Here are the pros: * QUALITY: Corsair quality is a big plus -- and all of that is earned. I can't comment on quality of Corsair products based on just this one, but a lifetime of PC building and Corsair's track record with me and with builders for a decade. heck, this line of PSUs is going strong after how many years? 8 years? They've "refreshed" their HXi 1000W and 1500W units, but we expect them to take good quality products and make them better, higher capacity, etc. over time. Corsair has done exactly that with all their PSU lines. * WARRANTY: Their ten year warranty is top notch, and honestly if it lasts ten years, it is almost surely free of defects -- it would probably last ten more, at that point. * COMPONENTS: Another quality guarantee -- components. Corsair doesn't mess around with cheap capacitors or low-quality conductors or anything like that. That doesn't mean they can't do something wrong, but the wrong isn't going to be popped capacitors. * VOLTAGES: I have a PSU tester (the $50 kind, not the $5000 kind), and it passed 100%. Voltages come in at 5.0V, 12.0V, and 3.2V (close enough). The pg signal is on the low side of normal (about 180-230), which is good. * 12V RAIL CONFIGURATIONS: The ability to switch between separate and combined 12V rails gives you the option -- if you're doing something extreme or custom -- to really tweak your performance vs. protection as you see fit. And that doesn't mean making the wrong choice (or never setting it up at all) will cause a problem if you don't know how to do this kind of tweaking. (Single-rail should be the default.) Disappointed it can only be configured through iCue (as far as I can tell). A physical switch would be much more useful, but I understand that might be a physical limitation. (To balance out this "pro" though, if this is not an important feature to you, you may still be paying a small premium for it. Sometimes we pay for features we don't need in a premium product, but it is important to know that.) * MODULAR: Full modular, it's a "pro" for sure, although at this price in 2022, it better be fully modular. Semi-modular and non-modular are for budget models only at this point. * CABLES: Cables are pliant and not too hard to route, bend, flex, twist, etc. The plain black works well as a default style for most builds, and if you're into special colored cables, you know you're going to need to buy them separately anyway. These are plain enough that they are low cost and don't add too much to the overall base price of the PSU (for people who will never use them) but they are still reliable and quality (for the rest of us). * EFFICIENCY: Platinum efficiency is great, and it does seem achieve 95% efficiency or better at high loads (at least, according to its self-reported stats, partially confirmed by a power monitor between the PC and the wall). * SILENT: The PSU also emits no audible whine or other sounds (when the fan is off), at least not that I can hear. * CABLE TIES: And good brands always get a bit of credit for throwing in some cable ties.

This PSU was very easy to install and made cable management simple thanks to its fully modular design. Quiet operation and solid build quality. Great value for a Gold-rated 850W unit with ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.0 support. No issues so far.

Used this with a new computer build and it worked as I had hoped. The system was an intel i7-14700K based with a RTX3060 graphics card.

2 years ago I bought a pre-built gaming computer with a RTX 3060. From the start it crashed during heavy game play. I replaced a few parts and even sent the GPU back for a replacement. Nothing fixed it and I just assumed that crashing once or twice a day was normal. Ever since upgrading with this power supply about a month ago, I've had zero crashes.

Lots of cables

Confidence in rock solid performance

great price, great performance 10/10

shipping was reasonably prompt from origin. well packaged. simply installation , ample destructions written in languages besides native tongue, I can't begin to ennunciate. The most striking and notable thing I noted about this power supply, it is quiet. I was not sure it actually was running until I got my flashlight and looked up into the fan and saw it spinning. Reallyy!!!

Comes with 12vHPWR Connector

Runs good, does what a psu needs to do and the cables are adaptable.

Product was to replace a 500 Watt of the same power supply and worked as a direct plug-in replacement. Unit has multiple wiring plug adapters that helped in the reach due to the routing that was needed so that the wiring did not have to kink the wiring to the plug in.

- Has all the required connections for my budget build with decent output

All the power you could want.

My build required more SATA power connections than the five supplied. Tried another cable that I had from a previous build, different maker.. do not try this as that new cable was not compatible despite an identical PSU plug. Then went on the web trying to find an ASUS cable, to no avail after 48H . Then did a chat with ASUS and the issue was resolved in 10 min with another triple SATA PSU cable arriving at my home free of charge 3 days later .. and do not exactly live in a big centre ! So the response was far better than I could have hoped for and wonder why I lost all that time searching the web for a cable when ASUS was ready to send me one free of charge. Might try that directly next time. The PSU itself is perfect !

This product was an easy install and seems to be working perfectly

Great looking product Quiet Operation Large amount of connections & 2 native 12v high power cables (with temp probe attached) Cables are robust, mostly 14 AWG & even tho large diameter, the cables are very flexible Nice assortment of included installation hardware (Velcro straps, cable combs etc) At the time I purchased it, was an amazing price $375 USD, for a 1600W A+ tier rated PSU & even tho the company rated it as a 80 plus Gold, it is Cybenetics Platinum rated on power side & A rated on the noise side of things

The psu looks, feels, and weighs like it's high quality

Quiet for a budget PSU Flat PCIe cables look good and are easy to manage Has 12v2x6

Power supply is quiet. It has all the connections I need. Right now it is hooked up to an Intel Arc B570 GPU. However, I have a MSI RTX 5070 coming and I like that this power supply already has the correct connector and I do not need an adapter.

Very quiet, cables seem to be good quality. I used this to replace an MSI power supply that failed within a week of purchase. Newegg was really great at helping me return the defective one and choose a different one
