The fan is a Yate Loon D14BH-12 140mm unit which can spin up to 2,800 rpm while pushing 140CFM. The maximum noise is rated by the manufacturer up to 48.5 dBa, but we doubt it will get close to this, even under full load. This is however a seriously high performance fan and a great choice by Corsair.
The overall design of the power supply is very clean with oversized heatsinks helping to ensure that temperatures remain within parameters. The 850W TX V2 is tested and guaranteed to deliver its rated specifications at an ambient temperature of 50c.
High quality Rubycon capacitors are used, rated at 400v 330uF and to 105c. As we would expect there is over current and under voltage protection and the PSU conforms to all required international safety standards. Over current protection (OCP) for example is present on all rails, including the single +12V rail (which can deliver 70 Amps – 840w).
The cabling is sleeved into the chassis to ensure long term safety and protection against fraying.
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.
