As you can see there is plenty of Amperage thrown around, impressive is the single +12V rail rated at 54 AMPs (x12V)= 648W available just on that rail. In theory this PSU could hold two GeForce GTX 780 cards or Radeon HD 7970 cards quite easily (if you don't overclock the GPUs or PC).

Graphics card wise with our tested 650W 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 connectors for the single 24-pin ATX cable, three connectors for the PCI Express and EPS cables, four connectors for the SATA/Molex device cables. There is also a single connector for the Corsair Link interface cable. With a software application you can monitor load, fan RPM etc.

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, including the 24-pin ATX cable, look like flat-connector type cables, without any form of extra sleeving. That is a bit stuff to work with, but does look nice.
