GIGABYTE AORUS ELITE P850W 80+ Platinum Modular PCIe 5.0 ICE
GIGABYTE AORUS ELITE P850W 80+ Platinum Modular PCIe 5.0 ICE
The GIGABYTE AORUS ELITE P850W 80+ Platinum Modular PCIe 5.1 ICE power supply delivers a stable 850W of power for demanding gaming and professional workstations. As a fully modular power supply with 80 PLUS Platinum certification, it meets high efficiency standards and supports the ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 standards, which are crucial for powering high-performance graphics cards and processors. Its internal layout is based on Japanese capacitors and a strong +12V rail, while its compact design makes installation and cable management easier, even in space-constrained cases. The flat cables and 140mm depth also contribute to this.

Choosing a power supply
When choosing a suitable PC power supply, the key parameter besides the form factor is its power output. This indicates the maximum number of watts the power supply can continuously deliver to the components in the computer. It's a good idea to use a web calculator to determine the optimal power output based on your chosen components.
ATX 3.1 standard and native 12VHPWR connector
The power supply is fully compatible with the ATX 3.1 standard. This specification gives it the ability to absorb sudden, high power draws. Specifically, it can handle short-term power spikes of up to three times the GPU's power and twice the total system power, which contributes to system stability under intensive load. The presence of a native 16-pin 12VHPWR connector also simplifies the connection of PCIe 5.1 cards. This cable delivers up to 600W of power to graphics cards, covering the energy demands of even the most powerful cards on the market. Using a single cable without adapters reduces the number of connections, increases power reliability, and also contributes to a cleaner build appearance and better airflow.
Efficiency and cooling
The 80 PLUS Platinum certification confirms high energy conversion efficiency across various load levels. At 50% load, the power supply converts up to 92% of the energy from the mains into usable power for components. Lower energy losses result in less waste heat generation. This means the cooling system doesn't have to work as hard, leading to quieter operation and lower costs. Cooling is handled by a 120mm fan with a fluid dynamic bearing (FDB). This technology uses an oil film to absorb shocks, which reduces noise and extends the fan's lifespan. Additionally, the intelligent Zero RPM feature keeps the fan stationary under low load. This means that during normal office work or web browsing, the power supply is completely silent, and the fan only activates when power draw increases.
Modular design and compact dimensions
A fully modular cabling system lets you connect only the necessary cables for your build, reducing excess clutter in the case. The included flat cables make routing easier and improve airflow around components, which helps maintain lower operating temperatures. Furthermore, the compact dimensions with a depth of 140mm simplify installation even in smaller ATX cases where space is limited.
Reliability and component protection
The internal design uses exclusively Japanese capacitors, which are known for their resistance to high temperatures and long-term stability. A single strong +12V rail provides stable power to key components, even during overclocking. A comprehensive set of protections is also included: over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, over-power, short-circuit, and over-temperature, all of which protect your hardware from damage.
Visual customisation of the power supply
The power supply also offers an element for visually customising your build. The package includes a unique magnetic plate with the AORUS logo, which can be attached to different sides of the power supply according to user preference and case orientation. Its neon print with a metallic sheen creates interesting visual effects. This detail lets you match the look of the power supply with other AORUS components, enhancing the overall design of your PC.

80 Plus certification on the European market
80 Plus certification was created to objectively evaluate the efficiency of computer power supplies. This gives users a simple and clear way to compare different models. On the European market (where a 230V voltage is used), there are six levels of 80 Plus certification with set requirements for computer power supplies. Higher energy efficiency primarily means lower energy consumption.
| PC power supply load | Efficiency at 20% load | Efficiency at 50% load | Efficiency at 100% load |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80 PLUS | 82% | 85% | 82% |
| 80 PLUS Bronze | 85% | 88% | 85% |
| 80 PLUS Silver | 87% | 90% | 87% |
| 80 PLUS Gold | 90% | 92% | 89% |
