  • Abstract:  While the Corsair HX850W is a newest model representing a newest platform, the TX850W is yet another reincarnation of the well-known PSH platform from Channel Well. However, this PSU delivers good electrical parameters...

  • Abstract:  Video Review: The The Corsair TX line of power supplies are currently available in three wattages; 650, 750 & 850. I'll be reviewing the Corsair TX850W Power Supply which has more than enough power, even for high-end computer systems. You can't go wrong with any of the Corsair PSUs as long as you select the correct wattage for your application. If you're in the market for a high wattage, affordable non-modular PSU then this should be at the top of your list! Watch the video to find out more...

  • Excellent performance, Value, value, value, Fully sleeved, Quiet, Beautiful paintjob
  • None
  • When it comes to the absolute best when balancing price and performance, a few units come to mind, among them Corsairs TX750W was definitely among those at the front of the pack. Today we add Corsairs TX850W to that list. The 850W priced in the lower...

  • 80PLUS certification, 5 year warranty, Incredibly stable
  • Expensive for wattage, Not modular
  • The only thing I dont like is its non-modular design, which necessitates additional cable management (read: tucking cables into places where Id rather have airflow!).Available for $140 at NewEgg as of the time of writing, the Corsair tx850 is worth ...

  • The first words that spring to mind are WOW WOW WOW. The TX850 is really that good. During room temperature testing, the voltage stability was excellent with all rails staying extremely close to their ideal values. Even when placing the unit in some nasty...

  • The Corsair TX850W comes in at a power level that fills a perceived vacancy in Corsairs product lineup and relies on the same basic design as their TX750W. However, at this power level previously we have had issues with other brands using this model, ...

  • extremely stable up to 849W at 45 degrees, better ripple and noise suppression than little brother, looks awesome, four 8 pin PCIE connectors, fan delay on power off,
  • efficiency got below 80% in the hot box, progressive load tests, soldering could be a bit better,
  • In what has become the norm for Corsair, their latest and greatest really is their latest and very nearly their greatest. Not only have they gone out and made the PSH platform into an excellent performer at the very top end of what it's capable of, the...

  • performance, Long, sleeved cables, 5year warranty, Durable finish, Relatively quiet, Great build quality
  • Efficiency could be better, Cables not sleeved all the way into PSU housing, Gets quite hot at higher loads
  • With such a wide selection of power supplies on the market, finding the right unit is often a daunting task for both newcomers and enthusiasts alike. By default, many consumers gravitate towards Corsair’s units due to the fact that they have a reput...
