Driverheaven, Hardware Secrets, PureOverclock, Rbmods, and ThinkComputers have reviewed 750W to 1200W power supplies from BFG, Cooler Master, Rosewill, Thermaltake, and Topower.

Let's see what they had to say:

  • Driverheaven: Thermaltake Evo Blue 750W PSU Review:

    "Clearly we’d recommend the Evo Blue 750W to modders and enthusiasts who really care about the aesthetics of their system. The overall performance of the Evo Blue 750W unit is simply acceptable, which isn’t a very good thing to say about a product in this price range. It is a reliable product however which will not let you down and its unique appearance will certainly enhance the appearance of the interior."

  • Hardware Secrets: Cooler Master Silent Pro M 850 W PSU Review:

    "The new Cooler Master Silent Pro M 850 W is a good power supply, presenting a high efficiency up to 86.8% if you pull up to 80% from the labeled capacity (i.e. up to 680 W), voltages within specs and noise and ripple below the maximum allowed.

    The highlight of this product is the presence of six independent cables using six/eight-pin connectors for video cards, allowing you to install up to three very high-end video cards on your system without the need of using any kind of adaptor."

  • PureOverclock: Rosewill Xtreme 850W PSU Review:

    "The tradeoff here is that Rosewill has positioned the Xtreme 850W as a very affordable unit, and in that sense, it is one of the least expensive 850W units you will find. But just below at the 750W market segment, there are some compelling products if you don't need the extra 100W of power. Either way, the Rosewill Xtreme 850W may not be a standout unit in any particular category, but it is a good all-around power supply that offers a successful combination of features, functionality, quality, and aesthetics at a very good price. If you are on a very tight budget and are looking for a power supply with some higher horsepower at an affordable price, the Xtreme 850W is worth a good look."

  • Rbmods: Topower Tiger 1200W PSU Review:

    "Topower has built an excellent power supply in the Tiger 1200 Watt. It has an superier exterior finish, and the electrical performance is flawless. It is priced right at under $200. However, 1200 Watts is an extreme amount, and really only the highest end sytems could use this. On the other hand, this power supply will still power a low-end system."

  • ThinkComputers: BFG EX Series 1000W Modular PSU Review:

    "The BFG EX 1000W is certainly a model to consider when looking for a high end power supply unit for that next multi-video card gaming rig or high end server. Watch for undervolting rails with a program like Speedfan-I'd be interested to hear from readers who have used this unit to see if it's just our review unit or it's a trend with the series.

    The modular design and 80PLUS certification are big items in the win category for BFG, but, as always, the lifetime warranty is what is the greatest benefit of BFG products. It's ballsy, and I love it."
