Goddamn I want one of these so bad. I currently have a cm 550w and its pretty good but I heard corsair has the best PSUs. Plus I can't wait to go modular and make my case all neat and shit. I don't plan on doing SLI/Crossfire but I want to be able to make sure I have headroom for graphic card upgrades in the future. Plus I have a 50 watt delta fan which sounds like a loud hair dryer/leaf blower.
@gaz52 yeah i know, so whats your point? 500w leaves 350w for everything else, and thats plenty, not to mention that it probly puts out more than 850 anyway
@gaz52 You wont be running it at max wattage, and anyway. Decent PSU's such as the corsair are designed to be run at 100% 24/7 with no problems, im running 2 x 480's with no problems
Maybe you should use a bigger knife when you unbox things, make you and your santa hat more badass. Going to get this PSU myself next week looking forward to it.
That PSu was supposed to be "80 Plus Gold". But it bearly made it into the "Gold Zone" so Corsair decided to rate it as "80 Plus Silver" instead. So you can call it gold or very high end silver. I will get this PSu soon. And I'm really looking forward to upgrade to it so I don't need to use my VX 550W any more.
@KapteinFruit i did not know it was suppose to be in the Plus Gold, the 80 Plus Silver is enough for me I only heard good review about this PSU. Doing the job so far ..... i love this PSU
@KapteinFruit Corsair or nor does any other manufacturer decide the 80 PLUS standard. PSUs are tested to be certified for 80 PLUS, and the manufacturer is not alllowed in any way to change that rating. Even though studies find that the HX 850 is rated above Gold standards, they are rated Silver, which I find very odd
@bvestationfan I'm high now so I might have misunderstood your reply.
Anyways, what I meant was that the Corsair HX 850W did barely have good enough results so I chose to let it be a high end 80 Silver PSU. Know what I'm saying?
@bvestationfan They chose* They i.e. Corsair made it 80 Plus Silver to make the consumers happy. Instead of some getting a BARELY Gold PSU they get a very high en Silver one. Put it this way, the chose to have a Silver logo instead of a Gold because Corsair felt it wasn't worth calling it Gold Rated because it was barely.
4:05 for the unboxing, your welcome.

of course, but why do you want 3X5850 in the first place?

@gaz52 No, it will do it fine, bear in mind this can do SLI 480's

@SeanBondWBB I wouldn't trust this psu with 2 480s. They use around 500w under load by themselves.
gaz52 1 year ago
@gaz52 wtf are you on about, 250w max board power mate
SeanBondWBB 1 year ago
@SeanBondWBB Yeah, that's 250w for each card. Look it up on Nvidia website.

@gaz52 Then your clearly a retard, enjoy buying an crazy wattage power supply, and ruining it by running it below recommended load.
SeanBondWBB 1 year ago
@SeanBondWBB You're the retard. It's not recommended to run any psu at max wattage. And btw, I have this with 2 460s and it's running great.
