NZXT C850 ATX 3.1 PSU (White) Review

Rating: 9.0.

Check out the C1000 Gold review HERE.

It has been some time since we took an in-depth look at an NZXT branded power supply and today we look at an 850 Watt unit in their new Gold-certified range. NZXT are well known for selling white components so it made sense for them to update this range of power supplies. These units are fully modular, ATX 3.1 compatible and they ship with high grade Japanese capacitors. NZXT are backing them with a 10 year warranty.

NZXT told us that availability of these white versions is slated for the end of September, and there are three units up for sale in both black and white colours. A pricing update on all these is below for reference.

It is interesting to see that the white version has the same price as the black version in the UK, but the USA price is $5 more expensive. These figures below were sent directly from NZXT – we can't check white PSU prices as the units are not yet available.

C1200 Gold: $199.99/£184.99
C1000 Gold: $179.99/£169.99
