There is one top fan; a quiet fluid bearing  fan which activated only when a higher than 50% load or temperature higher than 25 Degrees C is recorded. For this Hybrid Fan mode needs to be enabled.

The power supply stays incredible cool, even at a 700+ Watt stress test the PSU was just lukewarm and the fan actually stayed off for a while. upto roughly 500 Watt the fan will remain disabled unless the PSU gets too hot. Alternatively and fully your choise, you can flick a switch which will activate the fan regardless.

The PSU has an ATX design yet is slightly more lengthy, it'll fit in any chassis though, its dimensions are: 150 x 190 x 86mm (W x L x H).

The blue sticker, it's informing you of that Hybrid fan mode. The Hybrid Silent Fan Control provides 3 operational stages: Fanless, Silent, and Cooling Mode. The sticker is actually blocking a couple modular connectors, so be sure to remove it before use.

When it comes to wiring we feel that there's enough connectors for this model, have a look at the supplied connectors, all with decent length by the way. The ATX motherboard connector as well reached to 60CM, the Molex and SATA power cables 60 to 85 CM, the 8-pin CPU ATX power connector is 70 cm and the PCIE graphics connectors reach 60 cm.

Below an overview of connectors, and yes that really is 8x PCI-E 8/6 pin connectors, so Quad SLI/Crossfier is an option.

We see rubber ribbon dark and flat cabling with dark colored connectors. That's a good design. The cables have a proper nice length as well. Purely for aesthetic reasons of course. The Motherboard ATX connector cable however is sleeved.

Here we can observe modular options, really simple but great stuff. The +12V rails certainly is excessive alright. You'll get one massive rail of them rated at 87 Amps. 87Ax12V=1044 Watt.
