Product overview

NZXT’s E850 is an 850 W ATX member of the E Series digital PSUs introduced in 2018, pairing 80 Plus Gold efficiency with CAM software telemetry and control. Launch coverage placed retail availability in late July 2018, and the line is now discontinued.

Positioned in the high_end tier, it exists to offer fully modular cabling, long warranty coverage, and software‑tunable protection in a straightforward, mainstream ATX form factor. It’s a solid fit for high-end GPU builds with some headroom for overclocking; CAM exposes per‑rail metrics and adjustable OCP, and the fan can stay off under ~100 W. Note: there’s no native 12VHPWR/ATX 3.0 support—RTX 40‑series cards require an adapter.
