Product Showcase

So then, here we have the packaging so you know what to look for in the stores. The PSU inside is packaged nicely and protected in a foam. The CS850M with that M for modularfinds its changes being an increase in efficiency to 80 PLUS Gold, and lower noise.
 

The PSU and cables all come in a carton packaging protected with plastic. The PSU is protected by foam and the modular cables can be found in a plastic bag as well. It is a sturdy enough packaging ensuring its safe transportation.
 

Delivered with the PSU are the simple basics like power cable, manual and screws. As stated, this is a 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, a few cable ties, four black mounting screws, a case badge, a basic manual and warranty guide, as well as an advertising leaflet with some Corsairs more trendy products.
 

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 green/dark theme. The PSU is ready for all current CPU & GPU generations and offers good capacity on its single +12V rail which is great for multi-GPU graphics solutions or really high end graphics cards. At the front and top side we spot a honeycomb air vent; 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. The backside, yup is 100% modular.
