Corsair Professional HX850 850W Power Supply Review

Voltage Regulation


+12V Regulation (CPU Connector)



+12V Regulation (PCI-E 8-pin Connector)


Even though we haven’t reviewed many power supplies with this new test system of ours, we can safely say that the HX850’s results will surely stay among the cream of the crop for a long time. It simply has some of the best voltage regulation we have ever seen from a power supply. There really isn’t much else to say, is there?


+3.3V / +5V Regulation Notes

As our system does not draw much power from the +3.3V or +5V rails, the Corsair HX850 displayed next to no voltage fluctuations on either of these two rails. The maximum variance we saw was +/- 0.03V for each.
