Gigabyte AORUS ELITE 850W 80+ Platinum PSU - ATX 3.1, PCIe 5.1
The Gigabyte AORUS ELITE 850W 80+ Platinum PSU is built for modern high-performance PCs, especially those with PCIe Gen 5 graphics cards and power-hungry components. It handles extreme power draws from current-generation GPUs while maintaining efficiency and quiet operation.
Why this product
ATX 3.1 and PCIe Gen 5 ready
Sustains power excursions up to 3× GPU power and 2× total system power. Includes a native 16-pin cable delivering up to 600W to PCIe Gen 5 graphics cards.
92% efficiency at 50% load
80+ Platinum certification means less wasted power, lower heat output, and quieter fan operation compared to lower-tier units.
Magnetic AORUS plate
Detachable plate with neon printing and metallic sheen can be positioned on any side of the case for customisable aesthetics.
Comprehensive protection suite
Over-voltage, over-power, short-circuit, under-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature protections safeguard your system.

Best for
- High-end gaming builds with PCIe Gen 5 GPUs
- Power-hungry workstations and rendering rigs
- Builders prioritising efficiency and lower electricity bills
- Systems requiring stable power for sensitive components
Trade-offs
- Budget builds under £500 — Platinum certification adds cost that entry-level systems don't justify.
- Compact cases — 150 mm width may not fit all mini-ITX enclosures.
- Systems with fewer than 4 PCIe connectors — overkill capacity for older or modest GPU configurations.
The AE850PM PG5 can sustain power excursions of up to 3 times the GPU power and 2 times the total power. It's fully compliant with the Intel ATX 3.1 standard, supporting up to 200% power excursions and achieving 70% efficiency at low loads. Additionally, the included high-quality, native 16-pin cable ensures compatibility with PCIe Gen 5 graphics cards, delivering up to 600 watts of power.
The unique AORUS magnetic plate can be attached to different sides of the power supply based on the user's preference, presenting the best visual effect from any angle. Additionally, while the plate being moved on the case, its neon color printing with metallic sheen creates solid and hollow special effects for the AORUS logo.
80 Plus Platinum certified ensures to deliver 92% efficiency at 50% load. The better power efficiency leads to less power waste, less heat and less fan noise.
