With the HX850W Corsair presents a very solid product. The claimed efficiency of 90 percent was reproducible in our test and features like cable management and a silent fan make this a very good power supply unit. Generally practical is a cable managem...

Corsair released the HX850W to fill the gap between their highly successful HX620W and HX1000 units, both of which were famous for their superlative reliability and awesome electrical performance. With its exceptional overall performance and build qual...
The HX850W power supply for Corsair is truly amongst the best. More units than I can either recall or count have passed through our hands here at Overclockers Online and perhaps only one, or two are at all comparable to Corsair’s HX850W unit. While Co...
Abstract: The Corsair HX850W has no serious drawbacks. Its voltages are stable and there is low output voltage ripple. It is highly efficient and offers a lot of connectors with which you can connect three graphics cards and about ten hard disk drives using no adapters. The only thing I can find fault with is that the fan is..

Abstract: 4 Over the past few years, Corsair has slowly but surely expanded its power supply lineup, with products ranging from the affordable CX400W to the high-end HX1000W modular PSU. Corsair’s latest offering, the HX850W Professional Series, isn’t quite as po...
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 pushe...
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 ...
