You get ten 6-pin PCIe connectors, eight 6+2-pin PCIe connectors, thirteen SATA power connectors, a 4+4-pin EPS and a 24-pin ATX connector. The cables are also sufficiently long to accommodate mining systems with risers.

Spire lists an efficiency of "85 Plus Gold" and says the unit has a single +12V rail design. It's cooled by two 80mm fans, one on each end, and has a life expectancy of 100,000 hours. The units feature a 2-year warranty and have a MSRP of 199.95EUR ($219.99).

TechPowerUp reports Spire is currently only selling the model via B2B platforms like the Chinese Alibaba website, with minimum orders of 200-units.
