Packaging
Inside the box, you’ll find the the power supply itself, some mounting screws and a load of modular cables.
The Cables
The flat modular cables which includes 1 x Mains power, 1 x Molex, 2 x SATA, 1 x 24-pin ATX power for the motherboard, 3 x 8-pin PCIE power and 1 x 16-pin 12VHPWR (labelled 600W) power cable for graphics card.
A Closer Look
The PSU is fairly compact measuring just 150 x 140 x 86 mm in size. As far as connectors goes, you get the usual 10-pin plus 18-pin ATX power connectors, 1 x 16pin 12VHPWR connector for next-gen graphics cards (up to 600W), 3 x 8-pin PCIE connectors, and 3 x 6-pin power connectors for SATA power and Molex.
For cooling you’ll find a 120mm SMART HYDRAULIC BEARING (HYB) fan which offers enhanced cooling. There doesn’t seem to be an ECO mode, but Gigabyte claims that the fan speed is adjusted accordingly to the automatic power detection, and stops when the system is idle or under low load.
Installation
We didn’t encounter any issues during the installation of the power supply. However, with only 3 x 8-pin PCIE connectors, I don’t think it’s enough. 4 or 5 would have been better.
To power the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER we used the included 16-pin 12VHPWR cable which is rated at 600W.
Used used the Hyte Y70 (non-touch) dual chamber mid-tower chassis, and as you can see, there’s plenty of room in and around the power supply for cable management.
