Exterior of the GM-620SC:

The GM-620SC utilizes a dual fan (80mm/92mm) configuration, quite common for most power supplies. The fan speed adjusts anywhere from 0RPM (0dBA) to 2500RPM (30dBA) depending on temperature. Even at full speed these fans are very quiet, hence the label "Super Noise Killer" on the side of the box. The surface appears to be an anodized black / smoke color, with gold colors fan guards to give a nice accent. The blue LED glow doesn't come from the fans, instead there is a blue LED inside the power supply.

 

The "smart cable management" utilizes 5 plugs which are all universal (meaning you can connect any of the cables into any of the sockets). The primary 20/24pin BTX connector, 8pin/4pin aux +12V connector, and 4pin power connector for "Audio Stand-By" are permanently attached.

 

Skyhawk has taken a unique and very smart approach to the 20pin vs 24pin dilemma. Instead of having a primary 24pin connector on the power supply, and simply including a 24pin to 20pin adapter, the SkyHawk 24pin connector actually allows the extra 4pins to detach from the side. Simply slide the 4pin connector forward and it will detach from the rest of the 20pins.

The 4pin ATX +12V connector is accompanied with an 8pin EPS +12V along the same cables, it probably won't get in the way and it adds a few extra inches to the cable length.
