Corsair TX850 850W Power Supply Review

Packaging and Accessories

The box design of the TX850 fits perfectly with the other power supplies in the Corsair lineup. It has a predominantly neutral color which is accented by hints of yellow. The sides of the box also hold additional information about the rail layout and output capabilities while the back gives a list of features in a number of languages.


Corsair loves over protecting their power supplies and this one is no different. Once the box is opened we are greeted by a large piece of foam which protects the top of the power supply against bumps and bruises while the cables are pushed to the side to give some lateral protection. As we will see in the next section, the TX850’s exterior is finished with a durable powder coat but that doesn’t stop Corsair from wrapping the unit in a clot bag to prevent scratches.

When it comes to accessories, most power supplies leave us wanting but Corsair gives us a few extras that will go a long way when it comes to building your dream system. Other than the usual power cord, we get four screws that are coated in a black finish to blend in with the power supply and a Corsair case sticker. Additionally, there is a bundle of black zip-ties that will help you store the mass of unused cables that are left when using a non-modular power supply such as the TX850.
