CORSAIR SF850 (2024) Fully Modular SFX Low Noise 80 Plus Platinum Power Supply – ATX 3.1 Compliant – PCIe 5.1 Ready – Small Form Factor – SFX-to-ATX Bracket Included – Black

The Many Good things: -Price point is great - there is no other SFX-L 1000-watt psu on the market for under $300 (at least at the time of writing). - PSU is powerful and is easily able to handle an overclocked PSU and overclocked GPU - even the most recent, newest GPU's are compatible like the 7900 xtx and 40-series cards (at least, at the time of writing)! - Its seriously super quiet. The Fan doesn't even need to turn itself on most of the time. That might be a problem for some but come on.... youve got an ITX build. You know its gonna run hotter than most build anyways. - Its got a TON of PCI-e connectors, all fully modular! That means that you've got many options for linking it up to that power-hungry graphics card you've been dreaming about. You can use one dedicated cable per power connector on your GPU. Im using an AMD 7900 xtx with three power connectors - each using their own dedicated cable! -Wires are NOT braided, but I think that this is actually a GOOD thing! Hear me out - Braiding equals unnecessary bulk and additional inflexibility, making wires harder to hide within the smallest of ITX build. The wires as well as connectors going into the PSU are super small, more flexible than competitor's PSU's and easy to route! The only BAD thing I encountered: I originally purchased this PSU with the intention on pairing it with the Phanteks Shift XT ITX Form Factor PC Chassis... but for some reason this was a bad combination. The Shift XT Chassis wasn't able to properly ground itself with this PSU. And as a result, any random contact with the Shift XT Chassis metal plating would result in a static shock and ZAAAP! The computer would turn itself off. This was fixed by changing the PC case from Phanteks Shift XT to a Lian Li A4-H20 - and I never experienced the issue ever again.

This is probably the best power supply available at a reasonable price (~$160). The design is sleek and the cables are high quality and sleeved. It also includes a SFX to ATX bracket to use in larger builds, though that obviously isn't ideal. There is a zero RPM mode for the fan that essentially means the fan will stay off until needed, making your computer run quieter. I would avoid using this with high TDP components, but you can always check this using a wattage calculator. I used an older model of this power supply a couple years ago and the computer still works great. I expect this from the new CORSAIR SF750 and would recommend it, especially on sale.

I've had my last few rigs in the Lian Li 011 mini (OG version) so I need SFX PSUs. Prior to this I had the Cooler Master V850, which served me just fine for the last couple of years. However, recently I upgraded all my Corsair fans and AIO to the new LINK ones and the controller requires a PCIe power cable connection as SATA is insufficient for the power requirements. The CM V850 did not come with enough PCIe cables. Sure, I could have bought another cable but I'm actually glad I bought this Corsair PSU instead, it was definitely an upgrade over the V850. First of all, the included cables are braided and are very nice, that alone was worth it for me. In addition, the Corsair has 5 PCIe ports and includes 3 standard type 5 PCIe cables, 2 CPU cables, and a 600W cable for modern GPUs (this was a nice surprise for me when I opened the box, I didn't know it came with this PSU). That allowed me to get rid of the nVidia adapter I was using, which further cleaned up my case. All in all I'm very pleased with this PSU, its dead silent and the cables are amazing.

Pros. Quiet Operation: The 120mm fan operates quietly even under load, with smart fan curves that help minimize noise during low-to-moderate usage. Future-Proofing: With support for PCIe 5.0 and ATX 3.0, it accommodates high-end GPUs and meets demanding power specifications of new components. Cons. Modular cables, while beneficial, can sometimes be a bit bulky or lengthy for tight spaces, requiring extra attention for efficient routing.

I bought this item as new directly from Amazon, ship and sold. They did ship the item on time but thats where my joy stopped. The psu was used, it had the famous L P N lable on the box that was a giveaway one. Two, the box was not factory shrink wrapped. The cables where not sealed in a bag. Just loose sloshing around in the box. This seems to be happening a lot considering other reviews mention the same. I highly recommend to buy this somewhere else, so you know that you will be getting a new item. This is supposed to be top of the line quality power supply that is fast easy to install and saves power by being efficient. The connectors are top notch just wish I would have gotten a new one. Sending this one back and getting one from a brick and motor store.

Corsair makes good-quality products. I've got keyboards, mice, and headsets from Corsair and have been very happy with them. Well.... I recently bought a new graphics card for my video editing computer, and with the card, I figured I should probably buy a new power supply as well. I bought this one. It's modular, meaning it comes with an assortment of inter-changeable cables, you only use the cables you need. I loved the fact that it came with a generous supply of cable ties. Unbeknownst to me when I ordered this item, is there are a couple different sizes of power supplies. This particular one, while it had all the connections I needed, is designed for a small, compact computer case or mini tower. I have a standard-sized case. While the unit fit NICELY in my case with LOTS of room to spare, the problem was that the cables were nowhere near long enough! D'OH! So I ended up sending this model back and ordering a different power supply, one that was made for a regular-sized computer case. (Yes, the new power supply was also from Corsair, and it works great!)

Good company and one of the better power supply

Compré está PSU para darle un upgrade a mi PC en el futuro, se siente de muy buena calidad y está preparada para RTX 4XXX con su conector, antes de ella tenía una de 850W que ya estaba sobrada. Las Specs de mi PC son R7 5800X3D y RX 6950XT con 32 GB de ram. Deben considerar que está PSU es más grande que una SFX normal y podrían tener más problemas con el manejo de cables.

Extremely good PSU. Given the tight space and lack of heat dispersion in SFF cases, I think that this is the only functional SFX PSU that would work for enthusiasts setup in SFF.

Muy recomendable para ensambles pequeños, por el tipo de cable que tiene es muy fácil si orden y manejo. Pero solo la recomendaría si le encuentras en oferta como yo, ya que en su precio normal puedes comprar una de otra marca con más watts.

La vida de un crítico es sencilla en muchos aspectos, arriesgamos poco, y tenemos poder sobre aquellos que ofrecen su trabajo y su servicio a nuestro juicio. Esperamos con las críticas negativas – divertidas de escribir y leer- pero la triste verdad que debemos afrontar, es que en el gran orden de las cosas, cualquier basura tiene más significado que lo que deja ver nuestra crítica. Pero en ocasiones el crítico si se arriesga cada vez que descubre y defiende algo nuevo… el mundo suele ser cruel con el nuevo talento, las nuevas creaciones… lo nuevo, necesita amigos. Anoche experimenté algo nuevo en mi sistema, un extraordinario wattage de una fuente singular e inesperada, decir sólo que el tamaño, lo silencioso y su poder han desafiado mis prejuicios sobre la buena tecnologia subestimaría la realidad. En opinión de este crítico, es nada menos que la mejor fuente de poder precio beneficio. Sin pensarlo, me lo volvería a comprar, pero se que eso no es necesario porque me va durar años está poderosa pulga (fuente). 10/10
