4. Product Overview
The Lian Li Edge Series EG0850BE.US is an 850W 80 PLUS Platinum certified, fully modular power supply designed for high-performance PC builds. Its unique L-shape design and integrated USB hub offer enhanced cable management and connectivity, especially beneficial for dual-chamber cases.
Figure 3: Front view of the power supply highlighting the modular connector panel and L-shape design.
L-Shape Design
The innovative L-shape design reorients the modular connectors outwards, simplifying cable management and ensuring a clean, organized build, particularly in dual-chamber chassis like the Lian Li O11 series. This allows for direct access to cable connections.
Figure 4: The L-shaped design facilitates easier cable connection and management in dual-chamber cases.
Integrated USB Expansion Hub
The power supply features a built-in USB expansion hub with four internal USB 2.0 headers, functioning as a 1-to-7 USB hub. This simplifies the connection of USB devices such as UNI fans, Strimer Plus, and RGB controllers to the motherboard, reducing cable clutter.

5. Setup
5.1. Installation in Dual-Chamber Cases
For dual-chamber cases, install the power supply in the designated compartment. The L-shape design allows for vertical installation, with connectors facing outwards for easy access. Ensure proper alignment and secure mounting with the provided screws.
5.2. Cable Management
Utilize the fully modular, braided sleeved cables and included cable combs to achieve a clean and organized build. Connect only the necessary cables to reduce clutter and improve airflow.
Figure 6: Example of cable management using braided cables and combs.
5.3. Connecting Cables
Connect the modular cables to the power supply first, then route them to your components. This approach simplifies the process, especially with the outward-facing connectors. Ensure all connections are firm and secure.
5.4. 12V-2x6 Connector
The 12V-2x6 connector features a dual-color shell. If the blue portion of the connector is visible after plugging it into your GPU, it indicates that the cable is not fully seated. Push firmly until the blue is no longer visible to ensure a secure connection.

6. Operating
6.1. Fan Operation
The power supply is equipped with a 120mm Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) fan. It operates in a fanless mode at low loads for silent operation. The fan will automatically activate and adjust its speed as the load increases to maintain optimal temperatures.
6.2. USB Hub Functionality
The integrated USB hub provides uninterruptible power to connected devices, allowing them to remain operational even when the PC is turned off, as long as the power supply is receiving power. Each port supports a rate current of 500mA.

7. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your power supply, regular maintenance is recommended:
- Keep the power supply and its fan grille free from dust and debris. Use compressed air to gently clean the fan and vents periodically.
- Ensure adequate airflow around the power supply within your PC case.
- Avoid exposing the unit to liquids or excessive moisture.
8. Troubleshooting
- No Power: Ensure all cables are securely connected, especially the 24-pin motherboard connector and the AC power cord. Check the power switch on the PSU.
- System Instability: Verify that all power connectors to components (CPU, GPU, storage) are properly seated. Ensure your system's power requirements do not exceed the PSU's capacity.
- Fan Noise: The fan operates in fanless mode at low loads. If the fan is constantly running loudly, check for excessive dust buildup or ensure proper ventilation within the case.
- 12V-2x6 Connector Issue: If the blue part of the 12V-2x6 connector is visible, it is not fully seated. Push firmly until it is no longer visible.
