I think it's a safe bet that most people associate Zalman with quiet and efficient cooling components. While this would have been an accurate assessment five years ago, Zalman has since branched out and offer multiple different products spanning several different categories. The Korean company now sells monitors, computer cases, input devices and even audio equipment.

Another area they have delved into is power supplies, offering a multitude of units ranging from 360w all the way up to 1,000w monsters. Today we will be taking a look at one of their newer power supplies, the Zalman ZM850-HP Plus Computer Power Supply, a modular power system that features a large 140mm cooling fan, heatpipe-cooled internals and an 80-Plus Silver certification.


The ZM850-HP Plus arrived in a white retail box with a large photo of the power supply on the front and a bevy of features listed on the reverse in multiple languages. Below is a complete list of specifications and a cable diagram courtesy of Zalman's website.


Let's move ahead and take a closer look at the ZM850-HP Plus power supply.
