In response to the increasing popularity of compact and portable gaming PCs
in the past couple of years, we've seen several PC peripheral manufacturers
release larger collections of SFX form factor cases and power supplies. Chief
among these has been Cooler Master, where the prolific PC part vendor
recently expanded their SFX series to include ATX 3.0-compliant PSUs. This
has finally given the company a modern, miniature platform that can drive the
latest NVIDIA video cards.

Today we're looking at Cooler Master's V850 SFX Gold, which represents a more
budget-friendly option in the SFX power supply market compared to their
previously reviewed V1100 SFX Platinum. The SFX Gold series includes four
models, ranging from 550W to 850W, with the 850W unit that we are reviewing
today being the most potent. This 850-Watt power supply carries an 80 Plus
Gold certification and is designed for high-performance gaming and
workstation builds. As the top-tier model in the SFX Gold series, it offers
substantial power output for an SFX unit and maintains ATX 3.0 compliance,
including a 12VHPWR connector in a compact SFX format.
