Review on ๐Ÿ’ก EVGA 850 Bq Power Supply: 80+ Bronze, Semi Modular, 5-Year Warranty, Free Power On Self Tester - 110-BQ-0850-V1 by Chris Lemm

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Decent power supply with partial modularity and steal on sale!

Bought this for $50 on Black Friday, couldn't be happier, a bit nervous about the rating as my rating was below platinum but got an extra 250w headroom for future upgrades. . And I wasn't even close to meeting Max. I'm only running 3770k at 3.7MHz with a Cryorig A40 AIO, 1070ti at 2025MHz, 7 fans, 4 SSDs and a HDD and the highest output I've seen testing is around 525W. It's just partly modular, but since the cables go to the motherboard/CPU and graphics card that you'll be using anyway, I don't see that as a problem, I even think it's a plus in my opinion, not that it happens often, but I do am sure connections can become loose over time and I don't want my processor to lose connection due to a shock or something. This is of course a small chance. After 3 months everything is fine, the power supply is quiet, the voltage is stable and I am still happy with my purchase.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
