Feed your power-hungry components without breaking the bank. Today's PCs require more power to support multiple hard drives, processors and high-end graphics cards. BFG Tech answers that call with their new line of Power Supplies with built-in cooling units.
The ES Series ES-800 features frequency conversion technology to help maximize efficiency across a broad range of loads and delivers up to 800W of continuous DC power. The ES-800 power supply includes four PCI-E connectors to support the latest high end graphic cards and is SLi certified for NVIDIA's 9800 GX2.
These units deliver higher efficiency with integrated protection circuitry for a more stable and reliable source of power. The cooling fan varies speed according to load to run as efficiently and quietly as possible. Easy installation and a full range of connectors makes this a sure hit with gamers and computer enthusiasts alike.
ATX12V and EPS12V CompatibleCompatible with the ATX12V (ATX 2.2) and EPS12V v2.91 standards, the BFG Tech ES-800 provides maximum power stability to drive the latest Intel and AMD processors as well as other components for desktop and server computer systems.
800W Continuous PowerThe BFG Tech ES-800 power supply provides a continuous power of 800W for a safe, reliable output for high-end computer systems.
80 Plus CertifiedThe 80 PLUS certified power supply provides high power efficiency of at least 80% at any load between 20% and 100%, saving your money on your electrical bill, reducing heat in your computer's system and prolonging its life.
138mm Cooling Fan with BFG Thermal Control TechnologyThe large 138mm intake fan increases overall airflow in the power supply to ensure operation stability. With BFG thermal control technology, the fan slows down during regular operation to reduce unnecessary noise.
8-pin PCI Express ConnectorsFeaturing two 8-pin (6+2-pin) PCI Express power connectors, the BFG Tech ES-800 is capable of feeding power-hungry high-end graphics cards.
NVIDIA SLI CertifiedThe BFG Tech ES-800 power supply has gone through a series of rigorous NVIDIA SLI certification tests for maximum system stability when building NVIDIA SLI PCs.

One of the best PSUs out there9/17/2008 1:12:02 AM
Pros: I suggest you read the Guru of 3D review by Hilbert Hagedoorn on this, as that's where I first heard about it; in mouth watering detail. "Probably this is one of the best power supplies we ever tested"
Heavy. 8pin. 86% efficiency. Quiet. Stable. Cables are long enough for my mid tower. This thing is perfect. Powers a single EVGA GeForce GTX 260 F.T.W. Edition fine, and I'm thinking about SLI.
Cons: I plugged in my gtx260 on a single cord (6pin, 6+2pin connectors) and it ran fine for a while. Then after turning the machine off it wouldn't POST when I turned it back on. So I'd mess with the connections on the card, making sure they were snug and then try to power it on, and it'd work. After about the third time this happened, I decided to just use the two cords, with a single connector from each cord instead. I guess what was happening was the single cord would bend outward causing it to get loose after a while.

Pros: Small overall for its' output capabilities. Looks great, and has enough juice for dual x2's. VERY quiet, even when loaded.
Cons: Um, it isn't modular (and was never advertised as such). The EPS cable was a bit short, but I'm using a non-standard case.
Overall Review: I look forward to other products in this line.
Pros: This power supply works great and powers everything in my computer great! The silver mirror finish is also very nice...its more like a smoked graphite mirror finish. It seems pretty darn quiet too.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I will just have to put it to the true test and see if it can power 2 9800GTX's once I sli. It says its ready...
Pros: Upgraded PSU with first core i7 system and this unit has delivered as promised.
Cons: None
Overall Review: This provides all my power needs for X58 system with 4 HDD's, high-end GPU (haven't tried SLI yet), and multiple burners, etc. I always use an APC UPS as a power conditioner - prolongs the life of any system IMO.
Cons: Horrible quality psu. It started flaking out after about 6 months and got to the point where my rig was locking up constantly. I also suspect the amps are overstated, at least on the 12v rail. My seasonic 600w 12v rails were much more stable and closer to spec.
Overall Review: My RMA experience with BFG has been a nightmare. Just getting in touch with somebody to get an RMA number was hard enough, but the replacement I received was a slap in the face. The finish was trashed, the unit had dust all over it, inside and out. But that's not the worst part, the so called "refurb" had very obviously caught on fire before, it absolutely wreaks of an electrical fire. The csr's at BFG were beyond rude, never offered any kind of apology, and essentially told me tough s***, all they would do is send me another used psu.
Do yourself a favor, don't chance your hard-earned money or your computer with BFG. I realize that some people got good performers, but the failure rate is way to high and there is no sense in taking a chance when there are other much more solid, dependable performers out there. Get a seasonic, corsair, pcp&c, anything but bfg. There have been way too many people that have had these things die on them, don't risk it.
Excellent Tech Support-Poor design4/14/2009 11:49:35 AM
Pros: Great when it works (1 month)
Cons: 1) Had to RMA my first Power Supply because it started emitting sparks/fireworks like the 4th of July
2) Second power supply RMA is underway since it started flaking out within a couple of days. Random clicking/sparks.
Overall Review: Customer service/Tech Support is the best I have ever seen. Response times range from a few mins to less than half hour. Hardly any 'pushback' ! If only the product worked.....sigh...

Umm .... What Happened?1/17/2009 9:21:17 PM
Pros: Started out as a good PSU. Supports 2 GTX 260's, however I didn't nake it that far....
Cons: Nearly burned my house down. After less than 3 months of ownership it caught fire.
Overall Review: Asus m3n-ht, x2 6400, single gtx 260, 8 gig corsair ram. Hopefully my other components aren't damaged from this thing catching fire.....
