Verdict

Antec HCG850 Gold Extreme

8.1 / 10 Expert Rating

A well-priced step below the HCG1000 with the same ATX 3.0 platform and 10-year warranty, right for RTX 4080-class builds.

Thermaltake Toughpower iRGB Plus 850W Platinum

8.7 / 10 Expert Rating

Thermaltake's older but still-current iRGB Plus flagship pairs Platinum efficiency with a software-controlled RGB fan and sleeved cables, aimed at builders who want lighting alongside high efficiency.
