Some more exterior pictures are below. The quality is very good, and the usage of the aluminum for the top panel is a great move.

Below you can see the entire bunch of cables.

Some of you will enjoy the view. The cables are all black (and ATX, PCIe, and EPS are braided), so they fit most users’ needs. They are sufficient in terms of number and length as well. Two 6+2 pin PCIe cables are included measuring 520 and 400 mm. The 24-pin ATX motherboard cable is 30 cm long, whereas the 8-pin ATX CPU leads are 60 cm long (so it’s 8 cm longer than in the SP750). SATA is 480 mm long, and the Molex lead is 480 mm.

And as icing on the cake – you get a 12-pin PCIe 5.0 wire (40 cm long). The cables are modular, so you won’t have to plug in the ones you don’t need in your system, reducing cable clutter in your PC.

This unit delivers enough power for most daily users, providing 70 A on the +12 V rail.

There is a single +12 V rail with a total of 840 W (70 A), so the unit should manage a single 1080 (Ti), RTX 2080 (Ti), RTX 3080, or Radeon RX Vega 64. Two might be at the edge of this PSU’s capability (especially when overclocked, same as the CPU). 

The PSU is black (brushed aluminium), and it does look good with some silver accents (e.g., metallic plate right below the fan).

 There is, of course, an on/off switch as well. According to the manufacturer, we should find quality components inside, so let’s open it up. Next page, please.
