With no vivid colors or fancy design elements, but, rather, a somber, serious approach, this is a typical be quiet! box.


I would like to see some packing foam inside the box for better protection. Most DOAs are due to bad shipping conditions.


I also mentioned this in the Pure Power FM 750 W review: I like the fan's white accents. Such small details make some products stand out from the crowd, although the exterior design is not as important with PSUs.


The power specifications label almost entirely covers one of the PSU's sides.


The modular panel has the same ten sockets as the 750 W model.


160 mm deep, you cannot call this PSU large.

All but the ATX cable are black and flat—the ATX cable is fully sleeved, though. The cables are also sufficiently long. If you install this PSU into a full-tower chassis, you might run into problems with the EPS cables, but higher-capacity PSUs are normally used in such large cases.


At 150 mm, the distance between peripheral connectors is adequate.
