Key Specifications

Power That Keeps Your PC Stable

The Heracles 850W Gold features a single +12V rail delivering up to 70.9A, providing consistent power delivery for high-performance components. The active Power Factor Correction (PFC) helps maintain clean power delivery, reducing electrical noise that could affect sensitive hardware. This stability is crucial for gaming PCs, workstations, and systems with multiple graphics cards.

Cooling Designed for Quiet Operation

Equipped with a 140mm fan using hydro bearing technology, this PSU maintains optimal temperatures without excessive noise. The front-mounted fan location and removable dust filter work together to ensure proper airflow while preventing dust buildup. The fan only spins when needed, keeping your system quiet during light workloads.

Fully Modular for Clean Builds

The fully modular design lets you connect only the cables you need, eliminating cable clutter inside your case. With multiple PCIe 6+2 pin connectors (4 total) and a 12+4 pin connector, you’ll have plenty of options for powering graphics cards and other components. The included cable lengths—55cm for motherboard and PCIe, 65cm for CPU—provide flexibility for various case sizes.

Built-In Protection Features

Your components stay protected with built-in over-voltage protection. The Heracles PSU monitors electrical output and automatically shuts down if dangerous voltage levels are detected, preventing damage to your expensive hardware. This protection, combined with the 80+ Gold efficiency rating, helps extend the lifespan of both the PSU and your connected components.
