Unfortunately, despite being excited about this specific power supply, it left us after 1 year of operation. I should note that many of the aforementioned points are true, but I do not consider a power supply that I bought for 210 euros and is supposed to be of high quality to easily break down and burn capacitors, as evidenced by the 7-year warranty provided by Corsair. In any case, I must have been unlucky to come across a faulty piece. Unfortunately or fortunately for me, they did not have the same one to send me, and the store cut off my credit, so I decided to try my luck with the Seasonic Prime 850W Platinum. A company that is one of the leading power supply manufacturers and provides this specific power supply with a 12-year warranty.

It powers my monster since January/17 and I have to say it might be the best purchase I made when I upgraded. You can't be stingy when you have invested hundreds or thousands of euros in your system's power supply.

Initially, only when you open it from the box do you understand why you paid that much and if it's worth it. It is inside a velvety black "bag" that gives you a very premium feeling. You are given several cables, and I mention them as examples (1x ATX 20+4 pin, 2x EPS 8 & 4 pin, 6x 6+2 PCI-E pin, 12x SATA, 8x 4-pin molex, and 2x FFD).

It has 80 Plus Platinum certification and a 10-year warranty officially from Corsair. Let me mention that when we say platinum, the differences from the other categories (gold, silver, bronze) are better and higher efficiency, therefore better power delivery and more stability, resulting in a longer lifespan.

Now let's talk about the features that this monster offers us. Firstly, it gives you the ability to have digital control, which essentially offers you voltage regulation, reliability, and stability. It has Ultra Low Noise technology, which means no sound, no increased temperature, and the fan doesn't even start until you reach about 30% of the voltage, which is approximately 260W. Even with the fan running, you can adjust it, meaning that even in demanding moments, you can significantly reduce its noise, which is already imperceptible.

There is Corsair Link, where through this tool, you can manage all the aforementioned features and many more. It is essentially a diagnostic tool that can record and monitor real-time efficiency, power consumption, and, of course, set up various fan profiles. It has a self-test switch integrated into the PSU, where you can confirm that all the volts leaving your system are functioning correctly and there are no losses or incorrect power supply. It checks if the fan is operational in 3 stages and, in general, performs a check of the PSU's proper functioning.

It is fully modular, which gives you the ability not to install all the cables and save useful space inside your case, although the cables that come with it are very flexible at the ends. It has top-notch high-temperature capacitors up to 105°C and can maintain continuous rates around 50°C on average.

The PSU has a comprehensive range of protection and safety features. There is protection against voltage and overvoltage on the 12V, 5V, and 3.3V rails, protection against overheating, and short circuit.

In general, in these watts, it is the best in my personal opinion, along with the 10-year warranty provided by Corsair. I highly recommend it without reservation!

5 stars from me! This power supply is a "beast" in a good way, of course!
Quiet and reliable. In my opinion, it's not worth paying more and going for the equivalent 860i, the main difference between them is the included software (in the 860i), which in most cases won't be useful for users.
