Conclusion

With the Prime Gold 850W, Seasonic released a high-end power supply. There is a costly AC filtering stage and the massive use of Japanese capacitors, which - amongst other parts - add up to a great product. Design wise, we really like the solid enclosure and the black paint.

This unit comes with active cooling and the fan installed looks pretty silent. The Prime Gold 850W is fully-modular and the bundle contains everything you could ask for. The cables are long enough for any ATX case and there is a bunch of accessories included in the delivery, which even helps with cable management. The bundle includes several cables but only few of them come with flat design. We would like to see all flat cables, and not a mixture of flat and sleeved cables.

At the moment the Prime Gold 850W is available on Geizhals for almost 150 Euro with a 12 year warranty plan, which is simply industry leading.

This high-end power supply is absolutely worthy of receiving 4 out of 5 stars. If you want to build a high-end setup or just a gaming PC, we suggest to check out the Seasonic Prime Gold 850W power supply.
