Right it's photo time ! Above we have the packaging so you know what to look for in the stores. The PSU inside is packaged nicely and protected in a carton. The AX860i Platinum main changes being an increase in efficiency, lower noise and LINK control. The PSU is fanless up-to 30% load, which we feel is an awesome feature.

The PSU and cables all come in a carton packaging protected with plastic. The PSU is protected by a cloth pouch and the modular cables can be found in a separate pouch as well.

After unpacking, not a dent, scratch or smudge was on the unit. I like it, the PSU breathes this stylish matte dark finish with a black/red theme.

The PSU is ready for all current CPU & GPU generations and offers high capacity on its single +12V rail which is great for multi-GPU graphics solutions or really high end graphics cards. That's a whole lot of cables alright ! GPU connectors for example you'll receive six 6/8-pin PEG headers. I'll show you an overview of cables on the next page though.

At the front and top side we spot 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 at the front side.

Corsair Obsidian 350D review
We review a new chassis from Corsair, it Obsidian 350D. It is the mini-me version of the new Obsidian 900D chassis. Not mid, not full, mini and this intended for small form factor PCs. Now the product might be tagged as mini, the details and features however are grand. Armed with a price much better then the 900D this might be the product a lot of you are on the lookout for.

Corsair Voyager Air review
We review the Voyager Air, it is a portable storage unit allows you to connect it towards USB 3.0 and Ethernet, but it also includes WIFI support and it actually comes on a 100 GB HDD model as well. This great looking device might just be what the doctor to move or stream your content from.
