BFG ES-800 800W Power Supply Review

Packaging and Accessories


The packaging of the BFG ES-800 is your standard fare with a black box containing a picture of the power supply as well as a quick rundown of some of its features and mention of the lifetime warranty. Meanwhile, the back of the packaging is a bit different from trends that we have seen in the past. It contains efficiency and noise numbers along with a blow-by-blow mini instruction manual showing how to install the power supply into your case.


We know this is mostly a given with higher-end power supplies but the strength of the interior packaging plays a huge role in the condition your power supply arrives to you in. There are freight companies out there that seem to love screwing around with your package and it is these situations that proper padding around something as sensitive as a power supply is essential.

That being said, BFG has included enough padding that there shouldn’t be any issues with rough handling. The power supply is nestled between two blocks of polystyrene and then additionally covered in bubble wrap to prevent it from getting scratched. All of the accessories are pushed off to the side of the box in order to provide additional protection.


The accessories you get with the BFG ES-800 are pretty much par for the course with the majority of power supplies out there. However, BFG has taken things a bit further by providing an instruction / user’s manual which is actually written in English and a couple of very handy Velcro tie-wraps. Other than that you get mounting screws and a rugged albeit thin power cord.
