Antec Signature Series 850 Power Supply (@[H] Enthusiast)

The Bottom Line


The concept of a Signature product is certainly one which we have seen time and again in the enthusiast realm and often these products do represent the pinnacle of what a company offers but to many peoples’ chagrin these products move into a realm of what they consider to be diminishing returns relative to their price. As such the list price of $299.99 + Free Shipping for the Antec Signature 850 may seem steep to many price conscious users looking for a bargain over a premier product. At this price point the Signature's only real competition is another flagship product ,the PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 860 ($199.99 after MIR to $329.99). Given the price and the output similarities the
Signature will undoubtedly draw comparisons with the Turbo-Cool 860 and from our results today it seems that the Signature does everything the Turbo-Cool does, does it better, and does it quieter.

Our test results are highlighted by the excellent build quality, the excellent efficiency, excellent voltage regulation, and incredible DC output quality which outpaces all the other products we have reviewed in this output range. So as a premier product in the 800w-900w range right now, the Antec Signature 850 is THE product to be beat. However, users who can get by with slightly less than the best or are more price conscious will still find a great value in Antec's True Power Quattro 850w which can be had for $139.99. If you are a PSU snob, the Antec Signature 850 is likely for you though. Only the best power for your CPU and GPU, right?
