Chieftec Polaris 850W Power Supply Review

Over Power Protection and Max Wattage

Although this model is specifically rated to 850 watts, it is never unusual to find that there is a solid bit of wiggle room beyond that point. Of course, it is never recommend to buy a power supply below the requirements of what your system’s components need. If you do, however, push things too far, it is equally important that the OPP successfully works to shut your PC down before you enter the risk of causing significant damage.

Hitting 1082.3 watts, we can confirm that the OPPs worked absolutely perfectly in the Chieftec Polaris and, more so, offered a 21% boost above the officially rated amount. So, on the whole, this is excellent and would certainly give a consumer a solid peace of mind that if they do anything mildly mad, the power supply is ready to stop them potentially breaking anything!
