Nexus nx-8050

[revenant]

Hey!

I'm having a hard time finding reviews on this supposedly "killer PSU".
I have yet only found 2 reviews, which both give the nx-8050 a high rating with the drawback as giving poor values on the 12v-rail (and of course the high price).

Is there anyone who has found more than these previous stated reviews? Someone with personal experience of this psu? 8050 vs. 8060 performance/sound, which is the better buy? Corsair hx520 vs. nx-8050 in silence, 'performance for a gaming rig'-view, which is the better buy if the price is similiar or doesnt matter?

From the review of the P182SE, I'd guess SPCR will review the NX8060 pretty soon, since it was in the system they tested. "Initial impressions are very positive" according to MikeC (from page 5)

Hi guys,

Here is a new review of the NX-8050:

(and of course the high price).

I guess this will change when they become more available. The biggest retailer in Finland has priced NX-8040 for 97.90€, NX-8050 for 119.90€ and NX-8060 136.90€. For comparison Antec NeoHe 430W is 93.90 €, Antec NeoHe 500W 101.90 € and Antec NeoHe 550W 121.90 €. Seasonic M12-500 152.90 €, Seasonic M12-600 192.90 €, Seasonic M12-700 222.90 €.

So I guess it can depend alot on where you live. But at least here in Finland the new Nexus psus are a bargain, especially the 600W model.
