I have also been considering adding warranty length information to the list, in the format shown below.

 

Example:

 

- HX 650W - Warranty: 7yrs - Modular - 80Plus Bronze - Review

 

Is that be something you would consider useful enough to add?

Awesome list, this is really helpful to people looking to buy a power supply for a new build or first time builders. Only thing I noticed that was missing is the Antec TruePower Quattro 1000W - I noticed you had the 850W in there though, so it doesn't matter all that much.

Very useful, I don't think I'd even entertain a power supply unless it had at least 3 years warranty, shows a certain amount of confidence in the unit from the manufacturers don't you think?

 

I don't like giving you extra work but it would be useful, at least I think so, if you could list the number of PCI-E connectors perhaps in the format (PCI-E 6 Pin x 2, PCI-E 6+2 Pin x 0)? Perhaps just start this on any new additions?

Ok, thanks guys. I did think that it would be a good thing to add.

I agree it shows a certain amount of confidence in a product from those supporting it.

 

I'll get around to adding it to all the units at some point soon hopefully.

Yes, that could be another useful piece of information to add.

The only thing I am slightly concerned about, is adding too much information so that it becomes harder to read.

 

Shortening it to PCI-E: 6-Pin x 2 / 6+2-Pin x 2 for example might work better (shortening it further may make it harder to understand?).

Added XFX Core Edition Pro 450W - review data here and here

Added XFX Core Edition Pro 550W - review data here and here

Added Corsair TX750 V2 - review data here

 

Note that the XFX units haven't been added to the 80Plus website yet, so remind me to check for them again at a later date (I'm assuming XFX has submitted them and they will be added).

Removed NorthQ Giant Connector 850W - Questionable availability, plus plenty of newer, better options now available.

Removed BFG Technology - All Models - BFG are no longer trading

Removed Hiper - All Models - Hiper are no longer trading

Removed OCZ Z Series 850W - EOL (End Of Life)

 

 

Apologies for the oversight on my part there guys, both these companies went bust without me hearing about it at the time.

 

I have also added warranty length information for a good deal of the units listed now.

Do you think reducing the length of that info to simply the number of years would still be understandable?

 

For example, instead of:

 

- X-850W - Warranty: 5yrs - Modular - Quiet - 80Plus Gold - Review

 

It would look like this:

 

- X-850W - 5yrs - Modular - Quiet - 80Plus Gold - Review
