The large box has a photo of the PSU on its face, showing the modular panel, which is fully covered by sockets.


Foam spacers protect the PSU inside the box. A smaller box within contains all cables.


The bundle includes a safety leaflet, fixing bolts, and zip ties. As usual, for a Corsair sample, there is a USB flash drive containing the detailed performance report.


We find triangular perforations, Corsair's most recent design trend in PSUs.


Stickers with the model number are on the sides, and the power specification label is on the bottom.


The modular panel is fully occupied by connectors since 1500 W requires lots of cabling to pass through the load through smoothly. There is also a Type-C socket for connection to the system.


Measuring 200 mm in depth, this PSU has a large footprint.


Here are some more photos of the PSU from various angles.

There are plenty of cables and connectors, and thankfully there are no in-cable capacitors, which might help to offer lower ripple, but make the cables much less flexible, thus harder to route.


The distance between the peripheral connectors should be longer, at 150 mm.
