Bjorn3D takes a look at the ABS-Tagan TG800-U88 BZ 800 Watt Power Supply.



Back in September, 2007 we reviewed the ABS-Tagan TG1300-U33 ITZ 1300 Watt power supply and found it to be one of the best of the new generation of high-output power supplies. Our only functional concern with the ITZ 1300 was that it did not use a modular design. Modularity in power supplies has become extremely important to computer enthusiasts as it allows them to only use the wiring necessary to facilitate their system's operation. As one might expect, modular cabling further aids in the efficient management of your cables as it can vastly decrease that mass of extra wires that you have to deal with in the top/bottom of your case.

After our review was published we took the liberty of relating this consensus to Tagan's representative. As it turns out ABS-Tagan was a step ahead and he assured us that in the near future they would fill this void in their product line. We've heard this type of answer before from other product manufacturers about various recommendations we've made, only to be disappointed, so we didn't hold our breath. Approximately two weeks ago we were contacted by a representative of ABS Laboratories, a well know company in the gaming world, who both collaborated and certified the ABS-Tagan TG1300-U33 ITZ 1300 Watt power supply for extreme gaming. The ABS Labs marketing rep asked if we'd be interested in reviewing ABS-Tagan's newest product. We had two questions: 1) Is it modular? and 2) Did you certify this PSU as well? After receiving affirmation to both questions all we could say is, 'How quickly can you get it to us?'.

Today we have the distinct pleasure to review the newest addition to ABS-Tagan's power supply line of products, the TG800-U88 BZ. Does this unit live up to the quality and performance that we've found in previous ABS-Tagan products? Join us as we begin our quest to find out.
