Packaging and Cabels
The box arrived in good shape, still factory sealed in plastic. It has some eye catching graphics of a black tiger as well as some photos of the unit and a few of the specific features on the front. On the back there is a more in depth chart that shows where all the different components attach into the power supply's modular plugs. There is also a chart with the rated wattages for this and its big brother.


On the sides of the box are yet even more pictures showing each of the different cable and connector types. The chart lays them out and explains their various functions. On the other side panel is a graphic showing how the EMI filter cuts down on noise to your SLI video cards. Opening up the box there is a plain Jane user manual that goes over the basics, as well as a power cord a few zip ties and some screws. There truly is a staggering number of connectors and cables, that thankfully can be removed. The cables are long and should have no problems reaching the far ends of even the largest of cases.

One thing I really love about modular power supplies is that you only use the cables you need. E-Power takes this one step farther with their 4+4 EPS/P4 connector, if your board does not require the full 2x4 EPS connector simply pull it apart and just use the 2x2 P4.
