The PSU inside is packaged nicely and protected in a carton and soft foam. The RM850x Gold seems to resemble older HX and RXi series a little, with the main changes being an 80 PLUS Gold product, low noise operation and that awesome 10-year warranty. The PSU is fan-less up to 40% load, which is a really nice feature we think. That means up to 340 Watts this PSU is passive (inaudible to your ears).

The PSU and cables all come in a carton packaging protected with plastic. The PSU is protected by a plastic bag and then a pouch and the modular cables can be found in a separate bag as well. It is a very sturdy packaging ensuring its safe transportation. Also included is a power cable as well as some tie-wraps.

As stated, this is a 100% modular model. So you will receive plenty of cables. We'll sort them out on the next page though as we need to tell a tale or two about them. Overall you can expect an AC power cable, then all DC cables , a few cable ties, four black mounting screws, a simple enough manual and warranty guide, as well as an advertising leaflet with some Corsairs more trendy products. The backside, yup is 100% modular, including the ATX motherboard cable.

The design is all black with grey accents, and as simple as that is, it is the better 
look eh? The RMx 850W PSU is obviously ready for all current CPU & GPU generations and offers high capacity on its massive single +12V rail (70.8 Amps!) which is great for exotic GPU graphics solutions or simply really high-end graphics cards. At the front and top side, you will see a plenty of air vents, it allows for optimal airflow running through the PSU, cooling down its components and keeping them nicely efficient. Also, obviously we spot the power connector and the on/off switch.
