Packaging & Accessories


The first thing that you notice when you first handle the box of the Zeus 1200W is not only its size but how much it weighs. Out of all of the power supplies that we have tested, this one has the honor of having the largest and heaviest package.

Yet, all of that heft and size would be for naught if the graphic design department was asleep at the wheel. Thankfully, all of the features of this power supply are well conveyed on the exterior of the ZM1200’s well-designed black box. The front gives a blow by blow rundown of the main features while also showing that this power supply is compatible with three GPU setups (more on this later) and has a fully modular interface. Meanwhile, the back of the box shows a photo of the interior components, output characteristics and even screenshots from an oscilloscope during a full-load run.


The protection afforded the Zeus is pretty much par for the course with Silverstone power supplies. The power supply itself sits in a bed of foam which mirrors the one on the top (not seen in the picture above) while the whole unit is wrapped in plastic to prevent it from scratches. The bundle of cables and the cable pouch provide additional lateral protection as well.


The accessories included with the Zeus 1200W are basic but there are a few great additions which will make your life easier. Not only do you get an anaconda-like 16AWG power cord but you also receive a handy pouch for your unused modular cables, a pair of black zip-ties, black mounting screws and a well-written instruction manual.
