Kit Guru have reviewed the high performance Seasonic X 850 power supply, which has a fully modular design and 80Plus Gold certification.

Let's see what they had to say:

"The Seasonic X-Series 850W power supply is just as impressive as the 1250W model which we reviewed a couple of weeks ago. That said, an 850W Power supply makes a lot more sense for a much wider audience, especially as this unit can handle an extended load of 1,000 watts. Not often have we tested an 850W power supply that can sustain a 1,000W load.

Aesthetically we like the appearance of the X-Series 850W. The black paint is deep and difficult to scratch, although it does attract finger prints fairly easily.

Technically there are no weaknesses with this design. It delivers high levels of efficiency while maintaining strong noise suppression. The +12V output peaks at 30mV under full load and +3.3V/+5V peak at 15 mV under the same conditions.

The modular design is excellent and Seasonic supply a plethora of high grade sleeved cables which are long enough to be compatible with a tower design chassis."


This another in a long line of excellent power supplies from Seasonic. Check it out!
