    Introduction

    Buying a power supply is a lot like shopping for tires.  You know you need them but it’s just not going to raise your heart rate.  That’s why it’s so nice to find something new.  Today we will be looking at their LEPA MaxBron B800M power supply.  The B800M is a hybrid modular design that fits the 800W sweet spot we recommend for so many builds. 

    Our B800M is part of the MaxBron line that features power supplies from 450W to 1000W.  All of the MaxBron line is available in black with bold white and orange accents.  LEPA’s unique Anti3s Q-Brick provides the red accent but a black Q-Brick is included for those builds where red is not as appealing.

    Selecting a power supply can be quite a challenging prospect but you can't go wrong starting with a power supply calculator like the one found on New Egg.  Once you have that roughed out it's all about the specifications.
