Antec Signature 850W Power Supply Review

“Performance (40% of the final score) - I've gotta be honest here, I've been racking my poor brain ever since this thing came off the load tester to decide how to score it. On one hand, I've had a couple units regulate ever so slightly better. On one hand, I've had them quieter. On one hand, I've... well, no I haven't had better ripple suppression. Or overall efficiency.

But on the other hand, each of the units that were able to best the SG-850 marginally in one area were absolutely trounced by it in others. After a lengthy decision making process, I've at last settled on a score. This decision was not made lightly, because it is conceivable something else will come along that can take the crown away from this bad boy. But for now, the Antec SG-850 is the first and only unit to pull down a 10 in performance from me.”
