Unfortunately the use of such small heatsinks made the HX850W a little louder than the rest of the HX series units we reviewed in the past. It operates silently under nominal load
But as the load rises above 60% the unit will become increasingly more ...
OCP at 5VSB
Bulky ATX
EPS and PCIe cables
A little higher conducted EMI compared to the HX1000 and HX1200
Short distance between peripheral connectors
Inrush current (230V)

They say that some things get better with age, and in the case of Corsair's HX series at least I'm inclined to agree. The HX620W was a great PSU, the HX1000W even better. But when it come to designing and building the HX850W Corsair have realy pushed the...
Corsair HX850W is an impressive power supply, being to this date the power supply with the highest efficiency that we’ve ever tested, beating Seasonic M12D 750 W and Antec Signature 650 W. The reason why these three models achieved efficiency above...
fantastically efficient, 12V ripple suppression second only to a very few high end units, very, very stable regulation, good value,
loose heatsink screws yet again,
The long wait for a modular 850W unit from Corsair is at last over, and I do hereby declare that this unit was worth waiting for. Not only is this the most efficient Corsair I've ever looked at, it's also the best performing. Now, all Corsair needs is ...
The Corsair HX850W represents the newest edition to Corsairs flagship line of power supplies and it along with the TX750W plug the obvious gap that had previously existed. In filling this void Corsair had a lot to live up to as the HX620W was probably...

Abstract: Corsair has been a major player in the power supply market since 2006. The release of their two first PSU products, the HX520 and HX620, proved to be a great success at the time, quickly making Corsair one of the favorite brands amongst enthusiasts. Today...
Justifying its premium branding, the Corsair HX850 comes with a seven-year warranty from local distributor Corbell. It's not cheap however, with an online retail price of around US$195. For that price though, you know what you're in for and the HX850 c...
Abstract: Escoger una buena fuente de alimentación no es baladí. Recuerdo que me metí en esto del hardware hace muchos años porque mi PC de por aquellos entonces, un AMD Athlon XP, se reiniciaba sin explicación. Había flirteado desde niño con el hardware y la progr...
