CORSAIR RM Series RM850 CP-9020196-NA 850W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Power Supply

Pros: -Modular -Curved edges -Powerful -Runs Great

Cons: It does have a noticeable smell initially, but it goes away... and this is fairly normal in new PSU's so it's not a big con by any means.

Overall Review: RM 850 Series. I have used this for a few months now and so far this has been a solid power supply. This one is modular, so it makes cabling easier if you don't need all of the power ports, just use what you need. Comes with all the cables you need, some zip ties, screws to mount it. This has a pretty sleek design, the edges are a bit rounded and not sharp. Cables connect in the ports pretty easily, they fit well, but can be a little hard to get out sometimes, but not really an issue.. you do't want the cables falling out of their ports! Runs multiple drives, an SSD, 8 Core processor, with a single gaming graphics card etc.. I would purchase again, no doubt.

Pros: This is the re-release of the RM line. With this released they have upgraded the RM series to be closer to the RMx series. Upgrades to the capacitors, now 105c Japanese caps Fan, now with quieter bearings Better thermal efficiency, means quieter and less wasted power 10 year warranty I think the only thing this RM is missing over my older RMx is the fancy bags for the PSU and Cables. It's actually just as efficient and as quiet but 20mm shorter and a little lighter. The other big pros (for most people building new PCs) are the better usage of cables. Corsair dropped the extra peripheral and floppy lines and added two more sata lines. Other pros are... The near silent operation - no fan and no noise up to 340 watts. And under 30 dB at max output. Zip ties included for this cable management types... 80+ Gold certification Great corsair brand 10 year warranty!!! Decent prices.

Cons: Not many cons. I guess if you need a floppy drive and or excessive older 4 pin peripherals, look elsewhere. But as long as you research your product as you should if you're buying gear with atypical needs, then you'll not be looking here... Fully modular can be a con to some. Allegedly, depending on which camp you believe and hide hard core you are, the modular system induces some power loss at the connection between the psu and cable. So having a partially module system, the 24pin and a few sata lines are the best of both worlds. But the this is just nitpicking.

Pros: - Plenty of Connectivity. - MS Modern Standby Mode Support - Corsair's 10 Year Warranty - 80Plus Gold - Quality

Cons: - None at the time of this review.

Overall Review: This is a revamped and updated addition to Corsair's long standing line of "RM" series power supplies. Sporting a sleek and simple black design, an 80 Plus Gold rating, and a 10 year warranty. The most notable changes with is version are no Link support, more connectivity (12, up from 9), and a mix of Taiwanese and Japanese industrial-grade 105°C rated capacitors. It also includes 2 4+4 connections for higher end motherboards, that was nice to see. Lastly, it has support for Modern Standby mode in Windows 10. The cable lengths are good, easily accommodating the CM HAF 932 case I dropped this PSU in. Right now, it's being tested in a recently rebuilt/upgraded AMD Ryzen 5 2600 system running an XFX RX 590 Fatboy. So far, so good. We have not had a single issue with the system since swapping out with this PSU. I can't speak to longevity just yet, but if there are any changes, I will post a followup review. All in all this is a great addition to Corsair's RM line of power supplies!

Pros: Easy switch with my white RM850X, just slipped this unit in and connected all cables (they both share type 4 cables). Having the Corsair custom color cables that are higher quality than the normal default included cables makes this unit look a lot better. I'd say the PSU is whisper quiet but that'd be lying as you can't even hair a faint sound coming from the fanless unit, with the gaming I've been doing lately I doubt I'll hear the fan come on anytime soon. If it could talk, it'd be laughing at powering a high-end Z390 system with two 8 pin video cards, can take care of a load higher than 850W on its single rail I'm sure! To summarize, it's still a PSU but probably the best you can get at this price point especially with accounting how good the warranty is and the quality of internal components for the series of these units. It's a bit strange that there are no 1200-1500W offerings in this series as I'm sure tons of users would be happy to have more than enough power and never have to worry about the unit's performance while still feeling like they're getting quite a lot for their money!

Cons: Not enough options at this price point, great to be able to get something so good for such an entry level pricing.

Overall Review: If there's something I'd change would be an option into choosing which color cables to ship with the PSU as opposed to having to purchase a 2nd set of custom cables that are Type 4 but add to the initial price.

Pros: • Modular cables • High-quality capacitors • 80 PLUS Gold *should* save you some money with power efficiency • Low noise • Fast wake from sleep • Ten-year warranty • Plenty of SATA cables • Included zip ties

Cons: • No support for legacy components

Overall Review: Modular cables are a godsend, especially for someone like me who dislikes clutter in my build. • High-quality capacitors – If you’ve ever had one explode/burst, you realize how important this is. • Low noise – simply cannot hear it above case fans, which are all very quiet as it is. • Ten-year warranty – are they insane? No, just confident. • Fast wake from sleep – I tested a few times, but, because it is not a good practice to sleep a system with an SSD, I don’t do this full-time. • Optionally, and not included, one could purchase Corsair premium individually sleeved cables which is a nice option to have. • If you need to add legacy components, you can easily buy an adaptor. • My build: Intel i5-9400F, MSI MAG Z390 TOMAHAWK (MS-7B18), 1 x SSD, 3 x HDD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760. Yes, this PSU is way overpowered, but I do plan on upgrading to a RTX video card soon, so this will keep me in good shape. • Over the years of building machines, I have come to trust and rely on the Corsair brand. This one does not fail to impress. Would purchase again and highly recommend.

Pros: - Fully modular - More than enough power for any normal system. Even most two-GPU systems will be OK on 850W. - I don't have the tech personally to check things like voltage regulation and ripple, but professional reviews give good marks on this - Gold certified means you're not going to be wasting tons of $$$ on unused power - Very quiet. Barely audible among other normal system components. - 10 Year warranty is absolutely amazing. You can always judge the quality of components used in a PSU by the length of the warranty.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I replaced my 8 year old (and now out of warranty) Corsair AX1200 with this guy. Worked like a charm, and is a perfect replacement now that I no longer run 2 or 3 way GPU setups. I think 850W is a sweet spot for high end rigs that are doing single CPU/GPU, and highly recommend this to anyone building a gaming PC with an OC'd CPU and a 250W+ GPU. My rig is a 5930k @ 4.5 GHz and an overclocked 2080 Ti.

Pros: Hello Today I will be reviewing the Corsair RM850 Power supply “PSU”. There is so much to cover here I am not sure where to start. The biggest thing for me is the components that Corsair uses. They took the time to go out and find capacitors that won’t hiss. This is that very high pitch sound that you get from a power supply when its plugged in. That is a very nice touch and the fact that they went to the trouble to do this tells you that Corsair takes pride in the products that they produce. The PUS is very quiet, and I almost never hear it. This brings me to the next part that is super cool about this PSU, it will turn off the fan if it’s not needed. This also reduces the sound footprint. The PSU is fully modular and comes with a large array of wiring options. This is nice if you’re going to be going a clear case, you have more control of cable management. The trim of the PSU is also very nice and clean looking. Once again if you have a clear case you don’t have to worry about some funky looking PSU fan cover and a mismatched fan light. I live in AZ and it’s HOT here! This PSU just keeps plugging along and never seems to care that I have the AC set to 85f. Needless to say, this PSU is a great buy and I would recommend it. I have one, I use one, and I love it

Cons: This PUS has a bite when it comes to the cost but it’s well worth it!

Overall Review: You get what you pay for right? If you pay for this you won't be disappointed

Pros: - 80 Plus Gold efficiency - Fully modular - Can handle 2 to 3 graphics cards at once - Quiet operation - 10-year warranty coverage - Supports Windows 10 Modern Standby

Cons: - Doesn't have the NR135L fan anymore that previous models had, but didn't seem to be an issue so far.

Overall Review: The RM850 provides more than enough power for your standard rigs, with extra juice for SLI setups. It's fully modular, which allows for optimization of cable usage and provide more room for coolers, fins, lighting, or empty space to make your rig look its best. It seems to be shaped to better fit smaller and other modern-shaped rigs. It runs very quiet. The components are new from the previous model, providing support for very high efficiency under light loads. And finally, the 10-year warranty pretty much guarantees the purchase thru the next time or so that you upgrade. If you were on the fence since the old model, this new model is a large improvement.
