Aesthetic Design

The design is definitely different than most power supplies out there in the market. It has rounded edges so that it doesn’t look totally just like a big box. And it we can see that it has a nice mess design on top for the fan with a smooth and sleek black/red color scheme. I like the design change but I don’t really see the point of it because most cases use a box frame or box outlining for power supplies. So I think the power supply will actually be able to wiggle and not be secure in most PC cases. It is aesthetically more pleasing but not necessary in my opinion.

On the rear we can see that the power supply is somewhat semi-modular with the 6 pin and 8 pin connectors. This allows for better overall cable management in your system and you don’t have to bundle a lot of unused wires somewhere in your system. I am always a big fan of semi-modular or even fully-modular power supplies since you really don’t need all the cables given to you.

The new designs in the circuitry and aesthetics make this different the pack of regular and ordinary power supplies. This power supply comes with the whole package and is also semi-modular. It would have been great to see it as fully-modular but it is not necessary.
