BeQuiet! box artwork is immediately recognizable. The designers really do deserve some credit as these stand out in a crowded market.

Inside are the modular cables, a regional specific power cable, a user manual, screws for installation and some cable tidies for enhancing the appearance of the build.

This is not a pure modular design, with the main system cables hardwired into the unit (above left). The modular cables are all high grade and sleeved (above right).

Cable	Connectors
MB 20+4 pin	x1
CPU 4+4 pin	x1
PCI E 8 pin (6 pin +2)	x2
PCI E 6 pin	/
SATA	x5
MOLEX	x4
FDD (floppy)	x1

The cable configuration is decent for a 530W rated unit, with two PCI E 6+2 pin cables supplied. This means the BeQuiet! Pure Power L8 530W CM can be used with a reasonably high end single graphics card, or two lower specified models in Crossfire or SLi.
