Delivery and Specifications

The SRM-850 is a partially modular PSU.

Cables
Cable	Length
1 x ATX 20+4 pin	53 cm
1 x EPS/ATX 12V (4+4) pin	58 cm
2 x PCI-E 6+2 pin	60 cm
3 x 4x SATA	45, 60, 75, 90 cm
2 x 4x Molex	45, 60, 75, 90 cm
1 x Floppy	15 cm

Considering the advertised wattage, it's not possible to attach too many devices to the SRM-850. There are for example two PCI-Express 6+2 pin connector cables and you get two connectors with each cable. Apart from that there are two cables to attach a total of eight SATA drives and there are another two cables to connect up to eight devices with molex connectors.

Specifications

+ 3.3 V	25 A	130 Watt	850 Watt (Total)
+ 5.0 V	30 A	130 Watt
+ 12 V	70 A	840 Watt
- 12 V	0.8 A	9.6 Watt
+ 5 Vsb	3 A	15 Watt

The Nilox SRM-850W is an 850W PSU, which is based on a single +12V rail design. As you can see from the specification table, it offers up to 70Amps on its +12V rail.

The SRM-850 has been 80Plus Bronze certified, which means that this PSU is able to reach a maximum efficiency of 82 percent at 20% load, 85% at 50% load and 82% at 100% load. Furthermore this PSU complies with ErP guidelines (Energy Rated Product) and therefore it consumes less than 1 Watt when an attached system is powered off or in standby.

As you can see from the list below, the rest of the features include standard protections and a 5-year warranty which is pretty much what you get with a mid-range class PSU.
