Thermalright TR-SG850S 80+ Gold Power Supply

About Thermalright TR-SG850S

The Thermalright TR-SG850S is an $850\text{W}$ power supply unit (PSU) from the SG series, built for high-performance gaming rigs and power-hungry workstations that require stable, efficient, and ample power delivery.High Efficiency and Power Output Wattage: Provides a continuous output of $850\text{W}$, making it ideal for systems running flagship or high-end graphics cards and modern CPUs.Efficiency: It carries the 80 PLUS Gold certification, guaranteeing a minimum of $87\%$ efficiency at $20\%$ load, $90\%$ at $50\%$ load, and $87\%$ at $100\%$ load. This translates to less heat generation and lower operating costs.Modern Standards: The unit is designed with compliance for modern power standards, often featuring support for ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1. This capability is crucial as it allows the PSU to handle up to $200\%$ power excursions (transient spikes) from current-generation GPUs, ensuring system stability.Design and ReliabilityModularity: The "S" suffix on this model denotes a Non-Modular design, meaning the cables are permanently attached to the unit. This is a cost-effective choice but requires more planning for cable management. (The Thermalright SG-850, without the 'S', is the fully modular variant.)Internal Build: It utilizes robust internal topologies, typically including LLC Full Bridge and DC-to-DC conversion, for very tight voltage regulation and clean power output on the single $+12\text{V}$ rail.Components: For enhanced durability and stability, the unit often incorporates $105^\circ\text{C}$-rated Japanese electrolytic capacitors.Cooling and Protection: A quiet $120\text{mm}$ fan (often Hydraulic Bearing) with an optimized fan curve provides cooling. The PSU is safeguarded by a full suite of protections, including OPP, OVP, OTP, OCP, SCP, and UVP, backed by a typical 5-year warranty.Its compact $140\text{mm}$ depth ensures compatibility with most standard ATX cases.
