As you can see there is plenty of Amperage thrown around, impressive is the single +12V rail rated at 70.8 AMPs (x12V)= 849.6W available just on that rail. In theory this PSU could hold two GeForce GTX 980 cards or Radeon R9 290X cards quite easily (if you don't overclock the GPUs or PC) too wildly.

Graphics card wise with our tested 850W model you get to play with a luxurious four sets of 6+2 Pin PCIe connectors, that's right, as that is plenty enough for two graphics cards with each two 8-pin PCI PEG connectors. What catches the eye is the sleeved cabling with dark colored connectors. That's a good design. The cables all have a proper nice length as well. Being a modular power supply, the rear side of the PSU is all about modular cable connectors. You will spot two native connectors cables for the single 24-pin ATX cable and CPU power (4/8-pin). The rest is modular.

The PSU has a modular design (for the biggest part) so you can add the cables that you need and disregard the cables you don't need. It keeps the PC nice and tidy without an unneeded flurry-slash-spaghetti of redundant cables. All cables aside from the 24-pin ATX cable, look like flat-connector type cables, without any form of extra sleeving. That is a bit stiff to work with, but does look nice. The power supply itself is made in a nice matte black with green and white highlight.
