Conclusion

As you can see from the review, this is a fantastic power supply and will be perfect for anyone with an extreme gaming rig, especially if you have a Core i7 processor and a multiple graphics card setup. I have always tried to tell people to buy a reliable power supply and not to skimp on it. The main things when buying a power supply to look for is buying one from a trust brand such as OCZ, Corsair and BFG to name a few, you also want to find a power supply that has enough wattage to power the rest of your system. Thankfully, this power supply is a 1200 watt power supply, so will be more than enough for all systems. You will also want to find a power supply with a good efficiency rating, this power supply features an 80 plus efficiency rating. Price wise, this power supply is around the price that someone would pay for one of this calibre, and the only downside i can really see is that BFG advertise this with a silent fan, but it is far from silent, in comparison with other PSU’s I’ve used in the past. That’s why I’m giving this power supply 4 out of 5 stars.
