CONCLUSION

   The CX850M 2017 Edition (V2) may already count 3+ years in the market but it’s still a quality PSU that offers very good rail performance (even tighter compared to many newer PSU models by numerous manufacturers), 850W output (1KW peak), 80 Plus Bronze electrical efficiency (yes here things could be better), an array of electrical protections, mostly Japanese made capacitors and a 5-year limited warranty. The 120mm fan by Yate Loon did become quite noisy during our tests and especially when the test rig reached its peak consumption but that specific fan model is known to do exactly that.

   Now the really good news is that after so long in the market the remaining stock of the CX850M 2017 Edition (V2) can be found for as low as USD44.48 inside the USA (Newegg.com) and for around 70Euros inside the EU. So, if 850W is more than enough to power your system and the 80 Plus Bronze certification along with the semi-modular design are not deal breakers for you then looking for one of the remaining CX850M 2017 Edition power supply units should be your priority.
