Choosing a power supply
When selecting a suitable PC power supply, the key parameter, besides the format, is its power output. This indicates the maximum number of watts the power supply can continuously deliver to the computer's components. It is a good idea to use a web-based calculator to work out the optimal power requirement based on your chosen components.
Ready for ATX 3.0 and PCIe 5.0
This 850W power supply fully supports the ATX 3.0 specification, which enables it to handle the high transient power spikes of modern graphics cards. It includes a 90° 12V-2x6 connector that powers PCIe 5.0 standard components. This connector has higher electrical durability, and its design with lower operating temperatures contributes to safer operation. The right-angle design also reduces mechanical stress on the cable. The fully modular cabling system minimises excess wires and improves the overall thermal performance of the build.
Efficiency and quiet operation of the Cooler Master GX II Gold 850
The 80 PLUS Gold certification confirms an efficiency exceeding 90% under normal load, reducing the amount of waste heat. Active cooling is handled by a fan with intelligent thermal speed control. Under low loads, the fan remains completely off due to the Zero-RPM mode, keeping noise levels low during light tasks. The fan only activates once a set temperature threshold is exceeded. The internal design uses Japanese capacitors, which reduce current ripple and promote the long-term reliability of components.

80 Plus certification on the European market
The 80 Plus certification was created to objectively assess the efficiency of computer power supplies. This gives users a simple and clear way to compare different models. On the European market (where a 230V voltage is used), there are six levels of 80 Plus certification with set requirements for computer power supplies. Higher energy efficiency primarily means lower energy consumption.
| PC power supply load | Efficiency at 20% load | Efficiency at 50% load | Efficiency at 100% load |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80 PLUS | 82% | 85% | 82% |
| 80 PLUS Bronze | 85% | 88% | 85% |
| 80 PLUS Silver | 87% | 90% | 87% |
| 80 PLUS Gold | 90% | 92% | 89% |
| 80 PLUS Platinum | 92% | 94% | 90% |
| 80 PLUS Titanium | 94% | 96% | 94% |
