Following on from our recent review of the Corsair SF1000 Platinum power supply, today we look at its smaller sibling – the SF850. This is another new ATX 3.1, fully modular SFX design measuring a diminutive 100 x 125mm x 63.5mm, with a full 7 year warranty. Today we will find out if it is as good as the higher capacity 1000 Watt unit that walked away with our highest award.
Corsair experienced great success with their previous SF L range of power supplies. For these new versions they have improved efficiency levels while make sure the power supply is smaller to fit into even more restrictive chassis designs.
