In other words, pretty much exactly and all you could want from a PSU.

Connections

As a fully modular power supply, you are provided with more than enough connections here to suit any ‘normal’ mid to high-tier system. The cables themselves are not overly long, but with the ‘upright’ style of the design, fitting them to your motherboard and peripherals shouldn’t prove to give you any difficulty.
