Packaging

The packaging names the features of the unit thoroughly. It is sealed in a plastic wrap which can instantly alarm the potential buyer if the box was opened.

The most distinctive feature of the 4775-500S is certainly the 140mm cooling fan. While the majority of power supply units are cooled by 80mm and 120mm fans, which are common for computer systems, NorthQ chose a 140mm crystal clear fan for their product. The massive fan covers the entire bottom part of the unit and should help the unit to maintain lower noise levels, as it can move more air at low speeds. The whole unit has a titanium-like finish, which is slightly reflective as well. A simple on/off switch is present at the rear of the unit, while the rest is covered by a honeycomb holes pattern. No voltage switch, the unit is pre-set to 230V input only. At the side of the unit, there is the sticker with thorough power specifications and the earned approvals of the unit.

Cables and interior

The 4775-500S is not a modular power supply unit, but at least the cables are sleeved. All of them are also considerably long, so there should not be any problems with large cases. Besides the standard 24-pin ATX cable and the 12V power cable, there are two cables which carry three 4-pin Molex connectors and a floppy connector each, two cables which carry two SATA connectors each and a single cable with two 6-pin PCI-E power connectors.

Internals

The massive 140mm crystal clear fan is made by Yate Loon. The internals of the unit are similar to the 4775-400 which we reviewed a while back, but not the identical. There are larger heatsinks, which in combination with the 140mm fan will be more than enough to keep the unit cool under stress.
