XFX to Enter Power Supply Market with 850 W Black Edition
Manufacturers branching out in to different segments seems to be the in thing to do at the moment and XFX is no exception as leaked slides on the forums of Legit Reviews, reveal that XFX are getting ready to announce their first power supply line at Computex Taipei 2009 next month. The first of which has been dubbed the 850 W Black Edition (XPS-850W-BES), which follows suit of many of their Black Edition graphics cards. It is a modular PSU featuring 88% effeciency and sports a 70A single 12v rail capped at 840 W. It would seem XFX are taking this seriously as the combined output across all of the wattage caps is in excess of 1,000 W. According to the slides the PSU features 105°C Japanese brand capacitors, +/-3% voltage regulation, solid polymer caps, and a 135mm ball bearing fan. Using a combination of fixed and removable cables the XFX 850 W Black Edition has 4 PCI-E 6+2 Pin connectors, 11 SATA connectors and 8 Molex connectors.

Anyone else have the corsair 850w? On the inside mine is covered almost halfway by a piece of plastic right under the fan. I haven no idea why it's there.
Lol doubt it.
Still love my OCZ tho.:)
If someone buys one, post the UL number please.

And when you search "E104405" in the UL database it comes up with Seasonic as the manufacturer, so it sounds like XFX are ready to contend with Corsair and these should be some very nice PSUs
