There are some things I find surprising for a 900W PSU - It only has an 80Plus Bronze certification. Gold certification gives 5-7% increase in efficiency. - There are 4 PCIe connectors in a 2 6+2-pin & 2 6-pin configuration. I would have expected at least 4 6+2-pin connectors.

Rosewill PHOTON Series PHOTON-850 850W Continuous @40°C,80 PLUS Gold Certified, Full Modular Design, Single +12V Rail,ATX12V ... I have gone over exclusively to the Rosewill Gold's (at the 450 watt level), after having bought only Seasonic for several years. Both are very efficient, but the Rosewills are a better buy these days. I now have four of them, with the oldest being almost two years old, with no problems. |
