MIG-31

BFG is a company which is well known mainly for their graphics cards but they have much broader horizons than that. Even though graphics cards are their bread and butter, they also produce motherboards, peripherals and power supplies as well. In this review we will be looking at their latest power supply which will soon be released upon the global marketplace. Even though you can call this a review, it can also be counted as a sneak peak at what consumers can expect once these units become available. The name of this power supply is the BFG ES-800 and it has quite a story to go along with it.

A short time ago, we here at Hardware Canucks reviewed BFG’s “older” Topower-made 800W power supply and found that it left us wanting a quite a few areas. While the overall voltage regulation was quite good, the cables were not long enough, it exhibited a fair amount of ripple and it was loud as hell when pushed. Seeing that their first 800W power supply’s performance was not appealing to the enthusiast crowd they were targeting, BFG went back to the drawing board. Without a doubt, they were on a mission and that mission was to prove that they could release a power supply which appealed to enthusiasts while keeping a respectable price. Even though it was a tall order, we were all convinced that BFG had the muscle to back it up.
