500W to 550W: 12 Power Supplies Compared

BFG LS-550 - Overview

The LS-550 is our first ever BFG power supply unit and we've been looking forward to it. BFG is renowned for its graphics hardware as well as motherboards, and now that they've hired power supply reviewer JonnyGuru we're quite interested in seeing what they can do in the PSU market. The unit we are reviewing today is also manufactured by Enhance, which is clearly visible in the distinctive layout. BFG chose to go with the 140mm fan most Enhance units are using, which is a good idea since these fans are a real benefit to the power supplies.

The design looks very similar to the Akasa unit, except it appears BFG went with a longer case to fit the fan. The heatsinks also look slightly different, although placement is the same. The rectifier bridge again gets its own heatsink, which is typical of Enhance made power supplies. A 105°C Nippon Chemi-Con capacitor is used in the primary, paired with a few Teapo caps in the secondary.
