arrived quickly and in pretty box , realy heavy unit, modular.New egg is the very best ( see other thoughts) I Installed this with TLC , when I was completed hit the power and it started smoking ! Took out a perfectly very good motherboard and filled the space with burned electrical smell.. I was shocked that a corsair item costing this substantially would do that. Thanks goodness for New egg , I named them and they imeditly issued a RMA , waived the restocking and paid for the return shipping even although it was not their fault corsair is at fault here not new egg . I will be ordering something else and it will not be a corsair power provide

Wonderful PSU. Actually nice look, cables are sleeved. Very long cables and SLI Prepared.7 year warranty that you dont need to register.Cables are fairly long for a mid tower, but it helps with cable management. The packaging is a bit ridiculous, but truly a nice gesture from corsair even though that tacks on to the overall value.

Every little thing just works -- good set of cables, all packaged nicely -- a totally drama-free of charge knowledge. I pretty much took an egg for this: the 8-pin ATX power cable is 2 inches too short to make the trip around the back panel of a Corsair 600T case! I had to acquire a 6-inch extender cable to get that performed properly. But, it would be fine in a typical-width ATX case, so I'll be fair about it. I often power up a new PSU with some trepidation, because I when skilled a DOA (not a Corsair). This 1 does not disappoint.

Good and heavy, comes with cable ties(!).I have an MSI-P35 Plat, and the 12v rails are all reporting appropriate around 12.050 volts, if this can be trusted from BIOS. Why the velvet sack? Really? I hope it didn't add considerably to the price of the product, for something you're going to eliminate once, and--at very best, shop your dice in--I feel I would have been pleased with bubble-wrap. Replaced its Corsair HX520 grandpa. Purchased an N470GTX and was seriously debating whether or not or not I should upgrade the PSU, but erred on caution mainly because I do not have the signifies to measure watt usage.

It's modular, and it makes use of mostly flat modular cabling generating management much easier than regular cables. It also came packaged with plenty of protective foam. I would've preferred to save the dollar or two and performed without the velvet corsair bag. It's an amazing seeking power provide. I wish it had an LED on the top fan.

Good develop quality, super quiet. I enjoy this thing. Simple to install, I like that I only use what I need. Some pieces are not modular. Not even close to a deal breaker.

Having purchased and used a Corsair HX620 from NCIX.com in the past I had no hesitation in purchasing the HX850. My HX620 has never given me any problems for that last 4 years so I was confident that the HX850 would meet all my needs for the next 4 with its power and stability.

Nothing really I can add that hasn't currently been stated, so I'll just say that I've been using one of these is my key rig for a little more than year and have had no power difficulties. Correct now I've got it powering an ATI 5750, four difficult-drives, and 3 DVD drives - and it's probably overkill for that. Possibly if you added a couple additional high-end graphics cards in a SLI or Crossfire setup, you could require a thing much more, but I doubt it. Can't think of any Today, March 14 񢉛), this baby is on sell here for 账.99 - that's a steal! The sale ends tomorrow, so if this gets posted before then and you happen to read it, take my assistance and - purchase it! ;)

lots and lots of connections. comes in a velvet bag with a carrying case for all them cables. why are the pci-e power connectors built into the psu? they're not removable, why? this is for a server i don't need pci-e power connectorsalso kindof high-priced we'll see if it's as reliable as it really should be for the expense

Bought four-four-11It's operating: Ahead of I bought this I read as a lot of critiques as I could ie: Johnny Guru's, Hardware Secrets, Anand Tech ect. All of which gave this PSU their highest rewards and some of which proved this could have very easily passed Gold certification and puts out 1000watts of clean energy if required. This CPU has some of the cleanest Ripple/Noise signals of any PSU, only beat by a extremely couple of with superb voltage regulation.It's heavy (Very great sign), good long cables, I actually like the flat cables and sheer quantity of cables included. None My rig isn't capable of pulling 850 watts and it's quite properly ventilated so I cannot get the fan to run at full speed but when stressing the CPU and GPU it's nonetheless dead silent. Just a suggestion: Cover your unused ports and cable ends with black electrical tape to prevent dust contamination, I do this for my board as well.I will come back and write a second evaluation in 1 yr or if it dies just before hand.My Rig:(Old mid tower case)Asrock 890GX Extreme threeAMD Phenom II X4 @ three.4Scythe Mugen2 (dual fans)Gkill GBRH 8gig 4x2Evga 560Ti WD 500GB HDLite On DVD BurnerCorsair HX850four fans Flatron IPS226(Don't laugh she's paid for!!)

Quality, Excellent, Top quality! The difference in between this Corsair and other name brand PSU's that I have owned is profound. It has delivered the smoothest power achievable at near complete silence. Operating with the modular cables was a delight. BTW Corsair, the good quality presentation of the box, the case and the velvet cover was not missed on me. You have acquired me as a customer and will be on the watch for other products you put your name to. Most impressed None i7 2600K CPU, ASUS P8P67 Deluxe MB, 8g Mushkin 6-8-6-24 RAM, Zotac 580 GTX @ 900MHz, 2x120 G.Skill Pheonix SSD's and 3x7200 RPM storage drives, CM HAF 942 case, 40 in. monitor

Nothing else to say that hasn't already been stated. This thing can manage any setup you throw at it. When you take it out of the box, the high-high quality craftsmanship is very apparent; you could in all probability use it as a wrecking ball and it would nonetheless function. Anyway, it has way a lot more cables than you will ever use, which is usually superior, the box is actually sturdy and ideal for storing all the bits in, and it comes with a neat carrying bag for whatever other computer-related junk you might have laying around.The modular cables are good quality, and the permanent cables have superior wrapping. All cables are quite lengthy, sufficient to do a clean wiring job about the opposite side of the case :)All in all... A PSU that not only works great, but goes above and beyond the excellent-call-of-duty!So yeah 10ቦ! Obtain now! None It does weigh about 900 pounds so you might want to look at a bottom-mounted case (I at present have it in a Coolermaster Cosmos). But that's really just an ego-consideration; it'll function fine in whatever case you got!Currently powering this method:EVGA x58 board2x EVGA GTX460 in SLIIntel i7 930 @ three.00Ghz12gigs G-Skill Pi DDR3 1600Mhz Memory

So Far so Good, Had some issues in the Beginning, but I managed to figure the Complications 1 at a time. This Power Supply is bigger and heavier than your normal average 850 Watt, but taking into consideration the workmanship, it can overlooked considering that this comes with a 7 year Warranty! The Greatest most Expensive PSU I ever bought to date. I'll let you guys know in 7 years weather this PSU is worth it or not! lol!

over a year and still kicking ***. I have moved, replaced, and filled my pc to the brink and never reach the breaking point. It looks wonderful and the modular feature is so worth it. The clutter no cost PC looks awesome and breaths fantastically. Mine takes air from below so this was extremely critical to me (sliverstone rv01). NONE!

I genuinely impressed with this ps. Normally by pc energy and cooling stuff for my high finish program. This time i wanted a modular ps. Runs my setup with out a sweat. Nothing that i have come across however Definitely liked the finish on this baby. Also the bag that u can keep the spare cables in was a good touch

A lot of power for SLI or XFire. Modular style. Even quieter and cooler than my ABS Tagan 700W (Best psu ever) Particularly satisfied. Came with an extra floppy connector that you can connect to a the molex. Good for cable management if you even have a floppy drive... Sata and Molex connector spacings are very close. Had to run an extra sata cord to power my optical drive in a Full atx case. No LED light. Came in a bag (nice but, some instances will scratch psu anyways.)
