Box & Bundle
I got a pre-production sample for the review, which didn’t ship into the retail box, so the only photo I have to show you here is the power cord that accompanied the PSU. The rest of the cables are on the PSU itself!

The PSU’s dimensions are super compact. The fan’s grill is a bit restrictive, not allowing optimal airflow. Its backside doesn’t look so good, with all the native cables. Non-modular PSUs look strange to me now since I mostly encounter fully-modular ones.

The high power cables are sleeved, while the peripheral cables are flat. There are two EPS connectors on a single cable, which could be problematic if the respective cable was modular and the PSU’s capacity was higher. The pair of PCIe connectors are on a single cable, too, and there are two peripheral cables with six SATA and two 4-pin Molex connectors. Since this is a fixed-cable PSU, XPG tried to keep their amount minimal, and I agree. Lastly, all cables are long, and the distance between all peripheral connectors is ideal at 150mm.
Wanna see more PCIe cables, and it would be good a 105°C cap
