Ever see a piece of hardware that makes you drool? The newest DX11 Radeon cards? The upcoming i9? The 12-core Opteron? Yeah, all spectacular ... and you're going to need a PSU to run it all! Price aside, this has to be one of the most desirable pieces of hardware I've ever wanted.

Also, I think SpykeZ will like this; the PSU has been rated and tested at load *and* temperature too, offering 850 watts of pure power at 50c, with over 88% efficiency. Some might dislike the single +12v rail, but when you see that it pumps out over 70a ... you might change your mind Very Happy

Yeah, this is sexy.

And, of course, some fun! ^_^

ill never buy a modular psu, causes a resistance between the PSU and the component, and one more chance of a failed connector from plugging them in and out.

Modular PSU = awesome.
Single rail = Laughing
88% efficiency = Laughing
XFX PSU = Laughing

Hot chick is hot.

Edit: Perhaps I should explain before someone calls me a troll. Singe 12v rail is very cheap and very easy to make and is a very lazy design. Good multi-rail PSUs will provide protection and filtering between the rails; if one of your drives does bullshit, it won't make a power spike that will damage your CPU and/or GPU and/or motherboard. Also the 88% efficiency is pretty low for a single rail PSU - there is higher even for multi-rail PSUs.

I wouldn't buy it anyway, not at that price. For that price I could get myself a Corsair HX850 Laughing I just love how it looks and how it's rated, great looking PSU ^_^

Isn't it pretty inefficient to run with 70 A?

It doesn't put out 70a at all times, no matter the devices, silly Very Happy It just means that that one rail *can* push 70a as and when it's needed ... which is a far cry from my current Corsair VX450 which only pushes 38a Wink

tbh I dont know anything about how computer hardware work. But to my knowledge the higher the amps the higher the energy loss to heat. So even if it is not under load all the time, heat would still be a problem when its under load.
