Introduction

BFG Technologies is a relative new-comer to the power supply market, hoping to toss its chips into the pot with its rock solid name in NVIDIA-based graphics cards as its ante. The LS series is the mid-range in BFG's current hand and, despite the lack of an 80PLUS certification, it certainly seems to be an excellent power supply to have. ThinkComputers peeks at the BFG LS 680W in this review.

Packaging

The LS 680W in contained within a black box with a picture of the unit on the front, as well as highlight information such as the five year warranty and SLI support. The rear of the box shows noise and efficiency graphs, highlighting the quietness and power consumption of the unit.

A thin layer of bubble wrap surrounded the unit during its voyage to me. Included in the box is the LS 680W itself, plus a manual, power cable, and cable ties. The unit is not modular, so there no extra cables to misplace.
