The XFX Pro Series 650W Power Supply is a well balanced product which combines great design with fantastic build quality. While we don't often comment on the packaging this box is sure to catch the eye of anyone shopping within a store.
On a technical level the supply delivers very effective ripple results while maintaining a high level of efficiency to exceed the 80 Plus Bronze certification it has achieved. Noise levels are reasonably good and the large fan manages to keep temperatures well within check, even when under the highest loads.
It is important to mention that the Pro Series power supplies from XFX have not been released to break any performance records. This particular range has a primary focus on value for money, while not making compromises in regards to the quality of the internal design – competently delivered by Seasonic.
Checking pricing online we can see that this particular unit is available for around £67 inc vat which puts it firmly into the highly recommended category. There is stiff competition in this sector from other manufacturers, but as a complete all round package with no weaknesses this easily earns the KitGuru stamp of approval.
KitGuru says: Fantastic value for money. Simples.
Cant really go wrong with a seasonic product. quality all the time.
Great price there. best looking PSU in this price range, without a doubt
Quite a lot of gunk internally there, isnt there? overall seems like a good bronze rated product. solid design, good ripple results.
under 70 quid for a good quality PSU, very good.
Gold certified is great, but for the mass market, its too much. a good basic plus is good enough for most people. bronze is better but still priced well. cant be bad to it.
price is the selling point. specs are decent. performance is solid. only issue I see is complete market saturation in this price point. everyone has at least 2 models in this price range. tough to get sales.
Thisis right up my alley, especially the price for such a quality unit. ordered one 🙂
More than enough for most people. I find it hard to believe that people would pay 250 quid for a pSU today.
Seasonic do it again 😉
The packaging is typical XFX, stands out a mile. people might laugh, but in a shop its the first thing you look at.
Its a good point Joe, but I wonder the percentage of sales in 2010 from stores. Online is surely where the heart of sales come from.
