A Closer Look – Exterior


Power Supply Unit

First impressions of the power supply are very good, it’s got all the premium build quality and design that we’ve come to expect from be quiet! Tough exterior, anti-vibration mounts and a gorgeous paint job.

The fan grille is really nicely designed with thick rails passing over the be quiet! 135mm fan. As you can see here, the 24-pin cable is hard-wired, but since you’re absolutely going to need this one, I see no issue with this.

Down one side we’ve got a slightly reflective finish on the branding, with slightly embossed lettering, which is the same on each side of the unit.

On the base, you’ll find the specifications sticker. Here we can see that the unit can provide 45A on the 12V rails, more than enough power for a decent GPU and other devices.

Lots of ventilation around the back, as well as a thick rubber strip around the outside, which will help provide an air tight anti-vibration fitting to your chassis.

On the left side, you’ll find four fan connectors, which can be used in conjunction with the fan cables that are included in the box, as well as the OCK connection header. There are five peripheral connectors for storage drives and similar devices, four 12-pin PCIe connectors and two 4+4 pin headers for motherboard/CPU power.

Cabling

The included cables are of a good quality with durable headers. The cable braiding isn’t the best looking, but it is well made and will do a great job of protecting your cables for wear. Here you can see we’ve got two 6+2 headers for each of the two 12-pin cables, more than enough to connect a dual-GPU configuration. There’s also an 8-pin and a 4+4-pin CPU power cable.

A good mixture of Molex and SATA cable, as well as a FDD header, more than enough to connect all of your storage devices.IMG_1653
