Unboxing, product pictures and scope of delivery
The packaging is simple, but it fulfills its purpose and protects the power supply effectively. As soon as you open it, you are greeted by lots of recycled cardboard. It’s not origami, but at least it’s practical and sustainable.
It’s a typical DeepCool mesh design with a strange looking fan grill with large openings that allow good airflow. The dimensions of the power supply are compact, especially thanks to the length of only 140 mm. On the front, the exhaust grille has rectangular perforations instead of the typical honeycomb ones, and the power button has a special color. At the rear, the flat native cables exit the power supply through a relatively small opening. The hole does not have a plastic grommet, but its edges are rounded and not sharp, so they cannot damage the cables.
The number of cables and connectors is sufficient for the capacity of the power supply. The EPS cable is extra long, and the ATX cable is long enough for a low-capacity power supply that is mainly placed in small and medium-sized cases. The 12 2-pin PCIe cable is set to 600W by the pins, which is kind of crazy considering the PSU’s maximum output is 550W. According to Intel’s guidelines, it should be set to 300W. Finally, the distance between the peripheral connectors is short at 105 mm, probably because each of the corresponding cables has five connectors, so the voltage drops on the last connectors would be increased with a larger distance.
In tabular form it reads like this:
| Captive Cables | ||||
| Description | Cable Count | Connector Count (Total) | Gauge | In Cable Capacitors |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ATX connector 20 4 pin (560mm) | 1 | 1 | 18-22AWG | No |
| 4 4 pin EPS12V (735mm 145mm) | 1 | 2 | 18AWG | No |
| 6 2 pin PCIe (580mm 120mm) | 1 | 2 | 18AWG | No |
| 6 2 pin PCIe (580mm) | 1 | 1 | 18AWG | No |
| 12 2 pin PCIe (590mm) (600W) | 1 | 1 | 16-26AWG | No |
| SATA (440mm 105mm 105mm) / 4-pin Molex ( 100mm) | 2 | 6 / 2 | 18AWG | No |

| AC Power Cord (1395mm) – C13 coupler | 1 | 1 | 18AWG | – |
Protection circuits
The protection functions are set correctly, although the OCP value of the 12 V rail could ideally be slightly lower when cold, i.e. between 130 % and 135 %. The OCP and OPP trip points at high temperatures are significantly lower and effectively protect the power supply unit. All other important protective functions are present and work well.
| OCP (Cold @ 26°C) | 12V: 97.2A (137.29%), 12.085V 5V: 25.5A (127.5%), 4.948V 3.3V: 25.9A (129.5%), 3.271V 5VSB: 4.8A (160%), 4.962V |
| OCP (Hot @ 44°C) | 12V: 87.6A (123.73%), 12.103V 5V: 24.6A (123%), 4.948V 3.3V: 24.6A (123%), 3.273V 5VSB: 4.8A (160%), 4.936V |
| OPP (Cold @ 26°C) | 1175.06W (138.31%) |
| OPP (Hot @ 43°C) | 1060.39W (124.81%) |
