If you are an eco friendly kind of person then this box is really going to appeal to you, it has been made completely from recycled materials and has a really great feel to it. The text is hard to read in places mind you, but we like the appearance, its very striking.
Inside, the unit is protected by heavy duty foam on either side and there is a box on the rear side with the cabling on the right. As this isn't a modular supply all the cables are wrapped with one very large felt cable tie.
The package contains a manual, warranty information, some cable ties and a power cable.
The power supply is protected inside a felt wrap which offers protection against scuffing during shipping. This is reusable which gives a little extra substance to the eco friendly approach from Xigmatek.
nice internal design very clean in layout composition
Most boring looking power supply ever, but lets be honest chaps who the hell ever looks at them anyway 🙂 one installed, thats it until they fail as far as im concerned 🙂
a guy in work has this PSU, its very good. he powers a high end intel 5850 based system and it runs well.
whats an intel 5850, a new CPU?
No i meant an intel based system with HD5850s in crossfire.
for under 70 pounds this is hard to find fault with really. many 700-800w psus are almost twice this price. bit of a bargain find.
May I make a suggestion? Would it be possible, in future PSU reviews, to make at least some mention of the length of the cables, obviously it would be preferable for these measurements to be more specific and scientific.
I think that cable lengths are an important consideration when buying a PSU, obviously not as important as getting a good one, but still a useful bit of information to have.
Thanks for the otherwise, very useful power supply reviews.
