Corsair TX850 850W Power Supply Review

Efficiency Testing


Idle Efficiency


When the system is at idle, the TX850 is able to hang with some of the highest-end power supplies on the market even though at times its consumption is a good amount higher than the 80 Plus Silver-rated Enermax.


Load Efficiency


All around load efficiency is very good as well but we can see that as the system demands more and more of the TX850, efficiency decreases in relation to the other power supplies in the chart. At one point, it is a good 6% less efficient than the Enermax.
