Japanese Caps but used ELITE caps as a bulk Caps
