Today we have the pleasure of checking out one of XFX's newest power supplies: The Pro 850W. The Pro 850W is one of three new "Core Edition" power supplies from XFX. They lack the frills and modularity of XFX's other PSU efforts, but come in at an astonishingly low price.The box has an interesting effect, to say the least. It's a little hard to read at certain angles. What XFX was trying to do here is make the box look like the rear grill of the PSU. There is a flat colored deboss and a glossy emboss all over the entire box. The larger, yellow font is easy to read, but the smaller white font is hard to read unless you're in certain lighting or looking at it at a particular angle. Thing is, there is SO MUCH text on the box that they had to use a smaller font to fit it on.The half flat, half glossy finish of the box also makes the box difficult to photograph because the gloss reflects light while the flat absorbs it, so please forgive the quality of the photos. The following seven photos are close ups of the box showing all of the marketing bullet points. I'll reiterate what each picture says so you don't have to strain your eyes trying to read the text in the photos.I'm going to go ahead and throw a spoiler out there so the following makes better sense to those of you who don't frequent our forums on a daily basis where we talk about topologies and the manufacturers behind certain brands on a daily basis. The XFX Pro 850W is based off of the Seasonic SS-850HT, which is essentially a 840W +12V switch mode power supply that uses DC to DC VRM's to regulate +3.3V and +5V. Of course, the unit provides a secondary power supply that provides +5VSB as long as the unit is plugged in and switched "on", regardless of whether or not the PC is actually on or not. Of course, the -12V is rectified using a simple diode to reverse polarity of the +12V. We'll discuss the internals of the PSU more later, I just wanted to get this out of the way now to make explaining the marketing bullet points on the box easier.First, I want to go over some of the unsubstantiated marketing found on the box. Then, as to not leave a bad taste in my mouth or yours, I will go over the marketing that tells us that we may actually have a decent power supply on our hands.
