A little while ago, ThinkComputers reviewed the Zalman ZM500-HP 500W power supply unit. This time around, Zalman, maker of fine cooling products and power supplies, submitted for review a more powerful, but louder version of its line of power supply units, the ZM850-HP 850W. This 80PLUS-certified unit has lots of connectivity with its modular design, and two heatpipes and an ultra-quiet fan keep the unit virtually silent. The review is here.

Voiding the warranty on the PSU, I took off the top to get a look at the inside and the "Dual Heatpipe Cooling" design and all the other internals. The inside is nicely laid out with the output wiring bundled off to one side and two heatsinks running from front to back like most power supplies. However, unlike any other PSU I've seen, this unit boasts two copper heat pipes that run from the standard heatsinks to a pair of finned heatsinks right in front of the exhaust venting at the back of the unit. This design allows the heat disapating from the main heatsinks to travel along the copper piping, and out to the fins where the exhausting air from the fan will blow the heat out of the box thus keeping more heat away from the electrical parts in the power supply.

Zalman which is famous for its high quality copper heatpipes and very quiet PC cooling hardware started releasing high quality, quiet and efficient power supplies not long ago with 500w and 600w models with integrated heatpipes to cool its innards. Zalman is upping their ante into this crowded market with a new 850w and 1000w model for those extreme users. I reviewed the 600w version back in December 2006 and it was quite nice so I expect the 850w version I'm reviewing today to be more of the good stuff. Read on to find out if it lives up to the Zalman name.
