Full power rated up toiThe ambient temperature up to which the maker rates full continuous power, such as 50 °C. A review table that prints 0-50 °C with no maker source is not enough. An operating temperature range that does not say full power is not enough. A maker table with load steps gives the full-load row, such as 40 °C at full load next to 50 °C at 80 percent load. A temperature that a Cybenetics report marks as manufacturer-provided counts as a maker statement.

80 PLUS ratingiThe 80 PLUS level. When the 80 PLUS listing or certificate and the maker claim differ, store the listing level and put the claim and test voltage in the source note. When a model has several 80 PLUS entries, such as a newer test at a higher level, use the newest entry that matches the current maker documents.

80 PLUS Gold1Maker product pagephanteks.com/product/amp-gh-black-850Read 16 October 2026Specifications: 80 Plus Gold. This is the maker claim. The 80 PLUS list has an entry for the label model PH-P850GH_01 (ID 6800.2, Gold, tested 2022-04-11, input current 12-6 A), which the agent did not match to this unit, since the maker page prints 10 A.

Its report 3202 for a Focus GX-850 (ATX3.1) tested in March 2026 rates it Platinum for the sample it received, which has a different fan model and cable set, so it is not used.

Cybenetics efficiency at 230ViThe Cybenetics ETA level from the 230V test. The 230V thresholds are higher, so the level can differ from the 115V level. The Cybenetics report wins over the maker's claim.

Cables and connectors

3 of 7 differ

CablesiOne row per kind of cable that runs from the PSU to a device. Connector is the plug at the device end. Count is the number of those plugs over all cables in the row. Length runs from the PSU end to the first plug. Adapters that plug into other cables are left out. Use 16-pin PCIe when the maker names a 16-pin GPU cable without saying 12V-2x6 or 12VHPWR. A cable from a 12V-2x6 socket on the PSU to 8-pin plugs is a cable, not an adapter, and counts as PCIe 8-pin. When the maker's documents name one GPU cable both 12VHPWR and 12V-2x6, use 16-pin PCIe and name both in the source note. Cables of one connector kind with different lengths or wire gauges get one row each.
