Seasonic have slightly changed their box artwork to reflect the 80 Plus GOLD standard. It is still the difficult to photograph due to the ‘shiny' finish, but it highlights the new efficiency standard along with a 7+3 year warranty term. This 10 year warranty is actually now 12 years however (HERE), so Seasonic could do with updating their box artwork.
The rear of the box highlights some basic specifications alongside a high resolution image of the power supply itself.
The power supply ships inside a soft felt bag, which is protected inside two thick pieces of Styrofoam.
The bundle is extensive. You get a modular cable bag, resealable plastic wallet, regional specific power connector, two kinds of cable ties, a case badge, branded sticker, an installation guide, mounting screws and user manual.
The Seasonic power supply is a pure modular design. The cables are a mixture of sleeved (ATX, CPU and PCIe) and flat ribbon style (peripherals), for ease of routing.
