The Corsair TX 850W V2 arrives in a stylish box featured a sepia tinted image of the PSU chassis. Their artwork design is some of the best on the market in our opinion.
The bundle contains a power cable, cable ties, mounting screws and a well written manual.
The Corsair TX 850W V2 is securely protected inside two soft foam inserts and is wrapped in a felt pouch to stop scuffing during shipping.
As this power supply is not a modular design, all cables enter the chassis from the front. They are supplied with a hefty cable tie around them for transportation.
As we had hoped, the power supply is extremely attractive, with nicely designed stickers on the sides and a reassuringly large 140mm fan delivering the cooling. The subtle matt paintwork is excellent and won't mark or chip easily.
Connectivity is very strong and 4 x 6+2 pin PCI-E power connectors will appeal to the hardcore gaming community who want a performance SLI or CrossfireX system.

Its no wonder they get such a good reputation in this sector. everyone wants their PSU designs.
Very nice, as always. Id still like the pro unit for the modular cables. my systems end up a mess with non modular and there really only are so many ways you can route cables. especially this many.
My next power supply for the sandybridge system im creating in april 🙂
I agree with the conclusion £100 is always my limit. anything more and it seems overkill. Id like an SLI system, and I think an 850w is an ideal futureproof size.
Ill be ordering this myself.
I love their products, always buy them when I can. all my friends are the same.
I still think 850W is overkill for most people, even if they dont know it. but nice unit, no doubt about that.
I dont think I could live with a non modular supply anymore. So much mess in a case. I wont go back, even if it costs 20 quid more.
I think im the only person in the world who has had a problem with Corsair power supplies.
My last motherboard wouldnt start up from a cold boot with a Corsair unit, I had to get an enermax to solve it.
