If you're looking for a power supply to feed your hungry system, look no further. The new HX850 PSU from Corsair puts out an impressive 850 watts of power and supports the latest ATX12V v2.3 standards as well as EPS12V 2.91 standards. The unit is 80 PLUS GOLD certified and has a 99% Active Power Factor Correction to ensure maximum efficiency.
The cables are extra long, to work in the largest tower. They are fully sleeved for easy routing and bundling. There are six 8-pin PCIe power connectors so you can build up a CrossFire or SLI system using today’s high end video cards.

Keeping it all cool is a temperature-controlled 140mm fan. Air is vented through the hexagon mesh back panel. The universal input accepts voltages from 90V to 264V so you no longer have to worry if the switch was in the right position.
