Interesting to see a higher capacity PSU in a small form factor, thought the components took up a fair bit of space although I haven't really kept up with development so perhaps it's possible to shrink things down a bit for these parts too even if it's probably to a lesser degree. Large fan probably helps keeping heat and such down too, as long as dust buildup isn't too problematic I guess since disassembling a PSU can be a real pain depending on how it was secured. 😀 (EDIT: Though I guess the image already shows it's not too problematic in that regard, easily visible screws and no weird format for them either.) EDIT: Although I suppose you wouldn't normally need a full 1.2kw of power for most current rigs, 1080 or Vega GPU's in SLI perhaps might get close to breaking the kilowatt threshold? (Although a few years down the line if efficiency is starting to be affected it'll still hold up nicely, heh.) EDIT: Ah but it only has 3x 8-pin PCIE connectors? That could be rough for even two-card SLI (Or Crossfire, just call it multi-GPU ha ha.) depending on the design of said GPU. (And some motherboards also allow for a optional cable for PCIE power unless that's no longer needed on the newest boards, things change in just a few short years.)

This looks like something good for a server build. Dual CPU connections and 10 pin as well for them damn HP boards lol. Even my 1000w has 4 PCIe 8 pins.
