The Powercolor Extreme 1000W PSU arrives in a substantial, attractively designed red and black box with details of the main features on the front and specification listings on the sides and rear.
Inside the supply is kept seperate from the cables and accessories with a dual box structure. There is a little credit card shaped note which highlights the fact that Powercolor have taken every possible step to ensure the highest quality standards.
There is a detailed manual supplied and the smaller box contains the modular cabling, a storage pouch, screws, power cable and several cable felt based cable tidies.
The branded pouch is a nice touch as it holds all the cables within four individual sleeves.
As expected for a high end 1000W power supply we are presented with a full array of cabling to cover all eventualities. These cables however deserve a little discussion as they are all sleeved and ‘extra length' – 60cm long, with the HDD Cabling extending to 90cm for the biggest cases and multiple drive configurations.
The rear is very nicely laid out with foolproof listings under each port to explain exactly what to connect.
The power supply is one of the most striking looking units we have seen in recent years, primarily black with high tech lettering and a bright red 140mm fan taking centerstage.
If they made power supplies with a sports car flavour then the Powercolor Extreme 1000W is without a doubt, the american muscle car. This is a mean looking design and we love it. The front is vented to allow for good airflow outside the chassis.
