The PSU inside is packaged nicely and protected in a carton and soft foam. The RM650x seems to resemble the older HX and RXi series a little but aesthetically speaking is dark looking now, with the main changes being an 80 PLUS Gold product, low noise operation, and that awe-inspiring10-year warranty. The PSU is fan-less up to 40% load, which is a really nice feature (we think). That means up to 260 Watts load, this PSU is passive (inaudible to your ears).

The PSU and cables all come in a carton packaging protected with plastic. The PSU is protected by a plastic bag and then a pouch and the modular cables can be found in a separate bag as well. It is a very sturdy packaging ensuring its safe transportation. Also included is a power cable as well as some tie-wraps.

This is a 100% modular model. So you will receive lots of cables that you can connect as needed. We'll sort them out on the next page though as we need to tell a tale or two about them. Overall you can expect an AC power cable, then all DC cables, a few cable ties, four black mounting screws, a simple enough manual.

The design is all black with dark accents, and as simple as that is, it is the better 
look eh? The RMx 650W PSU is obviously ready for all current CPU & GPU generations and offers high capacity on its single +12V rail that offers 54 AMPs. At the front and topside, you will see plenty of air vents, which allows for optimal airflow running through the PSU, cooling down its components and keeping them nicely efficient. Also, obviously, we spot the power connector and the on/off switch. There's a small sticker present informing you about the Hybrid (passive/active fan) functionality.
