Corsair Professional HX850 850W Power Supply Review

Packaging and Accessories



The box the HX850 comes in is a mirror image of other Corsair designs other than its use of the odd off-blue accent color. On the other hand, the back gives us a little more information than we were expecting. Along with the usual list of features, we are treated to some internal shots as well as an overhead cable picture.



As usual, Corsair proves to be the master of efficient, well-rounded packaging. The power supply is extremely well protected by an exterior foam casing as well as a soft material wrapping while the modular connectors are pushed to the side in their own dedicated bag.


When it comes to accessories, Corsair never skimps and this high-end power supply’s selection proves no different. Included is a multi lingual instruction manual, the aforementioned bag for the modular cables, black zip ties, a case badge and black mounting screws. The power cord warrants special mention since it is the same industrial-rated unit we have seen on numerous 1000W and higher power supplies.
