Packaging
The power supply is nicely packaged and comes with a pouch for all the flat modular cables, including of course the 1 x PCIe 5.0 cable featuring the new 16-pin connectors.
The Cables
As you can see below, you get the full set of cables which includes 1 x Molex, 3 x SATA, 1 x 24-pin ATX power for the motherboard, 2 x 8-pin CPU and 2 x 8-pin PCIE cables for graphics cards. And finally, the new PCIe 5.0 cable featuring the new 16-pin connectors for next-gen graphics cards (labelled 450W).
You also get some cable ties and set of mounting screws.
A Closer Look
As usual with all Thermaltake power supplies, this PSU has a solid construction and has fan grilles for cooling on the top, sides and rear. The power supply is fully modular with 1 x 12VHPWR connector for next-gen graphics cards, 4 x 8-pin PCIE connectors for motherboard and graphics card, and 4 x 6-pin power connectors for SATA power and 4-pin Molex.
On the top of the PSU, you’ll see the 135mm fan inside for cooling. Next to the mains power switch, you’ll find the Smart Zero fan on/off switch, which when enabled, pauses the fan to allow users to run the PSU is super slient mode. When the PSU detects heavy load … the fan will automatic turn on and continue to spin.
Installation
No issues with installation. I love the flat modular cables, because it allows me to only use the cables I need and thus making my cable management much easier due to less cables being used.
