A quick look at the delivery shows that there could have been more cables for connecting graphics cards. Although this is a 1000 Watt power supply it's only possible to connect two graphics cards. We would have expected at least one more cable with two 8-pin plugs. On the other hand there are two cables to connect a total of 10 SATA powered devices. Furthermore there is another cable with three Molex connectors.




With this power supply Chieftec is offering a single rail design regarding 12V. In total you get 83.3A, which can be turned into heat by the graphics cards for instance.
