Default BFG Tech 800 Watt Power Supply Review


If you have never heard of BFG technologies, you have probably been living under a rock (which is good, we all need to get outdoors more often). BFG is a privately held US based company best known for their NVIDIA and Ageia based graphics cards. As one might expect, they are a gamer focused company (their slogan is “The Gamer’s Choice!”). Graphic cards are not their only product however, and BFG carries a product line ranging from mousepads to motherboards, and in a place in between, they also carry power supplies.

Today we get a chance to check out one of BFG’s PSUs in the form of an 800 watt unit. BFG technologies touts its 800 watt power supply as perfect for a “…gamer running dual PCI Express graphics cards, or a PC enthusiast building a killer system with tons of power-hungry components." They back that with a lifetime 24/7 warranty. Among the features of the BFG 800 watt PSU are quad 12V rails and “Silent Control Technology” for quiet operation. Does this 800 watt monster represent? Let’s find out!

Yeah. I like modular too. But Ultra has the patent on the whole modular interface idea and I'm just waiting for them to pounce out of the wings and start suing people. :(

It happens, Topower did it with the whole 20+4 connector, they sued Asus and now everyone pays them $1 per unit to use the idea. :(

BFG just informed us that they are offering free PCI-E extenders for the short PCI-E cables.
