Corsair TX850 850W Power Supply Review

by Michael "SKYMTL" Hoenig | July 20, 2009

Output Quality (Ripple)

+12V Ripple (CPU Connector)

+12V Ripple (PCI-E Connector)

Considering the TX850 has a single rail, I am sure that many of you were almost certain that the ripple would be the same when going from one connector to the next. Well, due to a number of factors such as solder quality, trace length, load parameters, etc. there will always be differences even if they are minor.

Performance-wise, the +12V ripple never strayed more than a third above the ATX specified maximum so we would consider this a win for the Corsair camp.

+3.3V Ripple

+5V Ripple

As expected, due to the relatively low load on both these rails there really isn’t much to report here even though the +3.3V rail did get a bit jittery when pushed.
