Product Description

No longer does upgrading a power supply mean having to break the bank, nor does a limited budget require you to have to `settle¿ for a second rate unit. Upgrade to a whole new level with a BFG GS Series power supply. The BFG GS Series feature a typical efficiency of up to 85%, so more power is converted to DC than many other power supplies on the market. BFG Thermal Control Technology ensures that the unit runs as quietly as possible by varying the speed of the fan in response to load and temperature. Dual +12V rails, over-volt, over-current and short circuit protection provide rock solid reliability and safety.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not able to provide rated power, July 6, 2010

This is a re-labeled Huntkey 550W power supply. This PSU has been tested by numerous websites and it seems that they explode when max wattage is drawn. Mine failed when my PC was upgraded to a 470GTX and it started drawing close to 550. I was lucky to get it out of my build before it did too much damage. Pretty sure it messed up one of my DIMM slots too. Get another brand. BFG doesn't manufacture PSU's, they buy crappy ones from China, and put their sticker on it.
