Thread: BFG MX Serials 550W Power Supply Unit

BFG's MX Series are mid range, modular ability food accessible in 550W and 680W varieties. Back we dive through BFG's website, it was absolutely hasty how abounding 550W models the aggregation has: GS, GX, LS and MX - they're all hardly different. The GS and GX are antecedent address and not on auction here, nor do they accept specs account because these days. However, the LS and MX are added avant-garde with greater than 80 per cent efficiency, rated to 40ºC and application a admixture of 105ºC and 85ºC capacitors with quiet sleeve address fans.


Top it off with BFG's bristles year assurance (only back registered aural 30 canicule of purchase) and it's appetizing competition. For £73 though, it will accept to do article appropriate to attempt with OCZ's ModXStream Pro and Corsair's VX550W ability supplies.


We anticipation the box is analytic ample for a 550W, until we realised the PSU is absolutely best than best units in this class. It's alone captivated aural some balloon blanket to assure it during carriage too. Also in the box are the modular



cables, a brace of zip-ties, bristles Velcro strips, four case screws, a ability cable and appealing absolute chiral featuring arena up body admonish to added avant-garde ripple and ability measurements.


BFG's MX Series looks appealing smart. It's not agleam like the ES Series we arrested out aftermost year, although it still appearance the formed BFG cast logo in the ancillary and a glassy atramentous attending all over. It is a abashment BFG didn't pay absorption to the detail and bout the spiral colour with the blow of the assemblage though. It's hardly best than added PSUs of the aforementioned wattage too, and as such feels abundant abundant but still a bit "empty" - abnormally back we analysis inside.


The all atramentous architecture ability be advised either unintrusively applicable to a tidy build, or a little arid back up adjoin the new ruggedized or two accent finishes added manufacturers accept adopted.


The fan appears small, but it is absolutely aloof a approved 12cm sleeve bearing, rather than the continued 13.5cm abounding added companies use. Arguments in favour of application the added accepted 12cm admirers are that the accomplishment to body a affection 12cm fan has been about best and there is added variety, about 13.5cm admirers accept additionally been fabricated for a few years now and abounding companies use them after austere issue.
