About this deal

the chances of catastrophic failure or needing to replace the PSU after 10 years or so on the dot has significantly diminished. The HX850 features full range fan control with a passive mode, meaning that the PSU’s thermal circuitry will not even start the fan unless airflow becomes necessary. Even when the fan isn't running the HX850 has specially selected components to reduce electronic noise for a near silent PSU. Even when the fan isn’t running the HX850 has specially selected components to reduce electronic noise for a CP-9020138-UK near-silent PSU.

The most apparent upgrades of this latest revision are 80Plus Platinum efficiency levels and a fully modular design, plus an improved (10 year) manufacturer’s warranty. The company has come a long way since then, as today they are one of the most reputable PSU manufacturers, marketing dozens of units through seven different product series.Even this doesn't take much away from the unit due to the incredible performance which warrants a few extra pennies out of your pocket. I feel 6 PCIe connectors (across three cables, with two on each cable) is more than enough and will easily sate the demand for multiple graphics cards. at 50% load) and thanks to the new internal design and updated Type 4 cables, ripple suppression is excellent.

In the ‘SINGLE’ position, the full output capability of the power supply’s 12V rail is available to any and all connectors, while in the ‘MULTIPLE’ position, each individual connector has Over-Current Protection so no more than 40A of current can be delivered on any given cable. and 5V lines are derived via DC to DC conversion circuits found on the horizontal daughterboard at the edge of the PSU. Tom's Hardware is part of Future US Inc, an international media group and leading digital publisher.If you're really concerned about it, you can crack it open and check the capacitors, that'll probably be the only visual indicator you could find to evaluate the health of the supply. Corsair serves up close to 71A on the +12V rail, 3A for the 5VSB rail, and 150W maximum combined power for the minor rails. Our load tests utilize a couple of FAST ATE active load testers and a variety of other equipment such as an oscilloscope, power conditioner, temperature probe and a power consumption meter. About 20% of the units we have tested seem to have found the sweet spot of 1%-2% regulation and the Corsair HX1050 is right in that sweet spot. Quiet, efficient operation: 80 PLUS Platinum efficiency reduces operating cost and excess heat, and Zero RPM fan mode ensures virtual silence at low and medium loads.

Hi I recently bought a Corsair HX850w Platinum psu and I just wanted to make sure that this power supply can easily handle an rtx 3090. And with the proliferation of new high end boards expecting 8+4 or 8+8 CPU power connections only 1 would be a poor fit for the enthusiast market. This design uses a lot of white fast setting adhesive, likely to help keep the components from vibrating. You can toggle the rail modes using the switch on the PSU, In the SINGLE position, the full output capability of the power supply’s +12V rail is available to any and all connectors, while on MULTIPLE each connector has Over-Current Protection so no more than 40A of current can be delivered to each cable. Unfortunately it is starting to fall behind in the PSU market as newer, more efficient models have made it to the market.For example, an 850 watt power supply will easily handle a high end dual card Crossfire or SLI system but it will do so with plenty of power in reserve to ensure the fan isn't running too high (think noise), and efficiency levels are close to peak between 40% and 60% of total load.
