XFX To Introduce Power Supply Line Soon - 850W Black Edition

[Apoptosis]

XFX, one of the world's largest video card manufacturers, is getting ready to announce their very first power supply line at Computex Taipei 2009 next month. Details have emerged on the XFX 850W Black Edition power supply, which features one single +12V rail with a massive 70Amp/840W rating. The power supply is modular as you can see in the image below and is 80 plus silver certified, since it is 88% efficient. No word on pricing yet, but it looks like the power supply market just got a little more crowded.

It is a pretty cool looking PSU but I'm not familiar with XFX. What are they primarially known for?

[XstollieX]

That's pretty sharp lookin. I wonder how it will perform?

Very nice looking indeed. Should be interesting to see how these gems perform.

It's a bit, erm, in your face stylings for my liking.

For some reason, I have a feeling that they're based on the upcoming Corsair HX850.

[Cannyone]

If they can build a unit that is truly worthy of the "80 Plus Silver Certified" claim. And sell it for a reasonable price. Then I would be interested. Still I'll probably spring for an Enermax Revolution 1050W, since I'm certain that is a "high efficiency" unit.

[Skippman]

Not crazy about the color. If it were red or blue maybe, but Sprite Yellow/Green? Nah

[vicaphit]

Looks crazy. Too bad you don't really see the PSU in a computer much.

I like it , can't what to see how it performs. Is LR in a good chance of reviewing one??

[Digerati]

I'm really digging the design - any reviews for it yet?

[DL13]
