Good power supply, bad cables.

the same size as my old 650 watt PSU it replaced and more efficient. But I was hoping that modularity would help with cabling, but it actually got worse. The cables are very rigid and the position of the connectors at the ends of the cables is not suitable for my circuit. I had to install the SSD upside down otherwise the middle SATA connector wouldn't work and I had to use 3 VGA cables for my two graphics cards because the connectors wouldn't bend to reach them and even with that it seems to me impossible to bend the cables at sharp angles to actually be able to close my case, the graphics card connectors and the SATA connectors on my case all face the door directly, and with the narrowness of the cables I have no way of closing those doors at the moment. My old non-modular power supply never had this problem. The cables are too stiff and the spade lugs too short to be properly positioned. In addition, small parts made installation more difficult than necessary, for example the 4+4 mainboard connection was completely separate and had no connection option, which made installation in the tightest of spaces even more difficult, since instead of 1 connector, 2 had to be snapped on.

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
