The package and its contents
The PSU arrived in a retail package which is typical for PSUs box. The package is well described with all the key specifications listed outside and even with some graphics showing efficiency and noise levels.
The package includes a power supply, modular cables, a user manual, screws, and a power cord. Simply, everything we need for the installation.
Below you can see all the specifications printed on the box.
The PSU looks great. The exterior is painted black, and it’s scratch-resistant. Of course, there are limits, but at least after installation, there won’t be anything visible.
On the back, we will find a power switch and eco switch. As far as the power switch is obvious then the eco one is designed to switch between semi-passive mode and active mode. Since the PSU is not heating much then we recommend the eco mode as the fan will spin less, gather less dust, and live longer.
The Hydro GT Pro is semi-modular PSU. It’s a good idea as the required cables don’t have to be modular and modular connectors take some more space.
All cables are long and flat which helps in installation and later in airflow. However, I wish to see them braided as it would look much better. Especially when I don’t expect any cable replacement kits with braided wires. This is maybe a wish as most brands don’t have braided cables but these top series PSUs usually do.
On the next page, we will take a closer look at the PSU and its performance.
