As you can see the PSU is 100% modular. Lot's and lots of connections. Even the ATX power header can be detached. See the button on the top left ? That's a Self-test switch to determine PSU functionality even before installation. Green is good - red not so much.

And yeah as you can see, a fairly normal length product really with its 16 cm - it's complete dimensions are 5.9"(W) x 3.4"(H) X 6.3"(L); 150mm(W) x 86mm(H) x 160mm(L).

BTW you will notice there's a AX860 and AX860i SKU. The 'i' versions are Link compatible. We'll show you more about Link in the next pages.

At the top you'll stumble into a fan -- silent enough, 140 mm. A silent quality fan (double ball bearaing). When load is under 30% the fan will remain off as explained quite often by now.

And check that out, that's 71.6A on the single 12V rails alone. Very nice ! In theory this PSU could hold three GeForce GTX 680 cards or Radeon HD 7970 cards quite easily. Albeit for 800 watt range we say, two way multi-GPU maximum as you need reserves for overclocking on the CPU and GPUs as well.

Corsair HS65 Wireless Headset review
Headsets are one of the types of peripherals that Corsair offers (there are also PC components, but that’s not a story for this review). It ranges from budget-oriented HS series (the reviewed one is one of them), then there’s the mid-range Void series, and it ends with high-end Virtuoso. The HS series starts with HS35, and till now, it also contained HS45, HS50, HS55, HS60, HS65, HS70, HS75, and HS80 (some of them had different, wireless variants). We’re checking out the all-new Corsair HS65 Wireless in this review (today is the debut).

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 6000 CL36 review
In July, Corsair presented a new series of DDR5 memories: the Vengeance RGB DDR5. The available kits from the RGB edition have a frequency higher than the base 4800 MHz (5200-6600 MHz); the non-RGB version starts from 4800 MHz. We are checking the Corsair Vengeance RGB 6000 MHz CL36 DDR5 kit today. It's in the middle frequency in the series. We already had an opportunity (almost three years ago) to review the Vengeance (Pro) RGB series RAM, but it was for the DDR4; the frequency was 3200 MHz, and it received a "Top Pick" award, and also the Vengeance RGB Pro SL which had 3600 MHz frequency (with CL18) and got the "Approved" award. But let's focus back on the tested DDR5 kit.

Corsair Katar Elite Wireless mouse review
In this article, we review the Corsair Katar Elite Wireless mouse. It’s an optical gaming mouse that was launched today, on 26.10.2022. The Katar model is a new version of the Katar Pro Wireless that was introduced on October 2020. The Katar Elite Wireless is targeted at gamers, but it should also work more than fine as a regular mouse. This time, the optical sensor is not the 10K DPI PMW3325 but a 26K DPI Corsair Marksman. It has 1 DPI resolutions steps, 650 IPS tracking, and up to 50G acceleration.
