Choosing a power supply
When choosing a suitable PC power supply, the key parameter besides the format is power. This indicates the maximum number of Watts the power supply can continuously provide to the components in the computer. It is a good idea to use a web-based calculator to work out the optimal power based on your chosen components.
Performance and customisable look
The power supply operates with high efficiency, which limits energy waste and component heating. The 80 PLUS Platinum certification confirms that at 50% load, only 8% of energy is converted into heat. This leads to quieter operation, as the fan does not need to run at high speeds. A single strong +12V rail supplies stable voltage to key components like the processor and graphics card, supporting their performance even when overclocking. The AORUS ELITE P850W power supply offers an element for visually customising your build. It includes a magnetic plate with the AORUS logo, which can be attached to different sides of the power supply chassis. This lets the user choose the logo's orientation depending on how the power supply is positioned in the case. The neon print with a metallic sheen creates visual effects when viewed from different angles.
ATX 3.1 support and quiet cooling
The power supply is fully compliant with the Intel ATX 3.1 standard, ensuring it can handle sudden, high power spikes. It can briefly deliver up to three times the nominal power of the graphics card and twice the total system power. It includes a native 16-pin cable for PCIe Gen 5.1 graphics cards, which transfers up to 600W without needing any adaptors. Heat is dissipated by a 120mm fan with a fluid dynamic bearing (FDB), which uses an oil film to dampen vibrations, reducing noise and extending its lifespan compared to standard sleeve bearings. The fan stops completely when the system load is below 50%, making the power supply silent. The fan speed is automatically regulated according to the current power draw.
Modular design and reliability
Thanks to an optimised design and choice of materials, the length of the power supply has been reduced to 140mm. This compact size makes it easier to install even in smaller computer cases with limited space. The fully modular flat cabling system contributes to better organisation inside the build. The user only connects the necessary cables, which improves airflow and the overall look. The power supply's operation is monitored by a comprehensive set of protections, which shield the connected components from damage. These include over-voltage, over-power, short-circuit, under-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature protection. The internal components, including 100% Japanese capacitors, ensure long-term, stable operation even under high loads.

80 Plus certification in the European market
The 80 Plus certification was created to objectively assess the efficiency of computer power supplies. This gives users a simple and clear way to compare different models. On the European market (which uses a 230V mains voltage), there are six levels of 80 Plus certification with set requirements for computer power supplies. Higher energy efficiency primarily means lower energy consumption.
| PC power supply load | Efficiency at 20% load | Efficiency at 50% load | Efficiency at 100% load |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80 PLUS | 82% | 85% | 82% |
| 80 PLUS Bronze | 85% | 88% | 85% |
| 80 PLUS Silver | 87% | 90% | 87% |
| 80 PLUS Gold | 90% | 92% | 89% |
| 80 PLUS Platinum | 92% | 94% | 90% |
| 80 PLUS Titanium | 94% | 96% | 94% |
