Bought a SMART 850W @89€ only, arrived yesterday.
Seems very good. If I could be of any help for you about this unit guys, just tell me
but I don't have a multimeter :/

750M and 850M in da house

Their reviews are going to be late though because of Computex.

The 750M performed well and its internals are really interesting! Actually it is a modified TX750M platform.

Looking forward to see

Current price in US is OK
Could be a new choice for 750/850w

Great news
As now, no problems at all with 850.
Just 3.3V is reported to be 3.26-3.23 on my P45 mobo (like my previous Hiper Type R)..but I don't know..maybe these readings on mobo are normal??

Yeah, it's perfectly normal for the motherboard voltage readings to be way off.
That's probably why no one who's serious about voltage monitoring pays any attention to them...

SP-750/850M could be considered an upgraded TXM plus SR

Motherboards hardly ever have a chip sophisticated enough to actually read the voltage input. They're more concerned with being accurate on the output side of things (e.g. voltage to the DRAM & CPU.)

So you shouldn't ever worry about what the board says the voltages on your PSU are. You're better off grabbing a decent DMM and checking yourself as the 5v, 12v, & 3.3v rails can all be checked from spare PCIe, EPS, Molex, or SATA connectors (3.3v being exclusive to the SATA cables.)

exactly but strangelly enough performance/efficiency is about the same. And since the review will take maybe a week till it's posted here is a photo of the intenals showing a clear view of the secondary.

Maybe it's easier to see a efficiency difference under 110Vac.

At least CWT PUQ has 1-2% higher efficiency than TXM in 80PLUS report.

Never reviewed?
Or I have missed it?
