Page 2 - Closer look

Now let's take a look at the NOX Apex 700W box. It apparently bears lots of logos for all of the implemented technology, good pictures of the product and all of its specifications:

• 2 х 8 pin PCI-E cable: 650 mm. (fixed)
• 1 х 6 pin PCI-E cable: 500 mm.
• 1 х 6 pin PCI-E cable: 500 mm.
• Molex: 4 х 5.25”: 950 mm.
