NZXT Hale90 850W

Zitat: The NZXT HALE90 850W power supply is very solid. It holds up to all of their claims and performs perfectly within specifications. The variety of protections that it offer help protect your computer and the Active PFC makes the PSU very efficient which should help your pocket recoup some of the cost over time. The single rail design makes it simple to install, even for those with higher end systems as you don’t have to concern yourself with load distribution. High quality Japanese capacitors are utilized to ensure that the power supply will survive throughout the years and NZXT backs it with a 5 year warranty. NZXT has packaged all of this in a beautiful black and white design that is simple yet sophisticated and will look good and stay quiet in just about any rig you throw it in. My only complaint about the HALE90 850W is the price. At $179.99 MSRP, it is a tad on the high side. But with that said, the initial cost of the PSU should be offset by the reduction in energy consumption, especially if you utilize your machine at moderate to high loads frequently.

Zitat: The new NZXT HALE90-850-M comes to compete directly with the OCZ Z Series 850 W: both are 80 Plus Gold models, have a modular cabling system, and a single +12 V rail. The HALE90-850-M has as big advantage its price, currently being USD 15 cheaper than this model from OCZ (USD 180 vs. USD 195). In our tests both presented comparable performance in all the main aspects we analyze (efficiency, voltage regulation, and electrical noise). As for the cable configuration, the NZXT HALE90-850-M comes with two additional video card power connectors, allowing you to install up to three high-end video cards at the same time without using adapters, and more peripheral power connectors (nine vs. three). But the OCZ Z Series 850 W comes with a total of 12 SATA power connectors, against 10 on the HALE90-850-M. Therefore, the NZXT HALE90-850-M shows up as a serious contender to the OCZ Z Series 850 W: you will get comparable performance and more power connectors at a lower price. Sweet. If you are looking for a high-efficiency 850 W power supply for your high-end PC, you will be very pleased with the new NZXT HALE90-850-M.
