It's been a few years since the angry ape first made its debut on OC3D, now it's finally back for some second helpings.

Not everyday that you see a company underrate it's product for so much. Still, £100 for a bronze rated 850watt would seem a little much to me. £100 for a gold rated 850 watt...that's a bargain and a half.

£100 for gold? Id be worried mate not happy.

£100 for gold? Id be worried mate not happy.

Be worried that your Bronze rated PSU was over-performing when it came to efficiency?

I used to buy Silverpower alot when the majority of systems only needed 400-500w. Very underated company imo, and not one to blow their own trumpet. Decent pricing verging on budget.

... gorilla ... what were they thinking ??

Wow, what an absolute bargain!

Nice review.............an exceptional buy !

I was just going to comment on price, with something to the effect of "Corsair are about the same price and I've been buying their 750w+ for a while now..." Until I went to the Scan website. The Corsair Enthusiast is about the same price - but when the fudge was the AX850 £145+ ??? I never paid £145!

Really fantastic performer and for that price it is an amazing deal. It should really be labelled as a Silver rated PSU given how efficient it is !!!

 

[Excalabur50]

Its a suprising performer in sheeps clothing and the Gorilla is a Silverback thats why they used it to fit in with their name

I've had a SP500 500W and use with a C2Q8200 oc-ed and 2xAsus HD4850 in crossfire both oc-ed and had no problems what so ever. So those things are more than capable.

How is the noise for the PSU at 50%-ish load? Going for a 650W myself in the same series, SP-S650M.
