In exactly the same fashion as the 650W model, the fan is not attached to the outer sleeve, it has its own mounting tray.
The Power supply is cooled by a 135x135x135 mm fan (Adda ADN512UB-A90). The impeller is a nice design, nine wide blades with small gaps between.
The XFX power supply is manufactured by Seasonic and it is a very clean internal design. This is a DC to DC Converter Design to provide enhanced Dynamic response while ensuring system stability and maximum 12VDC rail output.
There are several rows of heatsinks, seperating the components and ensuring adequate airflow from the large fan directly above. The XFX PSU is supplied with automatic output protection to ensure no damage occurs. This includes Total Power Protection (OPP), Over Voltage Protection (OVP), Over Current Protection (OCP), Short Circuit Protection (SCP) and Over Temperature Protection (OTP).
XFX are using high quality Japanese brand capacitors rated to withstand up to 105c. These are conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitors to help improve operational stability under continued load conditions.
The cables are sleeved well into the chassis, which helps to ensure no long term damage by fraying. The cabling is well routed and organised with ties.
Another good product in this range. the prices are wicked. half the price of gold rated products.
I agree, while they aren’t performance leaders, the combination of build, efficiency, low ripple and price point achievement is a heady result.
under 90 quid, thats a winner. no weaknesses either.
They look great too. gotta say though, the powercolor supplies look better. I like the bright sports like fans.
When you work with seasonic, it is hard to go wrong. these must be some of the best low cost power supplies on the market today.
Seasonic are great, nice to see them working with enthusiast based XFX. they have ‘wrapped’ these up well.
Im going to wait on the 850W review to make sure there are weaknesses. think its the best future proof option when I upgrade to my new 6850 😉 (or two later)
Only thing thats stopping me buying one of these is the fact it isnt modular. I hate having a pile of cables inside I dont need. especially after buying a nice modded case with window and uv lighting.
These are such good value for money. Bronze certification is more than enough for most people.
They look good and the design is solid. I just cant buy non modular anymore, so much mess inside a case. hate them.
These are great low cost models. Reasonably priced with good efficency and internal design from seasonic.
Great product and for once doesn’t cost a fortune
Excellent performance and I like the looks. Can’t see th need for much more unless you need high end sli or cf
Seasonic make great designs, and this is well priced from XFX. Deserves to sell well
