PowerColor Extreme 850 W Power Supply Review
Conclusions
Contents
The new PowerColor Extreme 850 W isn’t a bad power supply, but it has a few flaws. It should have come with at least eight SATA connectors instead of only six, six video card connectors instead of four, it should be able to achieve better efficiency at full load under real-world temperatures, and its noise and ripple levels, although below the maximum allowed, were too high for us to consider this unit as a “flawless” product.
Its success will depend on the price it will reach the market. We think the correct price for this power supply is anything up to USD 130. If it arrives on the market costing more than that, forget it, as you can buy far better 850 W units, like the XFX 850 W Black Edition (USD 150).
