CONCLUSION
Since pretty much every single unit manufactured by Enermax/LEPA that has ever reached our test bench in our lab has turned out to be from very good to excellent in terms of performance/quality and also because we've never encountered anything wrong with them i didn't really expect for the B800-MAS to produce anything less than solid results and i was right on the spot. Of course i would had liked to see a more tight result with the 12v rail but even so the overall results were quite good for an 80 Plus Bronze certified PSU of its target audience and price. On top of that also add both the extremely low noise levels emanating from the 140mm fan and the flat modular cables and you got yourself a very good all-around performer.
With a current price tag set at around USD110 inside the USA and 90Euros inside the EU the B800-MAS 800W by LEPA is amongst the most cost effective 80 Plus Bronze certified units in the market at the same power output. Of course the price gap between the B800-MAS and similar 80 Plus Bronze units is not that great but it is there and coupled with the unit’s performance which is quite good, the flat modular power cables which should help a lot with cable management and the almost inaudible 140mm fan this mid-level PSU comes highly recommended by us. Rail stability however (12v) could be better and because of that the B800-MAS receives our Golden Award.
