 Installation

As with all PSUs, just 4 screws in the back of the case and you are ready for cable management.  Every cable that comes with the Hale82 is 55cm long.  This gives you plenty of slack so that you can route the cables any direction necessary.  With just a small push, the modular cables lock firmly into place and are ready to use.  

Now when I first started to run the cables, I was a little upset that the 8 (6+2) pin PCI Express cables were hardwired into the PSU; however, when I started running the cables, the design choice really started to grow on me.  Because they are so long, if you only have a single graphics card, you can hide these away with ease.  If you are running a SLI configuration, then you can attach the modular cables for the extra power you need.nzxt hale82 vulcan
