Corsair CS850M PSU review

We review the Corsair CS850M 850 Watt 80-plus GOLD certified power supply. This is a silent and more affordable mainstream 850 Watt power supply that is 80-plus certified, that means it's 90% efficient at 50% load. Efficiency matters. The PSU itself is partly modular, for most of you with a side panel window in their chassis a must really as you'll want modular cables. The new PSU also improved on the silence factor. Have a peek at the article.

Its a good value PSU by Corsair. Guru3d PSU reviews is a bit basic. No Cross Load Testing, no Noise/Ripple Tolerance testings, no info about the temperature at which these tests all done etc

Wouldn't this PSU be classified as semi-modular? I thought fully modular power supplies had a removable 24 pin main and 8 pin CPU connector.
What would the point of a removable 24 pin main be? You cant use the PC without it

Corsair makes great power supplies, I have been using them for years with no problems.

If you've got to remove the power supply for any reason (like an RMA), you can leave all the cables hooked up.

I'm impressed with how well the CS series performs. A lot of people tend to dislike the CS series, but they're great for the price.
