Who's got an XFX 850?

[Big Lar]

How do you guys like this PSU? Is it quiet, does it run hot? Whats the scoop?

Thanks, I have read that review of Oklahoma's about 6 times, LOL! Just looking for real user input before I buy 1. I know it's the Seasonic platform and all, just wanted to hear from folks that own them. Thank you tho

edit; I should have mentioned that i am thinking about the 850 Antec Signature unit as well. My PSU in my sig is great but I want to upgrade it and quiet is great.

If you want silent, get a Seasonic X750. The fan doesn't even spin unless you're pulling a 30% load.

I know that the X750 is quiet but want a bit more reserve power so that I don't need to upgrade the PSU again in another year. I really think that 850 is the minimum wattage to keep my usage happy. I figure when I upgrade to my next platform of cpu/mobo, ram and possibly a coupla more 15k drives, new vid card, etc I'll be pushing a 750 a bit harder than I would like.
