The short version

The updated RM850x keeps the formula of Corsair's best-selling line: fully modular Type 4 cables, a Zero RPM fan mode, 105 C Japanese capacitors and a 10-year warranty. This revision is ATX 3.1 compliant and includes a native 12V-2x6 cable. It suits most gaming builds up to an RTX 5080-class card. The Gold rating is Cybenetics rather than 80 PLUS on the product page.

Pros

  • Native 12V-2x6 cable included
  • Ten-year warranty
  • Fully modular Type 4 cabling
  • Zero RPM fan mode

Cons

  • Only three PATA connectors and no digital monitoring
  • Gold rather than Platinum
  • Corsair's page text does not list the PCIe 8-pin cable count

Best for

  • Mainstream and upper mid-range gaming builds
  • Buyers wanting a long warranty
