This PSU is not a modular design so all the cables are tied up and fed directly into the chassis.

The unit is finished in a plan dark finish with the name of the product on the side in the same graffiti typeface as the box. There is a single large 120mm fan at the top.

DC Output Rating
Voltage	+3.3V	+5V	+12V	-12V	+5Vsb
Current (A)	24A	15A	35A	0.3A	2.5A
Ripple (mV)	50	50	120	120	50
Total Power	120W		420W	3.6W	12.5W

Considering the modest power output, the GX450 can deliver a high level of current to the single 12V rail.

There is only one PCIe 6 pin power connector which means if you want to use higher end graphics cards then power adapters will need to be used.
