Pros

Corsair 850w gold psu is a beast! Works well with my 3070 and amd 5600x. Only issue is that for some weird reason you get 3 cpu connectors but only 2 gpu connectors (technically 4 with pig tailed cables, but i hate the look of them) a functional psu a...  Read More

Cables are stiff and all but the sata cables are in nice braided jackets. Comes with multiple pcie cables & slots.

It's even quieter than i hoped. People say the 2021 version is louder than the 2018 but i disagree. It is quiet and the modular cables made it easy to fit inside the small case.

After replacing, the rail flakiness was gone. Love it. I hope it would work for anothe r15 years!

And a mainboard's longevity also depends on the quality of the psu.

Shipping


This was the only one available for overnight shipping on amazon so i got another and now i'll just have a spare powersupply i guess.

Packaging leaves something to be desired though.


Cons: when the power supply arrived immediately upon removal from the packaging there was a very strong smell, sort of a mix be...  Read More

    Not sure if this is a general psu problem these days but the heat shrink around the motherboard and cpu cables is not only in a weird spot down the length of the cable but supersuper stiff


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Made getting them to fit through openings in the case turning them and then cable managing everything really difficult


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Maybe theres an advantage here im not aware of but having some flex in these critical areas or just down the whole length wouldve been sweet


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Turns out my ssd wasn’t getting power since the sata power cables are 90° when i really need a straight connector


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It was not fun to install because i was tired and my case the 4000d had the hard drive cage in the way so i kinda just had to shove it in and deal with it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The cable are the prettiest and they are very stiff out of the box


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The graphics card has 3 8 pin pcie slots but this power supply comes with only 2 pcie cables


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    My old fan always made a little soft whirring sound but recently started moaning and whining and giving low pitched roars alternating with a high pitched whine
