Unboxing and scope of delivery
The large cardboard box only offers mediocre protection, as only a bubble wrap protects the power supply. I would like to see packaging foam used instead.
The design is heavily influenced by the distinctive fan grille, which surrounds the fan with a whitish accent. On the front of the device there are the typical parts, the power socket and the power switch. Since there is no semi-passive mode, there is no additional switch. Ten sockets wait for the corresponding cables on the back.
This is a pre-ATX v3.0 power supply, so don’t expect 12VHPWR connections. However, you can use the optional be quiet! buy a 12+4 pin connector to combine this power supply with an NVIDIA 4000 card. I would like to see longer ATX and EPS cables, up to 600mm and 650mm respectively. The included ports are sufficient, and the distance between the peripheral ports is good at 150 mm.

Protection circuits
It is two 12 volt rails, which makes my job more difficult in OCP evaluation. Both have properly set OCP trigger points, but that is not the case with the secondary rails. I keep saying it: there is no need for such high currents on the slave rails, especially 3.3 V. If a user manages to load these rails so high for a long time and at high temperatures, he could destroy the VRMs they generate and thus destroy the power supply. The overcurrent protection is set correctly, and I would like to see a lower threshold for the overtemperature.
