    Excellent Power Supply

    This is an excellent power supply. Bought 2 of them when they were on a sale/clearance for $65. You can't beat a semi-modular 850w 80 Plus Bronze name brand power supply. Been very happy with them in my wife's and my systems. I am not pushing them extremely hard though with a Ryzen 1600x, RX580, and about 6 drives being powered. Even less in my wife's rig. Been chugging away happily with no hiccups for a year and a half now. Would highly recommend. Hopefully I won't have to replace them for another 5-8 years.

    Excellent PSU for the money. Worked for my 2U Rosewill rackmount case. Replaced a cheap Thermaltake 650 that was causing disk power problems. I even had to email EVGA to see if I could use a molex cable I had from a previous EVGA PSU and they confirmed compatibility for me. Great company, great hardware. I have EVGAs in my most important rigs. Can't go wrong with this one. Also - Whisper quiet, especially if you don't need all that wattage.

    This power supply is great, it offers 850W to your system enabling your computer all the power it needs to run as a high end gaming computer without the hassle of having to worry about excessive cabling. Evga is extremely reputable and delivers high quality gear.

    850w is a bit too much for my rig but at the time of purchasing this was the best deal/value for me. I got a Ryzen 3, GTX 1060, an AIO water cooler, ssd, hdd, 5 fans and some RGB light. So this PSU is way overkill for me but it works beautifully. it supplies more than enough power. Its SUPER quite. Building a near silent system was one of the goals for this build besides having enough power to run modern game at good FPS (not going for 4k. 1080p was the target resolution for this build) So this PSU fits in just right. My old 500w had a terrible coil whine and I got this one while trying to RMA my old one because it got so loud that I was concerned about the rest of the parts if it failed. I ended up getting a replacement but I didn't bother putting it in and kept this PSU in this build. Cable management turned out to be real easy for the most part due to semi modular design. Had to play around with the motherboard power cable a bit to get my side panel on in the back. But that was more on my case then the PSU so no complaints there. Overall It's great.It will provide more then enough power unless you're going for an over the top build. Cable management is a breeze, and it will run near silent. So I would recommend it any day.

    Powerful and Reliable

    I recently got the EVGA 850W Modular BQ Power Supply in black, and it's been a great addition to my Alienware R6. It's more powerful and can handle a lot of power needs, but it's also louder and costs more than some other options. Pros: 1. The power supply is really strong and can handle many power-hungry devices. 2. It's good for computers that need a lot of power, like gaming PCs or workstations. Cons: 1. One downside is that it's pretty loud, which can be annoying when trying to sleep with it on. 2. It's a bit more expensive than other power supplies, but it's worth it for the extra power. Even though it has a couple of cons, I think the EVGA 850W Modular BQ Power Supply is a great choice for anyone who needs a strong and reliable power supply. It gets 5 stars from me because of how well it works and how much power it can handle. Just keep in mind that it might be too loud for some people, especially if you need to sleep near your computer.

    Great EVGA power supply for mining

    850w modular. Rated Bronze, but has at least a 3 year warranty I think. Plenty good for me. I just wish the price would go back down. I bought a couple when they were $99. I bought one on sale for $80, but now they are like $119. So I bought an EVGA 750w Bronze last time, since it was only ~$75. I use these to power my Ethereum mining rigs and they work perfect. I also know there is a warranty if something happens, but so far so good!

    I needed an upgrade because i made a serious step up on a graphics card. Power use is stable, and this power supply is modular if you decide to customized with custom cables. 80 plus certified is good. Overall this is a great little powersupply for the price.

    I caught it on sale and as a open box unit for $52 and you really can’t beat that. it’s very quiet. I’ve had it for about a month and forgot that machine was running most of the time. I went so far as to check the voltage that was coming out of it with a voltmeter and it exceeded expectations across-the-board go by this and you’ll be a happy person for the rest of your life all the time

    Bought this Power Supply when it was on sale for 45$. Has more than enough power for most, if not all builds. If you are making a computer for normal use or moderate gaming, I would go with a power supply with less power. 650 should be enough. 45$ for 850W is a steal though! This power supply has worked great, is quiet, and has not given me any trouble.

    Bought this power supply several months ago and it has been working great from day 1. It's powering a vega 64, and Ryzen 7 1700x with ease. It is very quiet, heat has not been an issue and the cables it comes with are sturdy. Modular cables are great, should be standard these days. Had no trouble installing it, job took less than an hour.

    Solid PSU, and a welcome upgrade over my previous 600 watt Thermaltake PSU. I purchased a new video card for my 2nd desktop PC. Noticed the PSU would get loud, and card wasn't performing at the same level with the O.C as reviewers. Checked online abit, while my total power consumption was 505 watts from the wall. This was consuming over 80% of my previous PSU capabilities. Not sure if the PSU would throttle thus reducing overall performance. So I looked at 750 watts Gold, this would have given me almost 30% head room to work with. This unit came on sale for around the same cost as the 750 watt unit made more sense. 850 watt increasing my headroom to around 40%, so when I upgrade, newer cards shouldn't pose much of a problem. Overall, happy with O.C stability, and performance, 5 out of 5!

    Great replacement, but short cables.

    I purchased this as a replacement for an 3 year old Antec High Current Gamer, that died within 5 years, (Never trust Antec again). Modular cables were great as I only had to use 2 SATA cables and two Molex Cables. The three main cables were 24 pin Motherboard, 8 pin CPU (which could have been longer to be to route thur the back of the case, but had to route it over the GPU) and a 8pin/6pin GPU. Great PSU to run a i5, 970GTX, and 3-3.5 drives/2-2.5 drives.
