Stable power supply for most systems
The trend toward low-power and low-heat components seems to have reversed, with many high-end CPUs and GPUs requiring high power to run at full speed. Still, the number of systems that truly require a 1000W PSU is still limited, so it’s nice to see various companies focusing on PSUs with more reasonable wattages. The Haiyun VERTEX GX-850 is one such PSU, with 850W of modular power and including a 12VHPWR connector for newer NVIDIA GPUs.
FPS Review recently reviewed a 1600W model that was quite impressive, so the VERTEX GX-850 has a high bar set, especially since this is the first VERTEX series they’ve reviewed. This power supply is independently designed by Haiyun, with a very simple layout and high-quality components inside. Once they reassembled it and strapped it to the torture table, the PSU proved its worth and passed all tests with flying colors. In fact, the efficiency is even higher than the 80 PLUS Gold rating advertised on the box.
For those of you shopping for a PSU, here’s the full review.
