BFG EX-1200 Modular Power Supply

Introducing The Modular, Frequency Conversion Power Supply: The EX Series

BFG Tech has taken a whole new approach to computer power supplies with the EX Series. Most power supplies are inefficient at lower loads, making it difficult to plan for future expansion while maintaining a green initiative. By using Frequency Conversion technology, the EX power supply can actually emulate virtually any size power supply and therefore be at least 80% efficient, even with loads as low as 10% of the unit's maximum capability. EX power supplies have the lowest minimum load requirements and the best +5VSB efficiency on the market. BFG Tech uses all Japanese capacitors for longer life and gold-plated pins for improved conductivity.

• Includes six PCI Express® Connectors for Multi Graphics Card Support
• Features new 8-Pin PCI Express® Connectors
• Quad 12V Rails

ATX12V 2.2 / EPS12V 2.91
Supports the latest Intel® and AMD® based platforms requiring 24-Pin motherboard and 4-Pin or 8-Pin 12V connectors. With the 20+4-Pin motherboard connector, it is also backward compatible with previous ATX standards.

Quad +12V Rails
By splitting the +12V source into four separate rails, your components are provided the most stable power available while upholding rigorous safety standards.

PCI Express® Ready
The PCI Express power connectors ensure compatibility with many high-end and graphics cards without having to use unreliable, often performance hindering adapters.



SATA Connectors
Serial ATA connectors allow you to connect serial ATA devices without needing special adapters.

BFG Thermal Control Technology
During regular operation, the fan slows down to reduce unnecessary noise.

Protection Circuitry
Built-in protection circuitry is able to handle common power irregularities such as over-voltage, overload, and short circuits.

MTBF
A mean time between failure rating of greater than 100,000 hours guarantees a long lasting and reliable source of power.

High Efficiency
While most computer power supplies pinnacle at 80% efficiency, the BFG EX Series is typically 80% to 85% efficient, which means more power drawn from the outlet is converted to DC power for your computer than many of the other units on the market.

This 1200 Watt piece of machinery is fairly close to what I consider perfection in terms of design and requirements .. and with a price just under 250 USD, BFG might have something really special on their hands.
