External Examination:
Starting with the basics, the top and bottom view of the power supply look identical. All surfaces of the power supply have a flawless mirror finish. Beware of fingerprints!
Turning to one of the sides I located the standard power rating sticker. Here we will find out the specific power rating of each of the major rails. As you can see, each of the +12V rails is rated at 15A, which is sufficient for PCI-Express video cards, however I would prefer a little more on each of them.
Turning our attention to the back of the power supply we find the standard components. We have an 80mm exhaust fan, AC plug, and a power switch. What you do not find is the voltage switch. The hard power switch is tiny for me, as I like to have a large switch so it is easier to find and use.
Finally, we have the front of the power supply, and as you can see here, may of the connections are familiar, the top row contains four 4-pin Molex connectors, while the second row starts with four 6-pin connectors (the two grey ports are for SATA cables and the two white ports are for PCI-Express). Next you have an 8-pin connector which is used to provide your motherboard power on either an 8-pin or 4-pin header, and finally you have the standard 20+4 power connector which will provide the main portion of the power to your motherboard.
