Foreword:
In the past, when it came to the Great Wall power supply, many small partners may associate it with some OEM products, such as the power supply used in some brands of PC machines or the high-power power supply used in some mining machines, but in fact, the current Great Wall Electromechanical has a very good performance on the retail side. For example, last year, the Kunpeng series and the Langyang Huaxia series were launched, which are very good in terms of product quality and appearance. After entering 2024, Great Wall's gold hunting power supply has launched a new product - the new Nirvana series, which is based on ATX30+pcie5.It is manufactured in 0 specifications, has 80 plus gold certification, and the wire used is also a very good nylon braided flexible wire. Today I got the 850W version of this product, and let's talk about the installation experience.
Unboxing + Product Introduction:
This time, the outer packaging of the gold hunting nirvana n8 850w gold medal fully modular power supply is very creative, with a dark red exterior with n-shaped shading, which looks very textured; At the same time, the following nirvana also indicates that this is the latest Nirvana series; In addition, there is ATX3 in the upper right corner0、pcie5.0 and 80PLUS Gold certified (115V) logo, showing the selling points of this power supply.
There is also a layer of black throne inside, and those who are familiar with the Great Wall power supply should know that this is the logo of the "Gold Hunting Tribe".
Unpacking includes a storage bag, a hands-on guide, and a pack of module lines.
The size of the N8 850W gold fully modular power supply is the standard ATX, and the specific three-dimensional size is 150*150*86mm. The architecture is very mature, and it is an active PFC + LLC resonant + synchronous rectification + DC-DC architecture. As for the specific specifications: +5V and +3The maximum output current of 3V is 25A, the conversion power is 130W, and the maximum output current of a single 12V is 708a, the conversion power is 8496w。
There is also the fan grille of the power supply, you must know that most of the previous power supplies are independent circular grilles, and this time the Great Wall Nirvana N8 850W gold medal fully modular power supply is integrated with the shell, and the visual effect is very good.
Combined with the logo of "Gold Hunting Tribe" below, the recognition is full again.
In terms of interface, the Hunter Gold Nirvana N8 850W Gold fully modular power supply can be said to be better than most ATX 3 on the market0 power supply is better. The main reason is that it comes with 2 12vhpwr ports (basically only one other power supply).
At the same time, there are not only 2 12vhpwr cables, but also a 12vhpwr to dual 8pin cable in the matching advanced nylon braided cable module cable, which is convenient for users to adapt to old graphics cards.
In addition, the power attachment retains cable ties, test buckles, metal logos of the gold hunting tribe, and more.
Introduction to the test platform:
Considering that the Hunter Nirvana N8 850W Gold fully modular power supply has 850W power, this test is also the most (power-consuming) platform I am currently using (power).
The specific configuration is as follows:
cpu：intel i7 14700k
Motherboard: MSI MPG Z790 Edge Ti Max WiFi
Memory: Shadowrun HOF Pro DDR5 7000MHz 16GX2
Hard drive: Acer Predator GM7 4TB
Graphics card: Shadow RTX4080 Super OC
Chassis: MSI MPG Krypton Gun 3
Power supply: Great Wall Gold Hunter Nirvana N8 850W Gold Fully Modular Power Supply.
Display: MSI MPG321UR-QD
First of all, the processor is i7-14700K, not only the frequency is higher than the previous generation i3-13700K, but also an additional 4 small cores, so the energy consumption is also further improved, generally using the default settings, the power consumption can reach more than 280W.
In order to match the i7-14700K, I chose the new generation of Z790 motherboard - MSI MPG Z790 Edge Ti Max WiFi, which has been updated in hardware and functions, such as supporting Wi-Fi 7 and PCIe 50, and it has also been optimized for memory performance, both in terms of performance release and overclocking performance, which is better than the previous generation.
For example, this memory,I chose the Shadow HOF Pro 16GB*2 7000MHz,Not only is it good-looking,It supports ARGB synchronization,The performance is also very good,The measured frequency can easily reach7800MHz,But for the vast majority of users, the frequency of turning on the default XMP 7000MHz is enough。
In terms of radiators, in order to suppress the i7-14700K, I used the MSI MEG Coreliquid S360, which belongs to MSI's flagship liquid cooling, and the main focus is extreme performance. For example, although the fan adopts a matte design, the performance is very good, with a maximum speed of 2000rpm and a maximum wind pressure of 221mmH2O, maximum air volume 562cfm。
At the same time, the MSI MEG Coreliquid S360's water block is also more creative, in addition to a 6mm downward pressure fan, it is also equipped with a 24-inch screen, which can display CPU frequency, temperature and other information, and also supports customization, which can be put into some**+ to bring a more personalized experience.
In terms of chassis, the MSI Krypton Gun 3 is a high-end mid-tower chassis built by MSI in 2023.
For example, the interior includes 4 ARGB fans and an ARGB graphics card bracket, especially this graphics card bracket with a transparent design, which not only presents a beautiful ARGB lighting effect, but also can easily adjust the height and front and rear distance to meet the needs of different graphics cards.
Actual installation:
With the AIDA64 single-bake FPU and Furmark dual copy, the power consumption of the whole machine can easily exceed 600W. However, under the stable output of the Great Wall Nirvana N8 850W gold medal fully modular power supply, the whole machine does not have any instability.
Summary:
As a new product of the Great Wall's gold hunting tribe power supply, this Nirvana N8 850W gold medal fully modular power supply has not only changed a lot in appearance, but also has excellent workmanship and performance. As for the ** aspect, it is also 679 yuan, what do you think of the cost performance?
